Intended Use
The Baxter Sodium Acetate Infant Heel Warmer™ is a single-use, non-sterile device. It is a heat therapy pack intended to be used on an infant's heel in order to increase peripheral blood flow and oxygenation prior to blood sampling.
Device Description
The Baxter Sodium Acetate Infant Heel Warmer™ is comprised of a polyethylene/BON pouch enclosing the phase change chemical and the activator disk-like trigger. Upon pinching and flexing trigger also located within the pouch, aluminum oxide grit is released into the sodium acetate and water mixture thus initiating a chemical exothermic reaction. The hot pack immediately reaches a maximum temperature of 104 °F +/- 2.9 °F and gradually diminishes over time.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description details a chemical reaction for heat generation and does not mention any computational or learning components.

No
The device uses heat therapy to increase blood flow for blood sampling, which is a supportive action for a medical procedure rather than a direct therapeutic treatment for a condition or disease.

No
The device is a heat therapy pack used to increase blood flow for easier blood sampling, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (pouch, chemical mixture, activator disk) and a chemical reaction, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to increase peripheral blood flow and oxygenation prior to blood sampling. It is a physical therapy device used externally on the body.
  • Mechanism of Action: The device works by generating heat through a chemical reaction, which is a physical process applied to the skin. It does not analyze biological samples (like blood, urine, etc.) to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components and the exothermic reaction, not any components or processes related to analyzing biological specimens.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not perform such analysis.

Summary of Performance Studies

All materials used in the composition of this hot pack are evaluated through USP XXII/Sodium Acetate Solution and relevant tests identifed in ISO Standard 10993. The outer pouch material was subjected to Skin Sensitization (Guinea pig Maximization), Primary Skin Irritation, and cytotoxicity testing. The materials were subjected to the following physical tests: material tensile strength width/length, side and top seal tensile strength, peak temperature, time at peak temperature, temperature at five minutes. The active chemical mixture was subjected to Primary Skin Irritation testing. This mixture was found to be non-toxic, food grade and toxicologically acceptable for its intended usage. This product is in compliance with established standards, where applicable, and was deemed acceptable for its intended use.
