Temperature Modulation Therapy

Philips InnerCool RTx Endovascular System

Enhancing patient care. That’s at the core of the InnerCool RTx Endovascular System.
Modulating patient temperature has been clinically used in
limited settings since the 1950s, however in recent years,
momentum for Temperature Modulation Therapy is
building for more wide-reaching clinical practice uses. As
these cases expand and research continues, Philips
Healthcare is there to meet the needs of patients and
clinicians with the high performance of the InnerCool RTx.
The InnerCool RTx Endovascular System for cooling and
warming provides rapid cooling power. The System can
induce, maintain and reverse mild hypothermia as well as
maintain normal body temperature (normothermia). It is
backed by over 10 years of research in multiple clinical
settings.
In creating the InnerCool RTx, our engineers and scientists
have developed several unique advances in temperature
modulation therapy including:
• The fastest cooling and warming rates in the industry.
• Dynamic temperature modulation (a change in
temperature of ≥4 °C/hr) for rapid cooling.
• The ability to cool non-paralyzed patients who are
either awake or unconscious.
• Precise temperature control using the only catheter
that contains an integrated temperature monitoring
sensor.
• Rapid cooling of patients previously considered
“difficult to cool” – those with a Body Mass Index
greater than 30Kg/m2.
The InnerCool RTx System consists of an endovascular
catheter, the console, and a heat-transfer circulating
cassette with color-coded tubing. The circulating cassette
is easily inserted into the console making for rapid set-up.

The catheter is made of a flexible metallic material with an
innovative design of helices and bellows to maximize heat
exchange. A balanced electrolyte solution circulates in a
closed-loop manner from the console throughout the
catheter.
The System can be used with either the InnerCool
Accutrol Catheter or Standard Catheter. Both catheters
maintain their small profiles in situ unlike catheters with
inflatable balloons. The catheters have a covalently-bonded
Heparin coating to minimize blood clotting and they can
remain in situ during certain “head-only” MRI procedures.
The Accutrol Catheter also contains an integrated sensor
for temperature feedback. This eliminates the need for an
independently placed temperature probe, avoiding the lag
in core temperature measurement inherent in rectal and
bladder sensors.
Using an intuitive touch screen, clinicians can select from
multiple modes of operation. You can set the InnerCool
RTx to provide active warming and/or cooling. Auto
Rewarm rewarms the patient according to a
predetermined set of criteria and Transport Mode allows
you to stop treatment, shut the device off, move to
another location and restart treatment without losing the
current treatment parameters.
Whether it is warming, cooling or maintaining normal body
temperature, the InnerCool RTx is ready to provide what
patients need and clinicians require.
