Intended Use

The Natus Warmette® Blanket Cabinet is designed to store and warm blankets and hospital linens; while, the Natus Warmette® Dual Cabinet is designed to store and warm blankets and hospital linens in one compartment and fluids (Irrigation and/or Injection) in the other compartment within the storage times and warming temperatures recommended by the manufacturers of those items.

Device Description

The Natus Warmette® Cabinets are made of stainless steel and are well insulated to reduce heat loss and noise. Cabinet doors are double glazed with safety glass.

A pull out shelf inside the top of the cabinet contains the heating element, fan, thermostat and temperature sensor. The electronics are located on the outside top of the cabinet and the power cable is connected at the back of the electronic cabinet.

Wheeled shelves and baskets run on mounted rails and automatically stop when they reach the full out position. The shelves and baskets can be removed for cleaning or repositioning.

The Natus Warmette® Blanket Cabinet is factory-set to 130ºF (54ºC) with a temperature range of 95º - 176ºF (35º -80°C). For the Natus Warmette® Dual Cabinet, the blanket and linen compartment is factory-set to 130°F (54°C) with a temperature range of 95° - 1769F (35° - 80°C); while the fluid compartment is factory-set to 110°F (43°C) with a temperature range of 970 - 122°F (36° - 50°C).

The Natus Warmette® Blanket Cabinet is designed to store and warm blankets and hospital linens; while the Natus Warmette® Dual Cabinet is designed to store and warm blankets and hospital linens in one compartment, and fluids (irrigation and/or injection) in the other compartment within the storage times and warming temperatures recommended by the manufacturers of those items.

The cabinet and its contents are warmed by circulating warm air which is heated by a warming element. The hot air is circulated by a fan and distributed evenly through the outlets. The temperature is regulated by the temperature regulator T1 to the set temperature.

Thermostat T2 functions as over temperature protection and will take over the temperature control in case the air temperature exceeds set maximum temperature by 90F (5°C). At the same time the red lamp on the front panel will be lit to indicate that there is a malfunction. Inside the heating element itself, there is an additional over temperature protection that is self-resetting. It will be activated in case the fan stops or goes too slow.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the Natus Warmette® Blanket and Dual Cabinets, which are medical warming cabinets. The provided text is a 510(k) Premarket Notification summary. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Imperial Surgical Blanket and Solution Warming Cabinets) rather than presenting a study to prove the device meets acceptance criteria for an AI/ML context.

Therefore, most of the requested information regarding AI/ML device study parameters (e.g., sample sizes for test and training sets, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, ground truth establishment for AI, effect sizes, etc.) is not applicable to this document. This submission is for a physical medical device (warming cabinet), not a software or AI/ML device.

However, I can extract the closest information regarding "acceptance criteria" and "device performance" in the context of this product.


Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (for a physical warming cabinet, not an AI/ML device)

