ZOLL IVTM™ System 

 

Physicians' Manual 

600248-001 Rev 3 

20 

 

The IVTM System automatically logs both the patient temperature and the bath 
temperature into memory. A review of this history record will show the time at which 
the fever was initiated (a rise in temperature to the trigger threshold). The IVTM 
System history record will also display the cooling bath temperature over time. 

In Summary 

The IVTM System is a heat exchange unit. If the IVTM System is cooling, fever is 
present. Normal antisepsis regimens should be initiated.
