The reported event was inconclusive because this investigation did not result in any additional findings and no sample was available for evaluation.The reported event is addressed within the labeling as it state, directions for use 1.Arcticgel pads are only for use with an arctic sun® temperature management system control module.See operators manual for detailed instructions on system use.2.Select the proper number, size and style pad for the patient size and clinical indication.However, the rate of temperature change and potentially the final achievable temperature is affected by pad surface area, patient size, pad placement and water temperature range.Best system performance will be achieved by using the entire pad set (4).If the entire set of pads is not used, the minimum flow rate may not be achieved.3.For patient comfort, the pads may be prewarmed using water temperature control mode (manual) prior to application.4.Place the pads on healthy, clean skin only.Remove any creams or lotions from patient¿s skin before pad application.Remove the release liner from each pad and apply to the appropriate area.The pads may be overlapped or folded adhesive-to-adhesive to achieve proper placement.The pads may be removed and reapplied if necessary.The pad surface must be contacting the skin for optimal energy transfer efficiency.Place pads to allow for full respiratory excursion.5.Attach the pad¿s line connectors to the patient line manifolds.Begin circulating water through the pads using either patient temperature control mode (automatic) or water temperature control mode (manual).If the pads fail to prime or a significant continuous air leak is observed in the pad return line, check connections, then if needed replace the leaking pad.6.Once the pads are primed, assure the flow rate displayed on the control panel is greater than 1.7 liters per minute, which is the minimum flow rate for a full pad kit (4).7.When finished, empty water from pads.Cold temperature increases the adhesiveness of the hydrogel.For ease of removal, leave pads on the patient for approximately 15 minutes to allow the hydrogel to warm.Slowly remove pads from the patient and discard.A review of the device history record did not show any problems or conditions that would have contributed to the reported issue.No additional actions can be taken at this time.Correction: e udi format updated with available product information per gudid.H11: section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.

It was reported that a low flow alarm occurred immediately after starting use of the arctic gel pads, and no flow was observed.Per follow up information received via task on 23oct2025, number of products affected was 1.No patient harm or injury.Sample would be returned and let know the tracking id in near future.Photo sample was not provided and attached later.
