Table 1 Subdermal temperature response at baseline and 20 minutes

Condition	T0 [°C (°F)]	T20 [°C (°F)]	ΔT20 [°C (°F)]
SootheAway 1	42.5 (108.5 °F)	38.6 (101.5 °F)	-3.9 (-7.0 °F)
SootheAway 2	35.6 (96.1 °F)	27.2 (81.0 °F)	-8.4 (-15.1 °F)
ThermoCuff	35.4 (95.7 °F)	20.6 (69.1 °F)	-14.8 (-26.6 °F)
Ambient	40.8 (105.4 °F)	39.0 (102.2 °F)	-1.8 (-3.2 °F)

ΔT20 = T (20 minutes) - T0; negative values indicate cooling.
