offered after hours in the U.S. by calling 303-926-1917 or 877-267-2314. Other customers should
contact their local distributor.
Additional educational materials, such as training programs for in-house staff, operator manuals,
quick reference guides, and a bibliography of relevant materials are available to all Medivance
customers.
1.3
System Description
The Arctic Sun Temperature Management System is a thermoregulatory device that monitors and
controls patient temperature within a range of 33°C to 37°C (91.4°F to 98.6°F). The Arctic Sun
System consists of the Model 2000 and disposable Arctic Sun Energy Transfer Pads. The Model
2000 consists of the Control Module, Remote Display, Fluid Delivery Line, cables and
accessories.
With the Energy Transfer Pads adhered to the patient’s skin, the Model 2000 pulls temperaturecontrolled water ranging between 4°C and 42°C (39.2°F and 107.6°F) through the pads. This
results in heat exchange between the water and the patient. Unlike conventional water based
systems, this system operates under negative pressure relative to ambient. Any break or leak in
the fluid path will result in air entering the circuit instead of water leaking out.
The system functions in either an Automatic Mode or Manual Mode. In Automatic Mode, a patient
temperature probe, connected to the Control Module, provides feedback to an internal control
algorithm. The temperature of the water increases or decreases automatically to achieve a preset patient target temperature determined by the clinician. In Manual Mode, the feedback control
algorithm is not activated. The operator adjusts the temperature of the water delivered to the pads
directly and is responsible for monitoring patient temperature.

CHAPTER 2
2.1
THEORY OF OPERATION
Introduction
The Model 2000 was designed to control patient temperature with a high level of precision by
rapidly altering water temperature in response to a patient core temperature sensor using a
closed-loop algorithm. To achieve rapid response with tight control, the system is designed to
circulate a minimum volume of water, have a high heating and cooling capacity, and include
sensors for real-time feedback of energy transfer.
2.2
System Components
The Model 2000 system is composed of several components.
Control Module – The main unit which includes the hydraulics and major elements of the
electronics.
Remote Display Module – The primary control and monitoring interface for the user.
Fluid Delivery Line – The reusable dual lumen tubing connecting the Control Module to the
pads.
Interconnect Cables and Accessories – The cables that connect the Control Module to mains
power, the Control Module to the Remote Display Module, and optional patient temperature
cables. Accessories include fill tubes, drain bags, Fluid Delivery Line straps and others.
2.3
Hydraulic System
The hydraulic system within the Control Module consists of the following major elements:
Pumps
- Circulating pump
- Chiller pump
- Mixing pump
Sensors
- 4 Water temperature sensors
- Flow meter
- Pressure sensor
Valves
- Vent valve
- Bypass valve
- Fill valve
Heater
Tanks
- Circulating Tank
- Chiller Tank
- Main Tank
Inlet/Outlet Manifold
Chiller

Page 12
The hydraulic system is composed of two major fluid circuits; the circulating circuit and the chiller
circuit (see Figure 2.1). The circulating circuit controls the flow of water to the pads. The chiller
circuit provides a constant source of cold water that is pumped, as needed, into the circulating
circuit.
Water in the circulating circuit is pulled from the Circulating Tank through the Inlet/Outlet Manifold
and out to the Energy Transfer Pads. Water then returns from the pads through the Inlet/Outlet
Manifold to the negative pressure side of the positive displacement Circulating Pump. Water
leaves the Circulating Pump under positive pressure then passes through a turbine flow meter
and heater before returning to the Circulating Tank. Water in the Main Tank replenishes the
circulating circuit.
The chiller circuit operates independent of the circulating circuit. Water in the Chiller Tank drains
into the centrifugal Chiller Pump where it then is pumped under positive pressure through the
Chillers’ evaporator. The evaporator is a heat exchanger with cold refrigerant on one side and
water on the other. Water then returns to the Chiller Tank to complete the cycle. The system
controls the temperature of the water in the Chiller Tank to 4°C by activating a valve on the
refrigerant side when additional cooling is no longer needed.
When the system determines water must be warmed, the heater is activated in the circulating
circuit. When the system determines water must be cooled, water is drawn out of the Circulating
Tank by the positive-displacement Mixing Pump and metered into the Chiller Tank. This causes
water to overflow the Chiller Tank and refill the Circulating Tank with cold water where it mixes,
cooling the circulating water.
The flow of water to the pads is controlled by regulating the Circulating Pump speed using
pressure sensor (P1). The pressure is regulated to -7 psi. This assures that the flow through
each pad is maintained regardless of how many pads are connected. Since water in the pads
and lines is at a negative pressure relative to ambient, any break causes air to enter the circuit
instead of water leaking out where it may contaminate the patient. This valuable feature can
make troubleshooting leaks more difficult.
The temperature of the water going out to the pads is controlled using a temperature sensor (T2)
and monitored by a temperature sensor (T1). Both sensors are located in the Circulating Tank.
Temperature sensor (T3) measures the temperature of water returning from the pads. The
difference between outlet and inlet water temperature along with the flow rate provides the control
algorithm real-time feedback on the current heat load for optimal temperature regulation.
Temperature sensor (T4) is used to regulate the cold water within the chiller circuit.
There are three valves installed in the Inlet/Outlet manifold to permit filling the system with water,
pre-conditioning the water to a desired temperature, and emptying the pads of water at the end of
a case. When the Fill mode is activated, water is drawn up through the Fill Tube, through the Fill
Valve (FV) by the Circulating pump. The water then enters the Circulating Tank and by gravity
passes to the Main Tank. Air, displaced by the water, exits the Main Tank through a small hole
in the top of the tank. It is important to note that pads cannot be connected during this operation.
The user may wish to pre-condition the temperature of the water prior to pads being connected.
The system will detect the absence of pads connected by feedback from the flow meter and
pressure sensor and will open the Bypass Valve (BV). Water is drawn out of the Main Tank
through the Bypass Line and is shunted past the Fluid Delivery Lines into the circulating circuit
8
Page 13
where it returns back into the Circulating Tank. Water flows through the leveling line from the
Circulating Tank back into the Main Tank. During this cycle, the temperature of the water is
controlled by activating the Heater or Mixing Pump. Automatic activation of the Bypass Valve
occurs briefly at the beginning of both Automatic Mode and Manual Mode in order to completely
prime the Circulating Pump. If pads are connected, the Bypass Valve will close after one minute.
A user can initiate the Purge Mode in order to empty the pads of water prior to disconnecting
them. Purge Mode causes the Vent Valve (VV) to open to atmosphere through the vent line
communicating with the top of the Main Tank. This causes air to be drawn into the pads and the
circulating circuit, emptying the pads.
The water level in the Main Tank is sensed by detecting conductivity with an array of stainless
steel studs in the tank. There are five level sensors and a reference sensor.

