Crews wear full fire suit and full-face helmet. I got to use [AVACEN] system after about a mile run down pit road to go make a position verification. After the run, I was exhausted and had no energy, but after using [AVACEN] system in a matter of a couple of minutes I was full of energy and ready to go again. It felt like I never ran in the first place. [AVACEN] system felt like it cooled my body from the inside out and my face and my entire body felt much cooler and I was much more relaxed and not out of breath from the heat in a full fire suit. I also used it after each stop and afterwards I never felt like I never did anything in the first place. This [AVACEN] system... is a wonderful product and should be brought to auto racing. It did wonders for the pit crew on a hot summer day and kept us more motivated and mentally stable. Overall, this system is great."

"The crew of the number 84 included Norm Benning, the driver, who used the system before he got into the car and said over the radio to us when he started to race he felt he had a lot of energy and his body temperature felt much cooler. Greg Seevers the jack man used it after the pit stops and felt like he never even made a pit stop. Tim Schultz used [AVACEN] after the pit stop as a front tire carrier and felt much more relieved."

Using [AVACEN] allows me to keep my body from ever overheating. In temperatures exceeding 100 degrees I am able to cool and feel as if I am starting the day over again with my original energy level. There are days where I participate in more than one race. Cooling between races makes me feel as if each race is my first. It makes me feel 100% better. I now use it for weight training for 1-5 minutes between sets as well and have seen the benefits in the gym. [AVACEN] makes you feel like you've just begun again.

"It made my heart feel good."
"It will help so many people."
"It made me feel what it would feel like for normal people in the heat."
"I would do anything to help promote [AVACEN] to others with MS."

We have about 20-25 athletes using the device, primarily football players. This year we had no heat-related I.V.s and we avoided having to bring in physicians for these episodes. [AVACEN] is easy to use, travels well, and gets the job done. Basically, we were able to return people to play with the cramping recurring. I would definitely recommend [AVACEN] for other programs. ”

It has reduced and/or eliminated cramping and seems to have a calming effect on players. During our game again University of Florida 3 years ago it was about 94 degrees out with a heat index of 110 degrees or more. We were behind 23-3. I felt that [AVACEN] helped maintain them through the game and helped us win that game. ”

As a result of body core cooling with [AVACEN], no athlete required IV saline treatments for dehydration throughout the entire season." We never needed to treat a single case of heat-related illness for the entire season. ALL developing muscle cramps completely responded to one or two treatments with [AVACEN]." Throughout the entire season we had no episodes of cramp recurrence and none of our athletes developed complete body cramping symptoms.

We have a unit set up in a clinic. One gentleman showing signs of heat stress used the device and within a few minutes we managed to avoid a dangerous and expensive incident: He was back to normal. I have sat with the device where workers exit the radiation-controlled area. I chose guys who were hot and almost every one claimed to feel better and refreshed after cooling. We also use the device in our fire college. During training, it is used at intervals for cooling. Your body recovers from heat much quicker with [AVACEN].

I really appreciate the loan, several people used it at the end of a power outage (including myself) while the unit was heating up. The recovery time from the heat environment was much quicker, also I felt like the recovery from the heat was much faster than normal and I didn't feel drained the rest of the night like I normally would.

We had the opportunity to use it several times during the outage with great results. A particular case comes to mind at the beginning of the outage where the core temp system came in handy on a heat stress patient that recuperated within 15 minutes."
