Intended Use

The IncuWarmer is a mobile, caster mounted, neonatal device which is used to assist in maintaining an infant's skin temperature and thermal environment. The device accomplishes this through the use of radiant and convective heat. Accessories and options to the device permit environmental control and monitoring including phototherapy capability, scale, and humidification. It is intended for in-patient use in maternity nurseries, and neonatal care environments of hospitals or other healthcare facilities.

Device Description

The IncuWarmer is a warming device that combines the heating technologies of both incubators and radiant warmers into one product. The IncuWarmer provides thermal isolation primarily through a convective air system with canopies and side panels to form an enclosure that isolates the air surrounding the infant from the room air. The IncuWarmer offers access to the infant by allowing the cargiver to open port holes, side panels, canopies, and, if more access is needed, raising up of the over head arm. The over head arm is the upper half of the infant enclosure containing the canopies. The over head arm can be is raised to obtain full access to the infant. The over head arm contains two tubular stainless steel infrared heaters that provide supplementary heat when the canopies and side panels are closed and primary heat when the canopies are opened or the over head arm is raised.

In addition to providing thermal support, the IncuWarmer is capable of controlling options and accessories to aid the caregiver in rendering care to the infant. The IncuWarmer accessories are designed to operate with the IncuWarmer and consist of a humidification accessory, phototherapy accessory, and scale accessory for weighing the infant.

It is intended for in-patient use in maternity nurseries, and neonatal care environments of hospitals or other healthcare facilities.

Design and Construction:

Both the new and predicate device(s) utilize the same materials and methods of construction. They are fabricated from steel, aluminum, and plastic. The new device's most highly stressed areas utilize only steel and aluminum. Plastics are used in less stressed areas. Steel and aluminum components are welded or assembled with commercially available fasteners. Plastics used in less stressed areas are assembled with fasteners.

The new device electronics are controlled by a microprocessor as are the predicate devices except the Hill-Rom Stabilet- . The Stabilet- uses an analog control system. The differences in the control systems are transparent to the user.