Electronic Control System
The electronic control system consists of two independent subsystems, the Control and the Monitor.
The Control Subsystem performs all of the normal machine operations while the Monitor Subsystem
continually monitors important machine operations with independent sensors. If the Control acts
incorrectly with respect to the safety of the patient, the monitor will disable pump power, thus
preventing inappropriate therapy from being delivered. Each subsystem has a microprocessor,
watchdog, keyboard input circuitry, audio alarm, outlet water temperature sensing circuitry, and
patient temperature sensing circuitry.
The Control Subsystem performs the following functions:
Command (keyboard) interpretation and information display
Outlet water temperature control
Water flow control
Patient temperature measurement (Patient Temperature 1) and control
Temperature Out signal generation
Cold water supply temperature control
Valve control
The Monitor Subsystem performs the following functions:
Redundant command (keyboard) interpretation
Outlet water temperature monitoring
Patient temperature measurement (Patient Temperature 2)
Pump power control
Power supply monitoring
Data logging output to the RS-232 port
The majority of the hardware comprising the electronic control system is located within the card cage.
The card cage consists of six major elements (See Figure 7.4).
Power Module: The Power Module includes a 24VDC medical universal input switching power
supply (IEC601.1 compliant), a Mains circuit breaker, cooling fan, heater circuit fuse,
equipotential stud, and solid state relay. The Power Module is connected to the Power Card by
two pigtail connectors.
Backplane: The Backplane is passive, serving only to connect the four circuit cards listed below.
Power Circuit Card: The Power Card provides low voltage power regulation to the balance of the
electronics as well as Mains line synchronization (with 4000V isolation from Mains), pump power
control, a Mains loss alarm, and a secondary audible alarm. The Mains loss circuit is powered by
low leakage capacitors and needs no battery.
Processor Circuit Card: The Processor Card houses the Control and Monitor microprocessors
and their associated circuitry, including nonvolatile memory for each.
Isolation Circuit Card: Five isolated "islands" of circuitry comprise the Isolation Card. One island
is connected to the Backplane and provides an interface to the rest of the card cage. This island
11
Page 16
is referenced to chassis ground. The other islands are isolated from the Backplane island by
opto-isolators or transformers. The RS-232 #1, RS-232 #2, and Temperature Out (Echo) islands
are isolated from the Backplane and from each other to a breakdown voltage of at least 500V.
The patient temperature island is isolated from all others to a level of 1500V. It should be noted
that, in addition to this, the 24V power supply in the Power Module isolates all low voltage
circuitry to a level of 4000V from Mains.
Input/Output (I/O) Circuit Card: The I/O Card contains the majority of the actuator and sensor
circuitry. T1, T2, T3, and T4, the flowmeter, pressure sensor, and level sensor are conditioned on
the I/O Card. Both pump motors, the valves, and the refrigeration system are controlled by this
circuit card.
The remaining circuitry is housed in the Remote Display Module. This module communicates with
the card cage via a cable having 13 twisted pairs using a technology called Low Voltage Differential
Signaling (LVDS) which minimizes both the risk of spurious signals interfering with communication
and the emission of electromagnetic energy. The Remote Display Module houses LED display
drivers, keyboard interpretation circuitry, an audible alarm (primary), and an LCD text module.
There is also a manually resettable thermal breaker mounted on the heater casing. This breaker is
not used for normal temperature control, only to ensure that in the event of control failures the heater
does not over heat.
