For thermal regulation of a patient's temperature to prevent hypothermia and/or reduce cold discomfort during and after surgical procedures. It is intended for use by appropriately trained healthcare professionals in clinical environments.
Device Description
The Snuggle Warm® 4000 Convective Warming System, identified as a Thermal Regulation System by the FDA, consists of a Convective Warming Unit (temperature controller), a hose, and a single-use Convective Warming Blanket (including the underbody blankets). The Snuggle Warm® 4000 Convective Warming System's single-use disposable Convective Warming Blankets (including the underbody blankets) are placed in contact with the patient and attached to a warming unit via a hose with end temperature controls. The warming unit generates warm air that is distributed throughout the warming blanket to warm the patient during and after surgical procedures. It is intended for thermal regulating a patient's temperature to prevent hypothermia by a warm air heated blanket system to reduce cold discomfort during and after surgical procedures. The Pediatric and Large Pediatric Underbody Blankets are single-use Convective Warming Blankets that will be added to the existing Convective Warming Blanket family. The Pediatric and Large Pediatric Underbody Blankets are components of the Snuggle Warm 4000 Convective Warming System of which the indications for use remains the same.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on a standard convective warming system with temperature control and air distribution, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is used for thermal regulation of a patient's temperature to prevent hypothermia and reduce cold discomfort. These actions are therapeutic in nature as they treat or prevent a medical condition (hypothermia) or alleviate symptoms (cold discomfort).

No

Explanation: The device is a thermal regulation system designed to warm patients and prevent hypothermia, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components including a Convective Warming Unit (temperature controller), a hose, and single-use Convective Warming Blankets.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "thermal regulation of a patient's temperature to prevent hypothermia and/or reduce cold discomfort during and after surgical procedures." This is a therapeutic and supportive function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is a "Convective Warming System" that uses warm air to heat a blanket placed on the patient. This is a physical intervention, not a test performed on biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), diagnostic testing, or providing information for diagnosis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.
