Alsius

Alsius Corporation was a medical-device company that developed catheter-based intravascular temperature-management (IVTM) systems for precise regulation of core body temperature. Its heat-exchange catheters and control consoles induced or reversed therapeutic hypothermia to treat cardiac arrest, brain ischemia, and traumatic brain injury. Backed by Canaan Partners (Canaan Equity), Alsius went public via a 2006 reverse merger with Ithaka Acquisition Corp and sold its temperature-management assets to ZOLL Medical Corporation for roughly USD 12 million in 2009, after which it ceased to operate as an independent company. It has no public developer program, API, or specifications; this profile is a Canaan-partners portfolio identity record with no API surface to enrich.

Alsius is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Medical Devices, Healthcare, Temperature Management, and Medical Technology.
