The cold slurry can be 122 generated within the device itself or within a separate small chamber, both of which produce a cold slurry using a cooling source and an injectable fluid. The delivery de- vice provides continued agitation to the fluid/slurry through rotation and/or vibration 150 of blades within the device. The fluid/cold slurry is cooled/kept cool through the use of an external cooling device, such as a cooling sleeve, that at least partially surrounds 112 the delivery device. The cooling sleeve can cool or maintain the temperature of the 220 124 cold slurry through a number of mechanisms. The cold slurry can be delivered using a device in accordance with the present invention to any tissue inside the body, includ- 130 ing subcutaneous fat, visceral fat, and brown fat. 215 100
