Intended Use
The INFU Box is indicated for the regulation of temperature of intravenous (IV) fluids bags prior to administration. The device is intended for bags with crystalloid fluids only. Intended users are health care professionals. The device is intended for use in clinical and field environments and is intended to be mounted in a ground based field operating vehicle, such as ambulance or military vehicle.
Device Story
INFU Box Type 0412A is an electronically regulated IV fluid warmer designed for clinical and field use (e.g., ambulances, military vehicles). It maintains the temperature of up to three 1000 ml IV crystalloid fluid bags. The device utilizes electronically controlled Peltier elements to create a temperature difference between internal and external airflow, using environmental air for regulation. Powered by a 12 V DC source, it features a digital display and integrated alarms for over-temperature conditions. Healthcare professionals operate the device to ensure fluids are at a controlled temperature prior to administration, potentially benefiting patients by preventing hypothermia during transport or field care. The device is designed for stationary mounting within vehicles.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included mechanical (vibration/shock per IEC 60068-2), ingress protection (IP20), climatic (IEC 60068-2-1/2/78), EMC (IEC 60601-1-2), and electrical safety (IEC 60601-1). Effectiveness testing confirmed the device reaches target temperature within +/- 2°C in 2-4 hours. Field user studies were conducted but not included as formal clinical data in the application.
Technological Characteristics
Electronically regulated IV fluid warmer using Peltier elements for temperature control. Powered by 12 V DC. Designed for mounting in ground-based vehicles. Meets IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and SS-EN 1789:2007 standards. IP20 rated. Features digital display and over-temperature alarms. Corrosion-free materials.
Indications for Use
Indicated for temperature regulation of crystalloid IV fluid bags prior to administration. Intended for use by healthcare professionals in clinical and field environments, including ground-based vehicles like ambulances or military vehicles.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An infusion pump is a device used in a health care facility to pump fluids into a patient in a controlled manner. The device may use a piston pump, a roller pump, or a peristaltic pump and may be powered electrically or mechanically. The device may also operate using a constant force to propel the fluid through a narrow tube which determines the flow rate. The device may include means to detect a fault condition, such as air in, or blockage of, the infusion line and to activate an alarm.

## Description of Device 5.7
The INFU box warmer device is electronically regulated to obtain and maintain a preset temperature. Electronically controlled Peltier elements are used to produce a temperature difference between an internal and external airflow. The device uses environmental air to regulate the temperature. It is designed to maintain three 1000 ml IV liquid bags. The main system is powered by a 12 V DC source.
The device meets the applicable requirements of IEC 60601-1-1, IEC 60601-1-2 and SS-EN 1789:2007.
### Comparison with Legally Marketed Predicate Devices 5.8
The INFU Box is similar to the predicate devices in that:
- The systems are intended for the warming of IV fluids prior to administration, and 1. intended users are designated to be healthcare professionals.
- 2. The systems use electronically temperature regulation for IV liquids, just as INFU Box.
- 3. The systems are intended for field and clinical applications.
- 4. The systems provides with alarms for over-temp.
The INFU Box differs from the predicate devices in that:
- 1. The Bair Hugger can also operate with blood products, and is an "in-line" warming system. The INFU Box is not intended to provide this feature.
- 2. INFU Box is intended to be mounted in a ground based vehicle or hospital/ nursing centre, why mechanical robustness and portability demands are different on this product.
{2}------------------------------------------------
To support information of substantial equivalence and to follow up risk management, a number of bench tests have been performed. These tests give evidence to the fact that the INFU Box device indeed is safe and effective in providing with a regulation of the temperature of IV fluid bags prior to administration.
#### 5.9 Conclusion
The INFU Box device is substantially equivalent to the identified legally marketed devices intended for use in warming IV bags containing crystalloid fluids bags, using conduction from an external electronic component.
The potential hazards have been studied and controlled as a part of the product development process, including risk analysis, test and design consideration, and planned verification and validation testing processes. The INFU Box is intended for use in clinical and field environments comparable to the predicate devices.
Based on a comparison of the performance characteristics and the results from the tests, it is concluded that the INFU Box is substantial equivalent to the predicate devices and therefore safe and effective for its intended use.
