Intended Use
Baby Pod is intended to convey a baby to or from a medical facility, between facilities or between departments within a single medical facility.
Device Description
Baby Pod is designed to convey a baby to or from a medical facility, between facilities or between departments within a single medical facility. Baby Pod consists of a lightweight carbon fiber outer shell, which is lined with a shock absorbent foam inner layer, and has transparent shields for viewing the baby. Baby Pod contains a patient positioning vacuum mattress, stretcher fixing straps to secure the device for transport, and safety straps to secure the baby inside the device during transport.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use focus solely on the physical structure and function of a transport device for babies. There is no mention of any computational analysis, data processing, or features that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
The device is a transport solution for babies, similar to a stretcher, and does not provide any treatment or therapeutic action. Its purpose is solely for conveyance.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a transport incubator or stretcher for conveying babies, not for diagnosing medical conditions. There is no mention of it analyzing any data or performing any diagnostic functions.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components such as a carbon fiber shell, foam lining, transparent shields, vacuum mattress, and straps, indicating it is a hardware device for transporting infants.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "convey a baby to or from a medical facility, between facilities or between departments within a single medical facility." This describes a device used for transportation and support, not for performing tests on samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to diagnose or monitor a medical condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical container designed for transporting a baby, focusing on features like the shell, lining, shields, mattress, and straps. It does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analysis of biological samples.
    • Detection or measurement of substances in the body.
    • Diagnostic or monitoring purposes based on sample analysis.

Therefore, the Baby Pod is a medical device used for patient transport, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

COMMON NAME:pediatric carrier- stretcher accessory

SUBSTANTIALLY EQUIVALENT TO: The Baby Pod is substantially equivalent to WEEVAC 6 Infant Evacuation Stretcher (K902521). The TransWarmer® warmer mattress, an accessory used with the Baby Pod, was previously cleared for market (K934631.) The Baby Pod has the same intended use and similar indications for use as the predicate device. The minor technological differences (materials of construction and configuration) are more contemporary than those of the WEEVAC 6, but are well characterized and materials in contact with the baby are biocompatible.

DESCRIPTION of the DEVICE: Baby Pod is designed to convey a baby to or from a medical facility, between facilities or between departments within a single medical facility. Baby Pod consists of a lightweight carbon fiber outer shell, which is lined with a shock absorbent foam inner layer, and has transparent shields for viewing the baby. Baby Pod contains a patient positioning vacuum mattress, stretcher fixing straps to secure the device for transport, and safety straps to secure the baby inside the device during transport.

INDICATIONS FOR USE:

Baby Pod is intended to convey a baby to or from a medical facility, between facilities or between departments within a single medical facility.

SUMMARY of TESTING:

Material components in contact with the baby have been evaluated in accordance with ISO-10993 recognized test methods and found to be biocompatible.

Dear Ms. Duncan:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
