Intended Use
The Fisher & Paykel Healthcare IW980 Servo-Control Wall-Mount Infant Warmer and IW990 Manual-Control Wall-Mount Infant Warmer are infant radiant warmers (as per 80 FMT, CFR §880.5130) containing an infrared heating element intended to be mounted over an infant in a pediatric hospital bed, to maintain the infant's body temperature by means of controlled radiant heat. The IW980 and IW990 are designed to provide warmth to bables in the first few weeks of life; when an infant's self-thermoregulation capacity may be reduced, or if external thermal support is required or desirable. This may include new-born babies in delivery room applications, including premature / low birth-weight infants, and support of critically ill babies in neonatal intensive care units (NICU's) or special care baby units (SCBU's). Situations which necessitate unobstructed access to an infant, including during resuscitation or surgical procedures, may indicate the need for a radiant heat source instead of equivalent support devices such as infant incubators.
Device Description
The Fisher & Paykel Healthcare IW980 Servo-Control and IW990 Manual-Control Wall-Mount Infant Warmers consist of heater assembly and controller unit sections, with wall mounting hardware components. The heater assembly includes a single rod infrared heating element housed inside a parabolic reflector. An observation lamp is mounted at the back of the heater unit. The thermoplastic enclosure is of similar cross-sectional shape to the reflector and is approx. 125mm high × 197mm wide × 625mm deep. It can be rotated to either side of the warmer, clear of the infant bed. A metal grill on the underside of the heater assembly prevents contact with the element. The heater assembly is mounted on top of the controller unit. The transformer and Power PCB are mounted to the aluminum extrusion back section. The Control PCB is mounted on the inside of the thermoplastic front panel. This panel contains the control buttons, displays, main power switch and temperature sensor socket. Controls consist of buttons to select operating modes, timer functions and lamp operation. A control knob selects temperature or power level. LED displays include indicators for operating mode, alarms, timer, lamp and heater power, and 3-digit displays for temperature and timer readings. The main label is located on the controller unit rear panel, with a duplicate copy of label instructions provided. The power inlet socket is mounted in the underside, and dimensions of the controller are approx. 329mm high × 193mm wide × 104mm deep. The controller section is supported by a dual 30mm channel bracket mounting system, attached via a mounting frame to a wall. The channel brackets enable the entire warmer unit to be lifted clear of the mounting hardware for purposes of cleaning, maintenance, or moving the unit to an alternate mounting position. In Baby mode, the IW980 provides stable control of the baby's skin temperature by automatically adjusting the heater power to compensate for varying metabolic and environmental conditions. In Manual mode, both the IW980 and IW990 provide useradjustable heater power. In Prewarm mode, the IW980 and IW990 maintain power at a constant level of 25% ready for use. A double thermistor sensor probe measures the baby's skin temperature, and audible and visual alarms alert the user to high or low temperature situations, equipment fault, power failure and periodic reminders to reassess the baby's clinical condition, depending on the control mode being used. Various independent safety features are included to control maximum output and avoid thermal injury to the infant.

The description focuses on standard servo-control and manual control mechanisms based on temperature readings, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for decision-making or control.

Yes
The device is described as "infant radiant warmers" intended to "maintain the infant's body temperature by means of controlled radiant heat" and to "provide warmth to babies...when an infant's self-thermoregulation capacity may be reduced, or if external thermal support is required or desirable," which directly indicates a therapeutic function.

No
The device is an infant warmer, intended to maintain body temperature through controlled radiant heat. Its primary function is therapeutic, not diagnostic. While it monitors temperature, this monitoring is for the purpose of controlling heat delivery, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a heater assembly, controller unit, heating element, reflector, observation lamp, PCBs, control buttons, displays, power switch, temperature sensor socket, and mounting hardware. This is not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, the Fisher & Paykel Healthcare IW980 and IW990 Infant Warmers are not IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) devices.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that these warmers are used to provide radiant heat directly to an infant's body to maintain their temperature. They do not involve the analysis of biological samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
  • The device description focuses on physical components and functions related to heating and temperature control. There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any components typically associated with in vitro diagnostic testing.
  • The performance studies described relate to temperature control, irradiance, and clinical warming of infants. These are not studies related to the accuracy or performance of diagnostic tests.

