The Giraffe OmniBed Carestation is a combination of an infant incubator and an infant warmer. The device can be operated as an incubator or as a warmer and can transition from one mode to the other on user's demand. It cannot be operated in both modes at the same time. Incubators and warmers provide heat in a controlled manner to neonates who are unable to thermo-regulate based on their own physiology. Incubators provide an enclosed, temperature-controlled environment and warmers provide infrared heat in an open environment. They may also be used for short periods of time to facilitate the neonate's transition from the uterus to the external environment. This device may incorporate a Servo Controlled Oxygen Delivery System. This is indicated to provide stable oxygen concentration within the infant compartment at the value set by the operator (21-65%).

The Giraffe OmniBed Carestation is an updated version of the cleared predicate Giraffe OmniBed. The Giraffe OmniBed Carestation is a combination device that can function as an incubator (with the canopy closed) or as an infant radiant warmer (with the canopy open) 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. With the canopy closed, the bed functions as an incubator, maintaining the infant's temperature by circulating heated air within the enclosed bed 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. With the canopy opened, 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, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) & Shuttle, Mounting Accessories Rail and Shelves and Storage drawers. The proposed modification of the Giraffe OmniBed is referred to as the Giraffe OmniBed Carestation. The Giraffe OmniBed Carestation updates the graphical monochrome display user interface (UI) on the predicate to a digital touchscreen UI, with the required software changes to support the new format and layout. The main system control software was not changed; however the software for the UI was updated because of the UI format change. The modified Giraffe OmniBed Carestation maintains the predicate Giraffe OmniBed functionality, performance, and clinical workflows. The changes also include a modified device visual indicator light and the capability for Hands Free Alarm Silencing (HFAS). Other modifications being made for the Giraffe OmniBed Carestation include upgrading the power supply from 75W to 120W to support the increased power requirements of the touchscreen and associated electronics. There is no change in the indications for use or intended use of the system. There are no changes to the patient contacting materials of the device, and they remain identical to the predicate. The changes made do not affect the function, performance, safety, or clinical use of the device.
