Device Description
The neoBLUE compact LED Phototherapy System utilizes a portable phototherapy light that delivers a narrow band of high-intensity blue light emitting diodes (LEDs) to provide treatment for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.
The neoBLUE compact LED Phototherapy System light consists of a lightweight plastic light enclosure which can be used independently by placing directly on top of an incubator, or with the arm, or with the arm and roll stand together. The arm can be attached to the pole mount accessory on most incubators and radiant warmers. The arm, when attached to the roll stand, can be used for infants in a bassinet, incubator, open bed, or radiant warmer.
The neoBLUE compact LED Phototherapy System light is equipped with a treatment timer to track the total number of treatment hours per patient, a device timer to track the total number of operating hours for the blue LEDs, and an exam light.

Substantial Equivalence Discussion

Discussion of Differences
Blue and White LEDs
Both predicates and the neoBLUE compact LED Phototherapy System use the same fundamental technology; blue light LED phototherapy for neonates. Blue LEDs emit light in the range of 400 – 550 nm (peak wavelength 450-470 nm). This range corresponds to the spectral absorption of
6
light by bilirubin. The secondary predicate, K083179 and the neoBLUE compact both contain white LEDs for use as an exam light.
Blue and white LEDs do not emit significant energy in the ultraviolet (UV) region of the spectrum, so there is no UV exposure to the infant; nor do they emit significant energy in the infrared (IR) region of the spectrum. minimizing concern about excessive warming of the infant
All three devices utilize LEDs as the light source. The MediLEDmini uses only blue LEDs during phototherapy treatment, whereas the MediLED and the neoBLUE compact LED Phototherapy System both use blue mixed with white LEDs. The design of the neoBLUE compact LED Phototherapy System incorporates the white LEDs to soften the visual impact of blue light, and for use as an optional exam light before or after phototherapy. As white LEDs also emit blue light, all blue light intensity is included in the total blue light intensity measurement. Therefore, the difference in the LEDs does not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness.
Intensity Settings
The neoBLUE compact LED Phototherapy System compact has two intensity settings, high and low. The predicate devices have one or three settings (high, medium and low). The difference in the intensity settings (1 versus 2 versus 3) does not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness.
Treatment Area
The treatment area for the neoBLUE compact LED Phototherapy System is between the range of the treatment area of the predicates, slightly larger than the MediLEDmini and slightly smaller than the MediLED: 660 cm² @ 40 cm height for the MediLEDmini; 700 cm² @ 35 cm height for the neoBLUE compact LED Phototherapy System; and 800 cm2 @ 40 cm height for the MediLED. This does not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness.
The differences between the predicate devices, K103735 and K083179, do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness.
Performance Testing
According to the device features, the testing for the following standards were considered required for the device:
- IEC 60601-1:2005/@2012 and A1:2012 Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1 General . Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance
- . IEC 60601-1-2: Edition 4.0 2014-02: Medical Electrical Equipment – Part 1-2: General Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance - Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic Disturbances – Requirements and Tests
- IEC 60601-2-50:2009; Medical Electrical Equipment Part 2-50: Particular Requirements for the . Basic Safety and Essential Performance of Infant Phototherapy Equipment
In addition to the compliance of voluntary standards, the following performance testing was necessary to make a substantially equivalent decision:
- . Software Verification

- Device power O
- Electrical safety O
- Indicators O
- O LED performance

The compliance to applicable standards as above mentioned indicates that the new device in this submission used the same standards as that of predicate device. The compliance with relevant standards in addition to the software validation, design verification and validation, hazard analysis and human factors validation is adequate for the determination of substantial equivalence.

Conclusions
The neoBLUE compact LED Phototherapy System has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as the cleared devices. Moreover, verification and validation tests contained in this submission demonstrate that the difference in the submitted models do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness as that of cleared device.
In the other words, those engineering differences do not: (1) affect the intended use or (2) alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device. Therefore, we conclude that the neoBLUE compact LED Phototherapy System is substantially equivalent to the MediLEDmini (K103735) and Medix MediLED (K083179).
