The "Transport Incubator 185A" is a neonatal transport incubator. The incubator circulates warmed air at an operator selected, controlled temperature into a transparent chamber containing an infant. The structural integrity and weight of the incubator makes it suitable for ground and air transport. Auxiliary equipment for airway management and vital signs monitoring are not standard equipment.. The system is to be operated by trained medical technical personnel. Intended use of the modified and predicate device (K850496A) are identical.

Dear Mr. Manning:
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.
