Intended Use
The Respironics Heel Snuggler infant heel warmer is intended for use whenever circulation needs to be stimulated in the infant heel in order for blood sampling to occur.
Device Description
The Heel Snuggler is a butterfly shaped packet that is filled with a non-toxic solution and a catalyst disk. Two straps with adhesive ends are attached to one side of the packet for securing the heel warmer to the infant's foot. Immediately following activation of the user rests the bottom of the infant's foot on the larger portion of the packet and holds the smaller portion of the packet to the ankle. The straps with adhesive tape on the end are then fitted across the infant's foot and ankle and secured to the opposite side of the packet. The adhesive portion of the strap is affixed to the packet only, not the infant's skin. This forms a boot shape around the infant's foot. The heel warmer are perforated, which enables the user to easily tear the straps and remove the heel warmer from the infant's foot after use. When the catalyst disk inside the packet is flexed by the catalyst reachs with the solution a ri initiates a chemical exothermic reaction, which produces warmth.

No
The device description details a simple chemical reaction for heat generation and does not mention any computational or data-driven processes indicative of AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section also explicitly states "Not Found".

No
The device is intended to stimulate circulation for blood sampling, which is a diagnostic procedure, not a therapeutic treatment for a medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device is a heel warmer intended to stimulate circulation for blood sampling, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical packet filled with a solution and catalyst disk, along with straps and adhesive, indicating it is a hardware device that produces warmth through a chemical reaction. There is no mention of software components.

Based on the provided information, the Respironics Heel Snuggler infant heel warmer is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to stimulate circulation in the infant heel for blood sampling. This is a physical intervention applied to the body to facilitate a procedure, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical packet that generates heat through a chemical reaction. It is applied externally to the infant's foot.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing a biological sample (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. The device's function is purely to warm the heel.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Heel Snuggler does not fit this description.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Design verification tests were performed on the Heel Snuggier as a result of the risk analysis and II :: product requirements. All tests were verified to meet the required acceptance criteria. Respironics has determined that the differences between the Heel Snuggler infant heel warmer and the predicate infant heel warmer have no impact on the safety and effectiveness of the Heel Snuggler and that al hazards were successfully mitigated.
