More Information

No
The summary describes a patient warming blanket and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is intended to warm patients during surgery, which is a therapeutic action aimed at maintaining or improving patient health.

No
Explanation: The device is a patient warming system intended to warm patients during cardiac surgery. It does not diagnose any conditions or diseases.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Cardiac Blanket" constructed of materials, indicating a physical hardware component. The performance studies also refer to "air temperatures" and "Temperature Management Units," further confirming it is a hardware-based warming system.

Based on the provided information, the Bair Hugger® Model 630 Cardiac Blanket is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to warm adult patients during cardiac surgery. This is a therapeutic or supportive function performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on a patient warming system and a blanket used for that purpose.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the body, not to directly interact with or treat the body itself. The Bair Hugger blanket is a device that applies heat externally to the patient.

This 510(k) Summary of Safectiveness information is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of SMDA 1990 and 21 CFR 807.92. The device is a Class II device, System Thermal Regulating 74 DWG, Patient Warming System called the Bair Hugger® Total Temperature Management System® - Modification. The predicate device is the Bair Hugger Patient Warming System, Model 525 Blanket (K903360). The following summarizes safety issues related to skin surface warming devices and the measures to prevent these problems.

1. Summary of Safety:

  • Injuries to tissue: Cutaneous burns. Thermal injury is determined by a combination of temperature A. and time. Patients with ischemic limbs or extremely poor perfusion are especially susceptible to thermal injuries.
    Prevention: The Bair Hugger Series 500 and 600's Maximum Hear Outpur (setting III at 43°C) do not provide temperatures high enough to cause burns to tissue. Performance testing demonstrated that by the time the air leaves the Bair Hugger Temperature Management Units, flows through the hose and is circulated through the inflatable Blanket placed over the patient, temperatures have dropped from 43°C to 41°C. These temperatures are well within the range of safety.12

Overtemperature condition: Bair Hugger Temperature Management Units temperature-out-ofrange detection system is mechanical, using thermostats to detect over/under temperature conditions. The system triggers audible and visual alarms and shuts the blower's heating elements off when overtemperature conditions are detected.

Labeling: Labels affixed to each Bair Hugger Blanket next to the inlet port and packaged with each Bair Hugger Blanket read as follows:

"Contraindications: 1. Do not apply heat to lower extremities during aortic cross-clamping. Thermal injury to ischemic limbs may occur.

  1. Do not leave patients with poor perfusion unmonitored during prolonged warming therapy sessions."
  • B. Hyperthermia:
    Warming treatment continued past the point of the patient reaching normothermia may eventually produce hyperthermia.3

Prevention: Instructions packaged with each Bair Hugger Blanket instruct the user to "Monitor the patient's temperature at least every 10 to 20 minutes."

  • C. Systemic Complications:
  • Prevention: Patient core temperature is continually monitored by clinicians during anesthesia with a 1. device of their choice. The "Instructions for Use" packaged with each Bair Hugger Blanker states that patient temperature should be continually monitored with an appropriate device.

1

  • D. Other Safety Concerns:
  • Contamination. Airborne contamination from air blown intraoperatively across the surgical wound 1. may result in airborne contamination.

Prevention of airborne conramination: All Bair Hugger® Blankets designed for use in the operating room feature a tape barrier which prevent air from migrating toward the surgical sire. Additionally, air is filtered through a 0.2 micron filter. Two studies have concluded that the Bair Hugger 500 Series Units (that have the same air output specifications and the same filter density as the Model 600) do not increase the incidence of microbial or wound contamination.45

Summary of Effectiveness 2.

The Bair Hugger Model 630 Cardiac Blanket effectively provides hypothermia treatment when used as part of a system with Bair Hugger Temperature Management Units.

Performance data show that the Model 630 Cardiac Blanket delivers air temperatures in the warming mode within the same specifications as the Bair Hugger Model 525 Blankets, using the same Bair Hugger Temperature Management Units.

Conclusion

The Model 630 Cardiac Blanker is constructed of the same materials as the Model 525 Blanket and other blankets currently on the market. The intended use of the Model 630 Cardiac Blanket is identical to that of the Model 525 Blanket. Therefore, because of the similarities to the predicate device, Augustine Medical believes this Modification does not raise any new safety or effectiveness issues.
