CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Use of the Model 2000 Service Manual
The Arctic Sun Temperature Management System provides a safe and effective way of modifying
patient temperature and delivering precise temperature control in a novel way. This Service
Manual provides a detailed description of the Model 2000, its construction, routine maintenance
and calibration. The Model 2000 Operators Manual should be consulted for general operation
detail. It is important that the Model 2000 be properly maintained and serviced in accordance with
the instructions described in this manual. Only trained personnel should service this product.
1.2 Customer Information and Technical Support
Prior to using the Arctic Sun System, a Medivance representative will provide on-site in-services
to ensure adequate training has occurred.
Additional requests for technical support, information or orders may be placed by mail, fax, or by
calling Medivance Customer Service.
Medivance hours of operation are 8 am to 5 pm Mountain Standard Time. Emergency support is
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 temperature-
controlled 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 pre-
set 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.
