The summary describes a standard infant incubator with temperature and oxygen control, and optional features like a weighing scale. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The control methods described are based on air or skin temperature compared to a set point, which is a traditional control system, not AI/ML.
Yes
The device is an infant incubator that provides controlled heat and oxygen to neonates who are unable to thermo-regulate on their own, which directly supports their physiological well-being.
No
The device is an infant incubator that provides thermal support and controlled oxygen. It does not perform any diagnostic functions like detecting, diagnosing, or monitoring a disease or condition.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like an enclosed infant bed, heating elements, side portholes, doors, and optional hardware like a weighing scale and UPS. While it mentions software testing (IEC 62304), the core functionality and description are centered around a physical incubator with integrated controls.
Based on the provided information, the Giraffe Incubator Carestation is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to provide thermal support and potentially controlled oxygen to neonates. This is a direct intervention on the patient's body, not a test performed on samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description details a physical enclosure for the infant, focusing on temperature control and access for care. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Indicators: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analysis of blood, urine, tissue, or other biological samples.
- Detection or measurement of analytes.
- Diagnostic purposes based on laboratory testing.
The Giraffe Incubator Carestation is a therapeutic device designed to support the physiological needs of infants.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Giraffe Incubator Carestation is an Infant Incubator. Incubators provide heat in a controlled manner to neonates who are unable to thermo-regulate based on their own physiology. They achieve this by providing an enclosed temperature controlled environment to the infant. This device may incorporate a Servo Controlled Oxygen Delivery System. This is indicated to provide a stable oxygen concentration within the infant compartment at the value set by the operator (21-65%).

Device Description
The Giraffe Incubator Carestation is an updated version of the cleared predicate Giraffe Incubator. The Giraffe Incubator Carestation is an enclosed infant bed, which provides thermal support for infants who are unable to provide for their own heat requirements. The device maintains the infant's temperature by circulating heated air within the closed bed compartment. The operator may select either the air or skin temperature control method. Depending on the control method selected, heat is regulated based on either the air temperature or the infant's skin temperature compared to the operator selected control temperature. Physical access to the patient is obtained through the side portholes or by opening one of the side doors. The Giraffe Incubator Carestation incorporates an optional weighing scale, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) & Shuttle, Mounting Accessories Rail and Shelves and Storage drawers.

| Device Description: | The Giraffe Incubator Carestation is an updated version of the cleared |
| predicate Giraffe Incubator. The Giraffe Incubator Carestation is an | |
| enclosed infant bed, which provides thermal support for infants who are | |
| unable to provide for their own heat requirements. The device maintains | |
| the infant's temperature by circulating heated air within the closed bed | |

| incorporates an optional weighing scale, Uninterruptible Power Supply | |
| (UPS) & Shuttle, Mounting Accessories Rail and Shelves and Storage | |
| drawers. | |
| Description of Device | |
| Modification | The proposed modification of the Giraffe Incubator is referred to as the |
| Giraffe Incubator Carestation. | |
| The Giraffe Incubator Carestation updates the graphical monochrome | |
| display user interface (UI) on the predicate to a digital touchscreen UI, | |
| with the required software changes to support the new format and | |
| layout. The main system control software was not changed; however the | |
| software for the UI was updated because of the UI format change. The | |
| modified Giraffe Incubator Carestation maintains the predicate Giraffe | |
| Incubator functionality, performance, and clinical workflows. The | |
| changes also include a modified device visual indicator light and the | |
| capability for Hands Free Alarm Silencing (HFAS). | |
| Other modifications being made for the Giraffe Incubator Carestation | |
| include upgrading the power supply from 75W to 120W to support the | |
| increased power requirements of the touchscreen and associated | |
| electronics. | |
| There is no change in the indications for use or intended use of the | |
| system. There are no changes to the patient contacting materials of the | |
| device, and they remain identical to the predicate. The changes made do | |
| not affect the function, performance, safety, or clinical use of the device. | |
| Indication for Use: | The Giraffe Incubator Carestation is an Infant Incubator. Incubators |
| provide heat in a controlled manner to neonates who are unable to | |
| thermo-regulate based on their own physiology. They achieve this by | |
| providing an enclosed temperature controlled environment to the infant. | |
| This device may incorporate a Servo Controlled Oxygen Delivery | |
| System. This is indicated to provide a stable oxygen concentration | |
| within the infant compartment at the value set by the operator (21-65%). | |
| Device Modification | |
| Technology: | The Giraffe Incubator Carestation employs the same fundamental |
| scientific technology as its predicate devices. | |
| The Giraffe Incubator Carestation replaces the Graphic Display of the | |
| current Giraffe Incubator (GINC) with a new design based on a Single | |
| Board Computer (SBC), color LCD, and touch screen. The Graphical | |
| User Interface (GUI) incorporates graphical elements that are | |
| compatible with current Giraffe functionality and workflow. The | |
| information displayed to the user and the device functionality/features | |
| are equivalent, with a different layout and touch screen functionality. | |
| The existing 75W power supply was replaced with a 120W part because | |
| the new interface have a higher power budget than the predicate unit's |
