About this trial
The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance and safety of the VCool Intranasal Cooling System in healthy adult volunteers. The study is designed to gather preliminary data regarding air flow rates and time required to reduce core body temperature to 35.5℃ and maintain the temperature between 35℃ and 36℃ for one hour after cooling.
