Indications for Use
Infant radiant warmers provide infrared heat in a controlled manner to neonates who are unable to thermo-regulate based on their own physiology. Infant radiant warmers may be used to facilitate the neonate's transition to the external environment or to provide a controlled open environment. An optional integrated SpO2 monitoring feature may be used for continuous noninvasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate (measured by an SP02 sensor). An optional integrated resuscitation system may be used to provide the basic equipment required for pulmonary resuscitation of infants. Pulmonary resuscitation includes practices necessary to establish a clear airway and provide oxygen or ait/oxygen mixtures and/or manual ventilation to the infant. For professional use only, by trained clinicians.
Device Story
Infant radiant warmer provides infrared heat to neonates unable to thermo-regulate; maintains thermal balance via direct radiation. Input: operator-selected heater power or skin temperature setpoint. Operation: heater output modulated to maintain target skin temperature or regulated at fixed power level. Output: controlled thermal environment; optional integrated SpO2 monitoring (functional oxygen saturation/pulse rate) and optional resuscitation module (bag-and-mask or T-piece). Used in clinical settings (hospitals) by trained clinicians. Provides thermal support during surgery, ECMO, or resuscitation. Benefits: facilitates transition to external environment; provides open access for procedures while maintaining thermal stability.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical or animal testing performed. Conformance to performance specifications and recognized consensus standards established through bench testing.
Technological Characteristics
Radiant heating source (infrared spectrum). Control modes: manual heater power or servo-controlled skin temperature. Features: tilting bed, elevating base, data output. Optional modules: SpO2 monitoring, resuscitation (bag-and-mask or T-piece). Connectivity: remote monitor/nurse call system integration. Class II device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for neonates unable to thermo-regulate. Used for thermal support during transition to external environment, surgical procedures, ECMO, or resuscitation. Optional SpO2 monitoring for neonates. Optional resuscitation system for infants requiring airway management or manual ventilation. Professional use only.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
The infant radiant warmer is a device consisting of an infrared heating element intended to be placed over an infant to maintain the infant's body temperature by means of radiant heat. The device may also contain a temperature monitoring sensor, a heat output control mechanism, and an alarm system (infant temperature, manual mode if present, and failure alarms) to alert operators of a temperature condition over or under the set temperature, manual mode time limits, and device component failure, respectively. The device may be placed over a pediatric hospital bed or it may be built into the bed as a complete unit.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (Special Controls):(1) The Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) Voluntary Standard for the Infant Radiant Warmer; (2) A prescription statement in accordance with § 801.109 of this chapter (restricted to use by or upon the order of qualified practitioners as determined by the States); and (3) Labeling for use only in health care facilities and only by persons with specific training and experience in the use of the device.
