The Babyleo TN500 is intended for use with neonates and infants and can be used as both an incubator and a radiant warmer. When the product is switched between incubator and radiant warmer operation, patients continue to be kept warm during the transition. It enables the controlled warming of patients with a body weight of up to 10 kg (22 lbs). The device can be operated as either a closed care unit or an open care unit. As a closed care unit, Babyleo TN500 is an incubator. Neonates and infants are kept warm in the patient compartment with humidifiable air which can be enriched with oxygen (option). As an open care unit, Babyleo TN500 is a radiant warmer.
The Babyleo TN500 provides controlled ambient conditions for neonates and infants. The following parameters are regulated, according to the intended use:
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Oxygen (option)
Babyleo TN500 is a warming therapy device intended to provide controlled conditions in the microenvironment for neonates and infants. Such conditions are characterized by the physical properties temperature, humidity, and oxygen.
Intended to be a hybrid device, Babyleo TN500 can be operated as an incubator (according to IEC60601-2-19) or as a radiant warmer (according to IEC60601-2-21).
Babyleo TN500 provides three heat sources:
- the radiant warmer,
- the convective heater and
- the heated mattress (option).
The three heat sources are synchronized to keep the temperature stable. If the optional heated mattress is not present, the patient bed is formed by the SoftBed mattress.
The radiant warmer is mounted at the top of the main column. Thus, in radiant warmer operation, it enables the radiant heat to reach the patient bed where the infant is lying.
The patient compartment is bounded by the hood and lateral walls surrounding the patient bed. The hood is connected to the main column via the hood arm and can be opened manually. When closing the hood, the device switches automatically from radiant warmer to incubator operation.
In incubator operation the convective heater, which is located in the aggregate housing underneath the patient bed, provides warm air. Both, in radiant warmer and in incubator operation the optional heated mattress additionally warms the infant conductively.
Patient compartment, aggregate housing and main column are mounted on the trolley. By means of foot pedals located on each side of the device the user can control a lifting column and adjust the height of the patient compartment. Four double-wheel casters and handles allow to move the Babyleo TN500.
An optional rechargeable battery integrated into the trolley feeds the convective heater for a limited time in incubator operation when mains supply is not available. Thus, intrahospital transport of the device in incubator operation is enabled.
For routine care interventions in incubator operations the patient compartment provides hand ports which automatically open if the corresponding hand port locks are pushed down. For larger interventions the access panels can be opened by lifting them and folding them down. Furthermore, the patient compartment obtains hose grommets to conduct hoses or lines into the patient compartment.
An optional electronic scale is integrated into the Babyleo TN500 to weigh the patient. In the optional integrated drawer items needed for the patient care can be stored.
In incubator operation the air inside the patient compartment can be humidified and enriched with oxygen. For humidification distilled water is provided via the Luer Lock connector to the humidification system where it is evaporated and delivered into the breathing gas.
The optional oxygen regulation provides oxygen enrichment for the breathing gas. It can either be fed by the central gas supply or by oxygen cylinders.

Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA is submitting a traditional 510(k) premarket notification for a modification to an existing device, the Babyleo TN500 neonatal incubator, previously cleared under K182859. In support of substantial equivalence, the Babyleo TN500, cleared under K182859 has been identified as the predicate device for this premarket notification.
Page 6
Purpose of the premarket notification
The purpose of this traditional 510(k) premarket notification is to modify the Dräger Babyleo TN500 device. Dräger currently has market clearance for the device Babyleo TN500 via special 510(k) K182859 which serves as the predicate device in the present submission. The first clearance for Babyleo TN500 was K162821 (traditional 510(k)).
The following list outlines the technological characteristics that are the same or similar as those of the predicate device (K182859):
- Radiant warmer operation including:
- Manual mode
- Skin temperature regulation
- Incubator operation including:
- Humidification
- Oxygen supply (option)
- Air temperature regulation
- Skin temperature regulation
- Scale (option)
- Heated, x-ray transparent mattress (option)
- Height adjustment of the device
- Inclination of the mattress tray
- Optical and acoustical alarm system including power supply failure alarm
- Data exchange interfaces
The technological characteristic that differs from the predicate device (K182859) is the integrated battery (option) that supports intrahospital patient transport in incubator operation.
The software has been updated as well and the new software version 2.01.00 facilitates functionality for intrahospital patient transport with the battery. Additionally, the software version 2.01.00 contains enhancements of the control software, extended cybersecurity improvements, and a new processor board M48.
The change from processor board M16 in the predicate device to processor board M48 in the subject device was needed to enable the extended cybersecurity improvements. M48 comes with higher performance, it is operated with a cooling fan. The changed electrical interface of M48 caused an adaptation of the main board.
Another modification that is subject of this premarket notification is the biocompatibility relevant change of the bed support and the scale. The base material of the bed support
Page 7
and the scale is the same. In the predicate device, the patient bed parts, and the scale were lacquered. The lacquer is now omitted.

Substantial Equivalence Discussion
The subject Babyleo TN500 device has the same intended use as the unmodified predicate Babyleo TN500 (K182859) device. The differences in indications for use do not constitute a new intended use because both devices are a combination of an incubator and a radiant warmer (under regulations 21 CFR 880.5400 & 880.5130), both provide controlled ambient conditions, both are used for the same patient population. The predicate device had already been designed for treating patients of up to 10 kg as this weight limit is specified by the corresponding particular standards IEC 60601-2-19 (FDA recognition number 6-461) and IEC 60601-2-21 (FDA recognition number 6-463). The evidence of conformity with these consensus standards has been provided also in the original submission of predicate device. The 5 kg limit was only included in the intended use of the predicate device to be comparable to its own predicate, the incubator Caleo (K003067).
There were neither hardware nor software changes required on the device to enable the update of the body weight specification.
Change from "premature babies and neonates" to "neonates and infants": the patient population has been clarified. The terms "neonate" and "infant" for the proposed device have been defined in the indications for use more specifically to align with the identification of pediatric subgroups in FDA Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff: Premarket Assessment of Pediatric Medical Devices.
The following list outlines the technological characteristics that are the same or similar as those of the predicate device (K182859):
- Radiant warmer operation including:
- Manual mode
- Skin temperature regulation
- Kangaroo mode
- Incubator operation including:
- Humidification
- Oxygen supply (option)
- Air temperature regulation
- Skin temperature regulation
- Kangaroo mode
- Scale (option)
- Heated, x-ray transparent mattress (option)
- Height adjustment of the device
Page 26
- Inclination of the mattress tray
- Optical and acoustical alarm system including power supply failure alarm
- Data exchange interfaces
The technological characteristic that differs from the predicate device (K182859) is the integrated battery (option) that supports intrahospital patient transport in incubator operation.
Consequently, the software version 2.01.00, included in the subject device, facilitates functionality for intrahospital patient transport with the battery. Additionally, the software version 2.01.00 contains enhancements of the control software and extended cybersecurity improvements.
Another modification that is subject of this premarket notification is the biocompatibility relevant change of the bed support and the scale. The base material of the bed support and the scale is the same. In the predicate device, the patient bed parts, and the scale were lacquered. The lacquer is now omitted.
The results of the testing, with the comparison of the intended use, proposed indications for use, technology and features of the subject Babyleo TN500 device to the unmodified predicate Babyleo TN500 device (K182859), support a determination of substantial equivalence.
Discussion of Non-clinical Testing
The subject Babyleo TN500 was tested in accordance with applicable standards, guidance, and internal design requirements, including performance testing and functional/operation testing. The results of the non-clinical performance testing support substantial equivalence.
