The device is a patient warming system intended to prevent or treat hypothermia and provide warmth. It does not perform any diagnostic functions like detecting, identifying, or monitoring a disease or condition.
No
The device description explicitly details hardware components including a Controller, Warming Mattress, batteries, charging unit, and accessories. It also mentions testing related to hardware performance, electrical safety, and temperature control.
Based on the provided text, the VITAHEAT™ Patient Warming System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to prevent or treat hypothermia and provide warmth to patients. This is a therapeutic and supportive function applied directly to the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device is a patient warming system consisting of a mattress, controller, and accessories. It physically interacts with the patient to deliver heat.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or functions related to:
- Examining specimens derived from the human body (blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
- Providing information about a physiological state, health, disease, or congenital abnormality.
- Being used in vitro (outside of the living body).
IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to diagnose or monitor medical conditions. The VITAHEAT™ system directly applies heat to the patient's body for therapeutic purposes.

Device Description
The VITAHEAT™ Patient Warming System consists of a Controller, a reusable Warming Mattress, single use disposable covers and accessories. The Controller is powered by a rechargeable 18V lithium ion battery and a separate charging unit is provided with the device. Each System also includes a second rechargeable 18V lithium ion battery to allow for uninterrupted operation. Typical battery life is 3-5 hours maximum on a fully charged battery depending on the usage. Other accessories provided with the device include a non-heating Thigh Pad that may be used by the patient for thigh support while lying on the mattress and an extension cord to connect the Controller to the Warming Mattress. The specific mechanism of action/heating is detailed further in Section 12.3.
To operate the VITAHEAT™ Patient Warming System, the Controller is connected to the reusable Warming Mattress using the extension cord provided with the device. The Controller may be placed on hospital bed rail, stretcher rail or on patient bed. The reusable Warming Mattress is then placed into a pocket on a single use disposable sheet cover also provided with the device. The patient then lies on top of the covered Warming Mattress for safe warmth. After the patient is in position on the covered Warming Mattress, it is recommended that the VITAHEAT™ Thigh Pad be placed under the patient's thighs to provide thigh support.
The VITAHEAT™ Patient Warming System is designed to be controlled by either the patient or the clinician. The output temperature range of the device is 35°C - 38.5°C ± 1.5°C: temperatures are adjusted to depending on the power setting selected by the user. From the time the device is turned ON, it takes 8-10 minutes for the Warming Mattress to reach the maximum temperature of 38.5℃ ± 1.5℃ when the highest power setting is selected. When the 'LOWER' button is pressed, the desired temperature setpoint is lowered and correspondingly when the HIGHER button is pressed, the setpoint is raised gradually. A different set of LED lights on the Controller indicate the battery life. If the temperature of the Warming Mattress exceeds a maximum safety limit of 41ºC, an automatic system cutoff initiates and the Warming Mattress is discontinued and the unit becomes inoperable.
The VITAHEAT™ device contains a controllable thermal warming component comprised of a series of connected lines printed with conductive ink on a substrate.

Conclusion
The VITAHEAT™ device has the same indications for use, similar scientific fundamental technology, materials and packaging as the predicate device. The VITAHEAT™ device has very similar technological characteristics to the predicate and both have the same general shape, size and identical principles of use. Both devices contain a Patient Warming Mattress and a Temperature Controller that provides energy to the Warming Mattress and controls the heat it provides to the patient. Both devices are provided non-sterile and contain no components that are meant to be sterilized. Both devices have identical patient positioning and nearly identical device positioning requirements. Both have the same set of single use and re-usable components. Both devices have nearly identical patient contacting components and use a similar patient barrier, each of which has been tested for biocompatibility safety as per ISO 10993-1. Both devices have identical environmental conditions for storage, transportation and use.
Although there are certain differences between the VITAHEAT™ device and the predicate, these differences do not raise any new concerns in terms of safety and efficacy. For example, in terms of power source requirements, the predicate device requires an A/C mains power source whereas

the VITAHEAT™ device is battery operated, making the VITAHEAT™ device safer to operate in this aspect.
The data and information provided in this submission supports a substantial equivalence determination and, therefore, 510(k) premarket notification clearance of the VITAHEATTM system. The minor technological differences such as shape, size, and compatibility have been evaluated through multiple verification and validation activities as well as critical analyses. Results of these evaluations demonstrate that these differences do not affect the ability of the VITAHEAT™ to achieve the indications for use. The VITAHEAT™ system does not raise any new questions regarding safety or effectiveness of the device, compared to the predicate Hot Dog device and is therefore substantially equivalent.

Dear Mr. Job:
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. 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.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
