Intended Use
The neoBLUE® LED Phototherapy System is indicated for the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia for neonates and infants in a hospital environment, and administered by trained, professional medical staff, on the order of a licensed medical practitioner. The light can be used with a bassinet, incubator, open bed, or radiant warmer.
Device Description
The neoBLUE® Phototherapy System consists of two products – the neoBLUE LED Phototherapy light source (light) and the neoBLUE LED Phototherapy roll stand. The neoBLUE LED Phototherapy System is a floor-standing, mobile phototherapy light that delivers a narrow band of high-intensity blue light emitting diodes (LEDs) to provide treatment for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. The light can be used independently of the roll stand, and can be placed directly on an incubator with a flattopped surface.
More Information

No
The summary describes a phototherapy device that uses LEDs to treat hyperbilirubinemia. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes
The device is indicated for the "treatment of hyperbilirubinemia for neonates and infants," which directly states its therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is indicated for the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia, not for the diagnosis of it.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a light source and a roll stand, which are hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the neoBLUE® LED Phototherapy System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The neoBLUE® LED Phototherapy System is a device that delivers light therapy to treat hyperbilirubinemia. It directly interacts with the patient's body (applying light) rather than analyzing samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for the "treatment of hyperbilirubinemia," which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test.

Therefore, the neoBLUE® LED Phototherapy System falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description

The neoBLUE® Phototherapy System consists of two products – the neoBLUE LED Phototherapy light source (light) and the neoBLUE LED Phototherapy roll stand.

The neoBLUE LED Phototherapy System is a floor-standing, mobile phototherapy light that delivers a narrow band of high-intensity blue light emitting diodes (LEDs) to provide treatment for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. The light can be used independently of the roll stand, and can be placed directly on an incubator with a flattopped surface.

Intended Use

The neoBLUE LED Phototherapy System is indicated for the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia for neonates and infants in a hospital environment, and administered by trained, professional medical staff, on the order of a licensed medical practitioner. The light can be used with a bassinet, incubator, open bed, or radiant warmer.

The indications for use of the predicate (K022196) reference the phototherapy system as emitting "blue light." The indications for use for the subject device (neoBLUE LED Phototherapy System) do not include this statement because the system emits blue and yellow light. Removal of this sentence does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.

Technological Characteristics

The neoBLUE light has intensity settings, high and low, which are factory callbrated to provide intensity of 35 µW/cm²/nm at the high setting and 15 µW/cm²/nm at the low setting at a distance of 12 inches (30.5 cm) from the light enclosure to the baby. The light output can also be adjusted to accommodate different distances.

Blue LEDs emit light in the range of 400 - 550 nm (peak wavelength 450-475 nm). This range corresponds to the spectral absorption of light by bilirubin, and is thus considered to be the most effective for the degradation of bilirubin. Blue LEDs do not emit significant energy in the ultraviolet (UV) region of the spectrum, reducing the potential risk of skin damage. In addition. blue LEDs do not emit significant energy in the infrared (IR) region of the spectrum, minimizing concern about excessive warming of the infant.

The blue LEDs in the device produce the same therapeutic output as in the predicate. Yellow LEDs were intermixed with the blue LEDs in the new device so that the light output visually appears less blue in color, the light source was separated from the roll stand for independent use, and a timer was added to record the cumulative number of working hours for the LED lights.

N/A

Nonclinical Tests

The neoBLUE LED Phototherapy System passed all testing and complies with the following referenced standards:

  • IEC 60601-2-50:2009-03 Edition 2; Medical Electrical Equipment Part 2-50: Particular . Requirements for the Basic Safety and Essential Performance of Infant Phototherapy Equipment
  • IEC 60601-1:2005/(R)2012 and C1:2009/(R)2012; Medical Electrical Equipment -Part 1: ● General Requirements for Basic Safety

  • IEC 60601-1-6:2013-10 Edition 3.1: Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1-6: General . Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance - Collateral Standard: Usability

In addition to compliance with the relevant standards, design verification and validation testing was performed to ensure that the neoBLUE LED Phototherapy System meets its performance specifications and demonstrates equivalence to the predicate device (K022196).

5

Conclusions

The performance verification/validation testing data and risk analysis documentation provided in this 510(k) support the conclusion that the neoBLUE LED Phototherapy system performs as intended and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

The neoBLUE LED Phototherapy System is substantially equivalent to the Natus Blue Light Phototherapy Unit cleared under K022196.