The "acceptance criteria" for this device are implicitly derived from its functional specifications and comparison to the predicate device. The "study" proving it meets these is a series of non-clinical tests.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Parameter / Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Acceptance Criteria (from text)Reported Device Performance (from text, indicating compliance)
Intended UseDesigned to store and warm blankets, hospital linens, irrigation fluids and/or injection fluids with recommended warming temperatures and storage time guidelines.Same (Explicitly stated in comparison table, indicating the Natus Warmette® meets this intended use). Specifically: "The Natus Warmette® Blanket Cabinet is designed to store and warm blankets and hospital linens; while the Natus Warmette® Dual Cabinet is designed to store and warm blankets and hospital linens in one compartment, and fluids (irrigation and/or injection) in the other compartment within the storage times and warming temperatures recommended by the manufacturers of those items."
Heating SystemConvection Electric heating element with circulating fan."The cabinet and its contents are warmed by circulating warm air which is heated by a warming element. The hot air is circulated by a fan and distributed evenly through outlets. The temperature is regulated by the temperature regulator T1 to the set temperature." (This matches the convection electric heating system).
Temperature ControlMaintains factory-set temperatures within specified ranges; over-temperature protection.Natus Warmette® Blanket Cabinet: Factory-set to 130ºF (54ºC) with a temperature range of 95º - 176ºF (35º -80°C). Natus Warmette® Dual Cabinet: Blanket/Linen compartment factory-set to 130°F (54°C) with a range of 95° - 176°F (35° - 80°C); Fluid compartment factory-set to 110°F (43°C) with a range of 97° - 122°F (36° - 50°C). Over-temperature protection: "Thermostat T2 functions as over temperature protection and will take over the temperature control in case the air temperature exceeds set maximum temperature by 9°F (5°C). At the same time the red lamp on the front panel will be lit to indicate that there is a malfunction. Inside the heating element itself, there is an additional over temperature protection that is self-resetting."
Electrical SafetyMust meet specified test requirements."Tests conducted on the cabinets consist of verification of the functional controls and calibration, electrical safety, and a physical inspection of each cabinet. Each cabinet must meet the specified test requirements per a formal, written test procedure." (Implies successful testing).
Functional Controls & CalibrationMust meet specified test requirements."Tests conducted on the cabinets consist of verification of the functional controls and calibration... Each cabinet must meet the specified test requirements per a formal, written test procedure." (Implies successful testing).
Physical InspectionMust meet specified test requirements."Tests conducted on the cabinets consist of... a physical inspection of each cabinet. Each cabinet must meet the specified test requirements per a formal, written test procedure." (Implies successful testing).
Material / ConstructionStainless steel interior/exterior (predicate)."Made of stainless steel and are well insulated to reduce heat loss and noise. Cabinet doors are double glazed with safety glass." Also: "Made of high quality stainless steel. Polyurethane foam insulation for minimal heat leakage and optimal sound insulation." (Comparable to predicate).
InstallationFree standing (predicate)."User manual specifies that cabinet is to be secured to the wall using the built in brackets at the top of the cabinet." (A difference noted, but not considered a disqualifier for substantial equivalence).

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

  • This is not an AI/ML device. The "test set" in this context refers to the manufacturing quality control and verification tests performed on the physical units.
  • The document states: "Each cabinet must meet the specified test requirements per a formal, written test procedure." This implies that every manufactured unit undergoes these tests as part of the quality assurance process.
  • Data Provenance: The tests are conducted internally by Natus Nicolet Ireland Limited, presumably at their manufacturing facility in Gort, County Galway, Ireland. The data would be specific to product verification and validation during manufacturing. It is retrospective in the sense that the results are documented after each unit is tested.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications:

  • This concept is not relevant to this type of device. The "ground truth" for a warming cabinet is its measurable physical performance (temperature, electrical safety, functional operation) against engineering specifications.
  • The individuals involved would be qualified engineers, technicians, and quality assurance personnel responsible for manufacturing and testing medical devices, adhering to established procedures and standards (e.g., ISO 13485 for medical devices).

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

  • Not applicable in the AI/ML sense. "Adjudication" here would simply be a pass/fail determination based on whether the measured performance during testing meets the defined specifications. Any discrepancies would lead to re-work, re-test, or rejection, not an expert consensus process.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done:

  • No. This is entirely irrelevant for a warming cabinet. MRMC studies are used for evaluating the performance of diagnostic imaging aids where human interpretation is involved.

6. If a Standalone (algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

  • Not Applicable. There is no algorithm in the AI/ML sense. The device's operation is purely electro-mechanical with basic electronic controls for temperature regulation.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

  • The "ground truth" (or objective performance benchmark) for this device is based on engineering specifications and established test procedures that verify the physical and functional characteristics, such as:
    • Direct temperature measurements (e.g., using calibrated thermometers).
    • Electrical safety measurements (e.g., leakage current, grounding integrity).
    • Functional checks (e.g., fan operation, lamp indicators, control panel response).
    • Comparison to the performance and characteristics of the predicate device (as shown in the comparison table).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

  • Not Applicable. This is not an AI/ML device. There is no "training set."

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

  • Not Applicable. There is no "training set" or "ground truth" in the AI/ML context. The device's design and manufacturing rely on established engineering principles, material science, and quality control processes for physical products.
