No
The device description and performance studies focus on a simple heating mechanism and its clinical impact, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
The device warms medical pads to facilitate venous access and phlebotomy procedures, which are supportive actions rather than direct therapeutic interventions.

No

The device's function is to warm medical pads, which aids in procedures like gaining venous access and phlebotomy by reducing attempts and time. It does not analyze patient data or provide diagnostic information about a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, portable, tabletop medical device with hardware components such as a heating unit, lid, compartments, and a membrane keypad. It is not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the EZ-IV Medical Pad Warming Unit is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to warm skin cleansing pads for use in gaining venous access and facilitating phlebotomy. This is a procedure performed on the patient's body, not on a sample taken from the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device warms pads used for skin preparation. It does not analyze biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body (such as blood, tissue, urine, etc.) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. The EZ-IV Medical Pad Warming Unit's function is to prepare the skin for a medical procedure, not to analyze a biological sample.

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

A clinical study was conducted during which alcohol pads were warmed to a temperature of 40° C before being used to facilitate intravenous access in pediatric patients. The results showed a statistically significant reduction in the number of venous access attempts (needle sticks) when warmed alcohol pads were used, compared with the use of non-warmed, room temperature alcohol pads. A second clinical evaluation showed a significant decrease in time required for venous access when warmed alcohol and povidone iodine pads were used compared to room temperature pads. A microbial analysis demonstrated that heated pads are equivalent to room temperature pads in their ability to reduce microbial load on the patient's skin.

General Device Information

Device Name:EZ-IV Medical Pad Warming Unit, Model 1000
Common Name:Powered Heating Unit
Classification:Class I - Product Code IRQ
21 CFR 890.5950
Predicate Device:Thermalator. Models T-4-S, T-8-S, etc
Description:The EZ-IV Medical Pad Warming Unit, is a compact, portable,
tabletop size medical device, used to warm factory sealed medical
prep pads (alcohol and povidone iodine), with a pre-set maximum
temperature of 55° C. A lid covers the unit to minimize any heat
loss from the medical pads. Inside the unit are four individual
compartments, in which the sealed pads are placed. Each
compartment has it's own, inner lid. The front of the device has a
membrane keypad to control the device function.
Intended Use:
(Indications)The EZ-IV Medical Pad Warming Unit is intended to warm alcohol
and povidone iodine skin cleansing pads for use in gaining venous
access during intravenous fluid and / or medication administration
and to facilitate phlebotomy procedures.
SE:The EZ-IV Medical Pad Warming Unit, is a medical device, and
Marda Medical, Inc. believes it falls within the same Federal
Regulation Number 21 CFR 890.5950, as the predicate device.
Marda Medical believes the EZ-IV Medical Pad Warming Unit has
the same technological characteristics, and is substantially
equivalent to the predicate device. It differs in that the Thermalator
warms it's contents with a water bath, while the EZ-IV Medical Pad
Warming Unit employs simple radiant heating.
Efficacy:A clinical study was conducted during which alcohol pads were
warmed to a temperature of 40° C before being used to facilitate
intravenous access in pediatric patients. The results showed a
statistically significant reduction in the number of venous access
attempts (needle sticks) when warmed alcohol pads were used,
compared with the use of non-warmed, room temperature alcohol
pads. A second clinical evaluation showed a significant decrease
in time required for venous access when warmed alcohol and
povidone iodine pads were used compared to room temperature
pads. A microbial analysis demonstrated that heated pads are
equivalent to room temperature pads in their ability to reduce
microbial load on the patient's skin.
Safety:Infrared spectrometer analyses showed the device does not affect
the chemical composition of the alcohol and betadine pads when
warmed at 58° C for 96 hours and 80° C for 24 hours. Additional
studies showed the device does not adversely affect the sterility of
the alcohol and povidone iodine pads when warmed at 58° C for
96 hours. Underwriters Laboratories certification shows there are
no electrical safety issues.
Conclusions:Marda Medical Inc. believes that the information provided
establishes that the EZ-IV Medical Pad Warming Unit performs a
similar function to that of other, legally marketed, devices, namely
the warming of patient contact materials to provide patient benefit.
The devices intended for distribution by Marda Medical have been
tested to assure compliance with requirements.