Therefore, these infant warmers fall under the category of therapeutic or life support medical devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

510(k) Summary continued - Fisher & Paykel IW980 and IW990 Infant Warmers

In Baby mode, the IW980 provides stable control of the baby's skin temperature by automatically adjusting the heater power to compensate for varying metabolic and environmental conditions. In Manual mode, both the IW980 and IW990 provide useradjustable heater power. In Prewarm mode, the IW980 and IW990 maintain power at a constant level of 25% ready for use.

A double thermistor sensor probe measures the baby's skin temperature, and audible and visual alarms alert the user to high or low temperature situations, equipment fault, power failure and periodic reminders to reassess the baby's clinical condition, depending on the control mode being used. Various independent safety features are included to control maximum output and avoid thermal injury to the infant.

The intended use of Infant Radiant Warmers is to provide thermal support for newborn babies in the first few weeks of life. This may include in the delivery room in the period immediately after birth, and in the neonatal intensive care unit for critically ill babies which may require frequent intervention from hospital personnel.

New-born babies (including low birth-weight or premature infants) and critically ill babies may have a reduced self-thermoregulation capacity. Body heat can be lost through the mechanisms of conduction, convection, radiation and evaporation. Low quantities of internal energy and insulating fat, and a high surface area-to-mass ratio can also be contributing factors. In these cases, or when thermal support is required or desirable, radiant heat may be provided to prevent the various clinical consequences of excessive heat loss.

Infant Radiant Warmers contain an infrared heating element intended to be placed over an infant in a pediatric hospital bed, to maintain an infant's body temperature by means of controlled radiant heat. Heat energy is absorbed through an infant's skin. increasing local blood flow which transfers heat to the rest of the body by blood convection and tissue conduction.

Situations which necessitate unobstructed access to an infant, including during resuscitation or surgical procedures, may indicate the need for a radiant heat source instead of equivalent support devices such as infant incubators.

The object of providing controlled radiant heat is to stabilize the infant's temperature at the level where metabolic rate is at a minimum. At this state the infant's internal energy sources are used primarily for growth and healing, and not trying to keep warm or cool.

The technological characteristics of the W980 and IW990 Wall-Mount Infant Warmers are equivalent to those of the predicate device.

The wall-mount configuration, location of heater and controller sections, and capacity to swing aside the heater section are equivalent. Both feature a single-bar radiant heating element with a parabolic metal reflector design. Heater output is requlated by microprocessor-controlled circuitry. The modes of operation, alarm configurations and user controls are very similar between the devices. Both devices use selfmonitoring software and hardware options to ensure device faults are detected and do not result in hazardous states. The power used and irradiance levels achieved on a mattress surface by the two devices are very similar in quantity.

510(k) Summary continued - Fisher & Paykel IW980 and IW990 Infant Warmers

Improvements in safety and effectiveness include the use of a dual-thermistor skin temperature sensor, the comparison of readings from which allows the equipment to detect any variation in the sensor performance, and ensure accurate temperature measurement. The temperature controlling system and software used to regulate this allow for very accurate and stable control of an infant's skin temperature, hence providing optimal environmental clinical conditions.

Performance testing for the IW980 and IW990 has been carried out in the areas of functional verification, temperature control, irradiance distribution patterns and clinical verifications.

This testing demonstrates the safety, uniform distribution, accuracy and absolute accuracy of temperatures achieved on an infant bed, and the qualitative nature of the irradiance distribution pattern on the mattress, including irradiance in specific regions of the infra-red spectrum. Clinical verification studies demonstrate the ability of the warmers to warm up babies to a stable desired set temperature level accurately in a short period of time, and the ability to control the set temperature very accurately for a stable situation. The proposed devices meet specific aspects of performance required by the standard for Infant Radiant Warmers, IEC 601-2-21, including:

  • temperatures achieved on the mattress surface for different materials.
  • temperature distribution and variance across the mattress surface.
  • accuracy of temperature control in the servo-controlled mode.
  • absolute accuracy of temperature measurement against an external comparison.
  • maximum irradiance levels for overall IR and near IR spectrum regions.

The product testing carried out for the IW980 and IW990 Wall-Mount Infant Warmers indicate that they meet their design and performance functional requirements. Clinical verification studies demonstrate the successful use of the warmers and their ability to provide accurate and stable warming of infants. The proposed devices also meet the requirements of the international standard for Infant Radiant Warmers, IEC 601-2-21.
