18 devices · GMDN 36172
This category includes electrically powered control units that manage the temperature and flow of fluid in an external circulating system designed to lower a patient's core body temperature. These devices are used clinically to treat hyperthermia or fever, or to induce therapeutic hypothermia to reduce metabolic demand, such as during surgical procedures. They work by circulating cooled fluid through a patient-applied pad, though the pad itself is not included in this category.
These devices are typically supplied as capital medical equipment intended for use by healthcare professionals in clinical environments. They integrate components like a refrigeration unit, pump, and fluid reservoir to deliver precise temperature regulation. When browsing this category, expect to find systems designed for controlled cooling applications rather than warming or general temperature maintenance.
