Indications for Use
An instant warm pack intended to be used on an infant's heel to increase blood circulation to the area to aid in the drawing of blood for analysis. It is a single use, non-toxic, non-sterile, disposable warmer. The device is primarily used in hospitals, doctor's offices, and other healthcare facilities.
Device Story
Single-use, non-sterile, disposable instant warm pack; used in hospitals and clinics to increase blood circulation to infant heels for blood sampling. Device consists of biaxially oriented nylon/polyethylene pouch containing supersaturated sodium acetate solution (liquid version) or sodium acetate/water/hydroxyethylcellulose (gel version). Activation via flexing internal stainless steel disc initiates exothermic crystallization, generating heat (max peak 107°F). Adhesive tape secures device to infant heel. Healthcare providers apply device to patient; heat aids blood draw. Benefits include improved blood flow for easier sampling and reduced risk of thermal injury.
Clinical Evidence
No human clinical data. Bench testing included temperature profile comparisons against predicate (thermocouple measurements at 5-second intervals for 30 minutes) and shelf-life stability testing. Biocompatibility testing performed per AAMI/ANSI/ISO 10993-5:2003 and 10993-10:2010. Animal study (n=6 pigs) evaluated thermal insult and erythema; results showed no thermal injury and negligible erythema (scores 0-1).
Technological Characteristics
Pouch: Biaxially oriented nylon/polyethylene. Solution: Sodium acetate, water, hydroxyethylcellulose (gel version). Activation: Exothermic crystallization via stainless steel disc. Dimensions: 5" x 3.5". Attachment: Adhesive strap. Biocompatibility: AAMI/ANSI/ISO 10993-5:2003, 10993-10:2010. Non-sterile, single-use, disposable.
Indications for Use
Indicated for infants requiring increased blood circulation to the heel to facilitate blood collection for analysis.

Primary Predicate: Rapid Aid Instant Disposable Infant Heel Warmer - Disc (K150627) Additional Predicate: DeRoyal Industries Infant Heel Warmer (K954716)
### Device Description
The CooperSurgical Infant Heel Warmer, which is available in both a liquid version (The Infant Heel Warmer, Model 24401) and a gel version (WarmGel® Infant Heel Warmer, Model 20418), is a non-sterile, single-use, disposable device comprised of a biaxially oriented nylon (BON)/polyethylene outer pouch filled with a supersaturated solution of food grade sodium acetate and water (liquid version), or food grade sodium acetate, water, and hydroxyethylcellulose, a common thickener (gel version). An adhesive tape is attached to the pouch, which can hold the warmer in place if desired. The pouch also contains a stainless steel disc that, when flexed, initiates an exothermic crystallization of the sodium acetate, generating heat. When activated at 75° + 1° F, the maximum peak temperature of the CooperSurgical Infant Heel Warmer is 107° F, which is reached in approximately 40 seconds and then gradually decreases over time.

### Non-Clinical Performance Testing
Temperature profile testing was performed on the CooperSurgical Infant Heel Warmer and on the predicate DeRoyal Infant Heel Warmer, and the results of this testing were used to determine the substantial equivalence of the Infant Heel Warmer to the predicate. For each sample, a calibrated thermocouple was attached to the center, the device was activated to allow the exothermic reaction to begin, and temperature readings were taken at 5 second intervals for 30 minutes. The samples were activated at a temperature of 75° + 1° F. The temperature profiles were compared between the CooperSurgical Infant Heel Warmer and the predicate DeRoyal Infant Heel Warmer, and were found to be equivalent.
Stability testing was also performed on the CooperSurgical Infant Heel Warmer to confirm its shelf life. Biocompatibility was performed on the patient-contacting components of the device (outer pouch and adhesive tape) per AAMI/ANSI/ISO 10993-5:2003, and AAMI/ANSI/ISO 10993-10:2010.
An animal study was performed to determine the temperature of the skin after application of the device. The study consisted of three light-skinned and three dark-skinned pigs, aged 3 to 3.5 weeks. A WarmGel Infant Heel Warmer was placed on one side of the animal while the opposite side served as a control. Temperatures were measured using thermocouples adhered to the animal, one under the heel warmer and one on the control side, at 1-minute intervals for a total of 22 minutes. The animals were then graded against established criteria for both thermal insult and erythema. There was no evidence of thermal injury in any of the animals, and all but one animal received an erythema score of 0, with the one animal receiving a score of 1, which is barely perceptible.
## Conclusion
Based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, performance testing, and comparison to the predicates, the CooperSurgical Infant Heel Warmer has been shown to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices identified, and does not present any new issues of safety or effectiveness.
