Intended Use
The Bili-Tx is intended to treat hyperbilirubinemia through phototherapy in a home or hospital/institutional environment.
Device Description
The Bili-Tx is a phototherapy light that delivers a narrow band of high-intensity blue light emitting diodes (LEDs) to provide treatment for neonatal jaundice (hyperbilirubinemia). The blue LEDs emit light in the range of 400-550 nm (peak wavelength 450-470 nm). This range corresponds to the spectral absorption of light by bilirubin, and is thus considered effective for the degradation of bilirubin'. The blue LEDs used by the Bili-Tx do not emit significant energy in the ultraviolet (UV) region of the spectrum or infrared (IR) region of the spectrum, so there is no concern about UV or IR exposure and excessive warming of the neonate due to use of the device. The Bili-Tx has two different treatment options for providing phototherapy, which includes: phototherapy by fiber optic light panel that directly contacts the neonate's body and phototherapy by overhead light that is positioned over the neonate. The same Bili-Tx light source is used to provide phototherapy light for both options. In the fiber optic light panel treatment option, the Bili-Tx consists of the light source, fiber optic cable bundle used to transmit the light from the light source to the light panel, fiber optic light panel, and disposable fiber optic light panel cover. There are two styles of fiber optic light panels that may be used, which include a longer light panel that wraps around the neonate and a shorter light panel that the neonate's body rests on. The Bili-Tx uses the same fiber optic light panels, including the permanently attached fiber optic cable bundle, and disposable fiber optic light panel covers that were cleared with the Wallaby 3 in K991627. This treatment option does not require protective eyeshades to be worn by the neonate receiving phototherapy as the light panel is focused by the clinician/caregiver providing therapy. In the overhead light treatment option, the Bili-Tx consists of the light source and a standard intravenous (IV) pole and bracket used to support the light source over the neonate. The Bili-Tx light source used in the overhead light option is the same light source used in the fiber optic light panel option. As with all overhead phototherapy lights, protective eyeshades must be used to protect the neonate's eyes from excessive light exposure.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the hardware components and light delivery methods, with no mention of AI or ML for diagnosis, treatment planning, or monitoring.

Yes
The device is specifically designed to treat hyperbilirubinemia in neonates through phototherapy, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

The Bili-Tx is described as a phototherapy light intended to treat hyperbilirubinemia, not diagnose it.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as a light source, LEDs, fiber optic cables, light panels, and an IV pole and bracket. It is a physical medical device that utilizes light therapy.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use of the Bili-Tx is to treat hyperbilirubinemia through phototherapy. IVD devices are used to diagnose or monitor conditions by examining specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue).
  • Device Description: The device description clearly states that the Bili-Tx is a phototherapy light that delivers light to the neonate's body. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples.
  • Mechanism of Action: The device works by using light to degrade bilirubin in the body, which is a therapeutic action, not a diagnostic one.

Therefore, the Bili-Tx falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

In the fiber optic light panel treatment option, the Bili-Tx consists of the light source, fiber optic cable bundle used to transmit the light from the light source to the light panel, fiber optic light panel, and disposable fiber optic light panel cover. There are two styles of fiber optic light panels that may be used, which include a longer light panel that wraps around the neonate and a shorter light panel that the neonate's body rests on.

Phototherapy through Overhead Light

In the overhead light treatment option, the Bili-Tx consists of the light source and a standard intravenous (IV) pole and bracket used to support the light source over the neonate. The Bili-Tx light source used in the overhead light option is the same light source used in the fiber optic light panel option. As with all overhead phototherapy lights, protective eyeshades must be used to protect the neonate's eyes from excessive light exposure.

Dear Ms. Yurko:

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.
