This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the "Giraffe Incubator Carestation CS1" (K213553). The submission seeks to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, the "Giraffe Omnibed Carestation CS1" (K152814), specifically concerning modifications to porthole and wall latches.
Device Description:
The device, Giraffe OmniBed Carestation CS1, is a combination of an infant incubator and an infant radiant warmer. It provides a temperature-controlled environment for neonates. The modified device primarily features changes to the porthole latch design (from "press to open" to "turn to open") and the wall latches (addition of a secondary "catch" mechanism on the north side). The overall dimensions have also slightly increased in width from 66 cm to 68 cm.
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
The provided document defines acceptance criteria through compliance with voluntary standards and system performance metrics, and the reported device performance is that it meets these criteria.

- Results: The study "successfully completed a summative usability study," and "There were no findings from the summative usability testing that led to changes in wall latches, porthole latches, or on-product labeling. The latch modifications did not introduce any new risks or use-related issues."
Detailed Information for the Study:
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Test Set Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for each individual bench or reliability test. The tests were performed on the "modified wall and porthole latches," implying testing on the physical components of the device. For the Summative Usability Study, the sample size of users is not provided in this document.
- Data Provenance: The studies are laboratory and human factors evaluations conducted by the manufacturer (GE Healthcare). The data is presumably retrospective in nature, as it's part of the design verification and validation process for a modified existing product. Country of origin for the data is not specified but would be where GE Healthcare conducts its product testing.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- This information is not provided in the document. For bench/reliability tests, "experts" typically refers to test engineers and quality control personnel, whose qualifications are inherent to their roles in device manufacturing and verification. For the human factors study, the qualifications of the "users" involved are not detailed.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable in the context of engineering bench and reliability testing or human factors usability studies as described. These are objective tests against predefined specifications or assessments of user interaction, not expert consensus for diagnostic interpretation.
5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
- Not applicable. This is not an AI-assisted diagnostic device, and no MRMC study was conducted. The device is a neonatal incubator/warmer; the changes are mechanical (latches) and do not involve "human readers" or "AI assistance."
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable. This device is not an algorithm, and its performance involves direct physical interaction and function.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- Ground truth for the engineering tests was based on objective performance specifications derived from international standards (IEC 60601 series) and internal quality system requirements. For example, "Temp Control accuracy: ± 1.0ºC" is an objective metric.
- For the Human Factors Analysis, the ground truth was the observed user interaction and direct feedback regarding the usability and safety of the modified latches. The absence of findings that required design changes indicates that the user experience met safety and usability requirements.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This device does not use machine learning or AI models, so there is no "training set."
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable for the same reason as above.

5.1 Device Description:
The Giraffe OmniBed Carestation is a device that can function as an incubator (in the closed mode) or as an infant radiant warmer (in the open mode) based on the user's selection.
Incubators and warmers provide heat in a controlled manner to neonates who are unable to thermo-regulate based on their own physiology.
In the closed bed mode of operation, the bed functions as an incubator, maintaining the infant's temperature by circulating heated air within the enclosed bed compartment. Warm air is circulated through the closed patient 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 operated selected control temperature. Physical access to the patient is obtained through the side portholes or by opening one of the side doors.
In the open bed mode, this bed operates like a conventional open, radiantly heated infant bed. Radiant heat from an infrared heat source is focused onto the bed to warm the patient. The Giraffe OmniBed Carestation incorporates an optional weighing scale, Servo O2, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) & Shuttle, Mounting Accessories Rail and Shelves and Storage drawers.
5.2 Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device
The Porthole Latch design has been modified to change the latch action from "press to open" to "turn to open". The design of the latch mounting part was modified to accommodate the redesigned latch. There were no impacts to form, fit or function of the Porthole Door of Omnibed aside from the latch.
The design of the Wall Latches and latch receptacles on the North side of the device have been modified. A secondary "catch" was added to address the situation where users leave the door vertical/up with the primary latches not engaged. The receptacles and back plates used to secure the latches on the NE and NW side of the wall have also been modified to accommodate the changes to the wall latches. There were no impacts to form, fit or function of the wall of the Omnibed aside from the latches. See detailed comparison of the proposed device relative to the predicate device in the table below.

Animal Study
The Giraffe OmniBed Carestation CS1 did not require animal tests to support substantial equivalence.
Clinical Studies
The Giraffe OmniBed Carestation CS1 did not require clinical tests to support substantial equivalence.
Human Factors Analysis
The Giraffe OmniBed Carestation CS1 successfully completed a summative usability study of the modified wall and porthole latches and their instructions for use. There were no findings from the summative usability testing that led to changes in wall latches, porthole latches, or on-product labeling. The latch modifications did not introduce any new risks or use-related issues.
Conclusion:
The modifications associated with Giraffe Omnibed Carestation CS1 do not change the Indications for Use or intended use from the predicate, and represent equivalent technological characteristics, with no impact on energy type, operating principles, or primary control mechanisms.
Design verification, along with bench testing demonstrate the proposed Omnibed system is substantially equivalent and as safe and as effective as the legally marketed predicate device. Clinical data was not required to demonstrate substantial equivalence. GE Healthcare's quality system's design, verification, validation, and risk management processes did not identify any new hazards, unexpected results, or adverse effects stemming from the changes to the predicate. The modified system continues to meet all applicable IEC 60601-1 series of standards.
Based on development under GE Healthcare's quality system, the successful verification, engineering bench testing, and usability testing, GE Healthcare believes that the Giraffe Omnibed Carestation CS is substantially equivalent to the predicate device (K152814). The summary above demonstrates that there are no new questions of safety or effectiveness for the Giraffe OmniBed Carestation.
