Clinical area
Heat-stroke response
Portable cooling for trained medical teams responding at the scene and during transport.
CarbonCool® devices are for use by trained medical personnel only.
01 / Response pathway
Prepare the response pathway
Before deployment
Stage the configured kit
Freeze MPads according to the instructions for use, select the body-weight configuration and keep the system accessible to trained staff.
At the scene
Follow the clinical protocol
Assess and stabilise the patient under the service's heat-illness protocol, then apply CarbonCool® according to the instructions for use.
During cooling
Monitor and reassess
Use a separate core-temperature monitor, check skin condition and coordinate onward transport and handoff.
02 / Research
Field evidence
The comparison below reports measurements from one field study; it is not a guarantee of an individual patient result.
