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.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
Alsius is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Alsius scores 5.7/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

Alsius is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
