Intended Use
The Infant Heel Warmer by Intco is a single use, non-toxic, non-sterile, disposable device. It is an instant warm pack intended to be used on an infant's heel to aid in the drawing of blood for analysis. The device is to be limited to use in hospitals, doctors' offices, and other healthcare facilities that administer health care services to newborns and infants. Prescription Use Only. The Indication for use of the Infant Heel Warmer by Intco is the same to the Rapid Aid Infant Heel Warmer, a legally marketed predicate device.
Device Description
- Classified by FDA's Physical Medicine Device Panel as Class I, 21 CFR 890.5710, Pack, Hot or Cold disposable, MPO, and meets all requirements of ISO 7176 and EN 1021. - The Infant Heel Warmer by Intco is a self contained unit comprised of a flexible, poly/nylon outer pouch containing: I) A flexible, perforated, polyethylene/polyester inner pouch that holds the liquid solution. II) Liquid solution of food grade sodium acetate and water contained in I). III) Minute crystals of sodium acetate. An adhesive tape is attached to the top of the unit. The unit is activated by squeezing firmly on the inner fluid pouch, this will cause the inner perforated pouch to activate. Rapid crystallization occurs when the liquid contents are exposed to the minute crystals of sodium acetate contained within the poly/nylon outer pouch. This exothermic reaction causes the unit to heat up to 102 degree F. The adhesive tape strip is used to hold the warmer in place on the infant's heel.

The device description details a simple chemical reaction for heat generation and does not mention any computational or data-driven processes.

No.
The device warms an infant's heel to aid in blood drawing, which is a diagnostic or procedural aid, not a treatment for a disease or condition.

No.

The device is an instant warm pack intended to be used on an infant's heel to aid in the drawing of blood for analysis, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, disposable unit containing chemicals and an adhesive, indicating it is a hardware device, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Intended Use: The Intco Infant Heel Warmer's intended use is to warm an infant's heel to aid in the drawing of blood. It does not perform any analysis or testing of the blood itself. Its function is purely physical – to increase blood flow to the heel.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical warming mechanism based on a chemical reaction. There is no mention of any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Classification: The device is classified as a "Pack, Hot or Cold disposable" under the Physical Medicine Device Panel. This classification is for devices that apply heat or cold to the body, not for diagnostic testing.

In summary, the Intco Infant Heel Warmer is a therapeutic or procedural aid, not a diagnostic device. It facilitates the collection of a sample that will be used for in vitro diagnostic testing, but it is not the IVD device itself.

Summary of Performance Studies

The Infant Heel Warmer by Intco was tested against predicate devices for temperature characteristics. They performed very similarly with temperature within the same range, reaching a maximum temperature around 105 F within the first minutes and then steadily decreasing in temperature. The data from testing demonstrates that the performance of the Infant Heel Warmer by Intco is very similar to and substantially equivalent to that of other commercially available Infant Heel Warmers.
