No
The description focuses on mechanical components and temperature control based on ice and forced air, with no mention of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is indicated for hyper- or hypothermic patients or normothermic patients for whom induced hyper- or hypothermia or localized temperature therapy is clinically indicated, which constitutes a therapeutic purpose.
No
The device is a temperature management system used for warming or cooling patients. It does not perform any diagnostic functions like detecting, monitoring, or predicting medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components: a portable forced-air temperature management unit, a disposable forced-air blanket, and a disposable patient cooling set.
Based on the provided information, the Bair Hugger temperature management system is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is used for managing the temperature of patients (hyper- or hypothermic, or normothermic for induced therapy). This is a direct interaction with the patient's body for therapeutic purposes.
- Device Description: The description details a system that delivers air (warmed, room-temperature, or cooled) to a blanket placed on or around the patient. This is a physical intervention on the patient's body surface.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Bair Hugger system does not involve the analysis of any biological specimens.
Therefore, the Bair Hugger temperature management system is a therapeutic device used for patient temperature control, not an IVD.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Bair Hugger temperature management system is indicated for hyper- or hypothermic patients or normothermic patients for whom induced hyper- or hypothermia or localized temperature therapy is clinically indicated. In addition, the Bair Hugger temperature management system can be used to provide patient the comfort when conditions exist that may cause patients to become too warm or too cold.

Device Description
The Bair Hugger temperature management system consists of:
- · a portable forced-air temperature management unit (200, 500, or 700 series),
- · a disposable Bair Hugger forced-air blanket (various models), and
- · the Model 459 patient cooling set (new disposable component of the system).
The temperature management unit delivers warmed or room-temperature air directly to a Bair Hugger blanket via a flexible hose, or it delivers room-temperature air to the Model 459 patient cooling set, which, when filled with common ice, cools the air before delivering it to a Bair Hugger blanket. Depending on the blanket model used, the blanket is placed around, over, or underneath the patient. Small perforations in the patient-side of the blanket disperse the air over the patient.
The new disposable Model 459 patient cooling set consists of an ice receptacle (flexible plastic bag) with an attached flexible hose assembly. The patient cooling set also has a handle to allow hanging it on an IV pole or similar stand near the temperature management unit.
The ice receptacle has:
- · a hose port that accepts the hose of a Bair Hugger® temperature management unit,
- · a resealable opening for adding and retaining ice,
- · a valve for draining meltwater, and
- · an integral divider that directs the flow of room-temperature air from the temperature management unit through the ice, which cools the air to a temperature ranging between 3.5℃ and room temperature, as required.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Performance testing of the Model 459 patient cooling set was conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the component when used with the other Bair Hugger temperature management system components. The performance testing indicates that room-temperature air flowing from a temperature management unit through the ice-filled patient cooling set would be cooled to less than 10°C for about 1 hour. Ice may be added to the patient cooling set to prolong cooling therapy. A temperature management unit may also deliver ambient temperature air directly to a blanket for cooling therapy.
Because the modification to the device does not change any of the safety features of the device, testing was done only to determine the safety of temperatures delivered by the Model 459 patient cooling set, the new disposable component of the device.
The delivered temperatures are safe for two reasons: first, the temperature of air delivered to a Bair Hugger blanket is limited by the temperature and duration of the ice added to the Model 459 patient cooling set. Most ice in clinical settings is produced and stored in an icemaker at 0°C, and performance testing indicates that 15 pounds of ice will only deliver temperatures under 10°C for about an hour before the temperatures begin to rise. Second, tests show that if users add ice that has been stored below 0°C to the patient cooling set, the temperature of the delivered air might initially drop to close to 0°C, but it will quickly rise and stabilize between 5°C and 10°C, the standard temperature range for the device. The few minutes that a patient may be exposed to temperatures below 5°C are not harmful to the patient.

Substantial equivalence
The modified Bair Hugger® temperature management system (including the new Model 459 patient cooling set) is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in safety and effectiveness. The modified device has the same intended use and patient population as the predicate devices. The warming modes of the previously cleared device(s) are not affected by the modification so the comparison of the device to predicate devices focuses on the substantial equivalence of the cooling modes of the devices.
Substantial equivalence to the Bair Hugger Model 600 hyper/hypothermia unit
The modified Bair Hugger temperature management system and the Bair Hugger Model 600 hyper/hypothermia unit (first predicate device) use the same technology to deliver air to forced-air blankets. The only significant difference between the two devices is that. in the cooling mode, the modified Bair Hugger temperature management system uses an external, ice-filled component (Model 459 patient cooling set) to cool the air before delivering it to a Bair Hugger blanket, and the predicate device has a thermoelectric heat exchanger that cools air and delivers it directly to a Bair Hugger blanket. This difference has no negative effect on the safety and effectiveness of the modified device because the temperatures delivered to the patient are similar.
Substantial equivalence to the Tropi-Cool hyper/hypothermia unit
The only significant difference between the modified Bair Hugger temperature management system (modified device) and the Tropi-Cool hyper/hypothermia unit (second predicate device) is that, in the cooling mode, the modified device uses an external, ice-filled component (Model 459 patient cooling set) to cool air before delivering it to a Bair Hugger forced-air blanket. The predicate device has a thermoelectric heat exchanger that cools water and delivers it directly to a Temp-pad water pad. This difference has no negative effect on the safety and effectiveness of the modified device because the temperatures delivered to the patient are similar.
