Intended Use
The Natus Warmette® Blanket Cabinet is designed to store and warm blankets and hospital linens; while, the Natus Warmette® Dual Cabinet is designed to store and warm blankets and hospital linens in one compartment and fluids (Irrigation and/or Injection) in the other compartment within the storage times and warming temperatures recommended by the manufacturers of those items.
Device Description
The Natus Warmette® Cabinets are made of stainless steel and are well insulated to reduce heat loss and noise. Cabinet doors are double glazed with safety glass. A pull out shelf inside the top of the cabinet contains the heating element, fan, thermostat and temperature sensor. The electronics are located on the outside top of the cabinet and the power cable is connected at the back of the electronic cabinet. Wheeled shelves and baskets run on mounted rails and automatically stop when they reach the full out position. The shelves and baskets can be removed for cleaning or repositioning. The Natus Warmette® Blanket Cabinet is factory-set to 130ºF (54ºC) with a temperature range of 95º - 176ºF (35º -80°C). For the Natus Warmette® Dual Cabinet, the blanket and linen compartment is factory-set to 130°F (54°C) with a temperature range of 95° - 1769F (35° - 80°C); while the fluid compartment is factory-set to 110°F (43°C) with a temperature range of 970 - 122°F (36° - 50°C). The Natus Warmette® Blanket Cabinet is designed to store and warm blankets and hospital linens; while the Natus Warmette® Dual Cabinet is designed to store and warm blankets and hospital linens in one compartment, and fluids (irrigation and/or injection) in the other compartment within the storage times and warming temperatures recommended by the manufacturers of those items. The cabinet and its contents are warmed by circulating warm air which is heated by a warming element. The hot air is circulated by a fan and distributed evenly through the outlets. The temperature is regulated by the temperature regulator T1 to the set temperature. Thermostat T2 functions as over temperature protection and will take over the temperature control in case the air temperature exceeds set maximum temperature by 90F (5°C). At the same time the red lamp on the front panel will be lit to indicate that there is a malfunction. Inside the heating element itself, there is an additional over temperature protection that is self-resetting. It will be activated in case the fan stops or goes too slow.
More Information

No
The description details a standard warming cabinet with basic temperature regulation and safety features, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
This device is designed to warm and store blankets, linens, and fluids; it does not directly treat or diagnose a medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device is designed to store and warm blankets, hospital linens, and medical fluids. Its function is purely for warming and storage, not for diagnosing any medical condition or
disease. It does not analyze patient data, receive biological samples, or provide any diagnostic output. Its purpose is to prepare items for patient use and does not involve any diagnostic or evaluative processes.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical hardware components such as stainless steel cabinets, heating elements, fans, thermostats, and temperature sensors. It is a physical warming cabinet, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to store and warm blankets, hospital linens, and fluids (irrigation and/or injection). This is a physical warming and storage function, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components and heating mechanism of a warming cabinet. There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any process for analyzing biological specimens.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analysis of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detection or measurement of analytes
    • Diagnostic interpretation of results
    • Use in the diagnosis, monitoring, or prognosis of a disease or condition

The device is clearly designed for warming and storing items used in a healthcare setting, which falls outside the scope of in vitro diagnostics.

Dear Mr. Galvin:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device we nave revioused jour we determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate for use stated in the enorsers) to 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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.
