The summary describes the device's function as controlling temperature based on firmware and electronics, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for decision-making or control.
Yes
The device is intended for warming blood and fluids to prevent hypothermia, which is a therapeutic intervention aimed at treating or preventing a medical condition.
No
The device is a blood and fluid warmer, intended to warm blood and fluids prior to administration to a patient. It does not provide any diagnostic information.
No
The device description explicitly states that the device is comprised of a Base Unit and a sterile disposable cartridge, and the Base Unit contains both Firmware (software) and electronics (HW). This indicates the presence of significant hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to warm blood, blood products, and intravenous fluids prior to administration to a patient. This is a therapeutic or supportive function, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The device description details a system for heating fluids that are being delivered to a patient. It does not describe any components or processes for analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
- Lack of IVD Indicators: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions
- Using reagents or assays
The device's function is to modify the physical state (temperature) of fluids being administered to a patient, which falls under the category of medical devices used for treatment or support, not diagnosis.

Substantial Equivalence
The QiF Blood and Fluid Warmer device is substantially equivalent to the cleared Enginivity LLC enFlow IV Fluid Warmer. The QiF Blood and Fluid Warmer has the same intended uses and indications. The technological characteristics and principles of operation are substantially similar, both the QiF Blood and Fluid Warmer and the enFlow IV Fluid Warmers are composed of a warming reusable unit and a sterile, disposable, single patient use cartridge. The reusable warming unit of the subject and predicate devices controls the operation of the system and the outflow temperature of the infusate and contains software, hardware and the power source. The subject and predicate device use the same heating method, i.e., resistive heating. The disposable cartridge of both the subject and predicate devices contains a fluid path that serves as a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger of the subject and predicate devices contains metal that heat the blood, blood product or intravenous fluid by resistive heating method. The only main technological differences between the QIF device and its predicate are: the material composition of the heat exchanger fluid path, maximum output temperature, and presence of electrical and thermal insulation by shielding the QIF device Disposable Unit. These differences do not raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness and equivalent performance has been demonstrated by the hemolysis tests. Thus, the QiF Blood and Fluid Warmer is substantially equivalent. Detailed comparison between the predicate and the subject device is provided in the table below:
