or may require external heat to ease the transition from the mother's womb to the external environment.
The device is intended to be used in a Labor & Delivery environment for warming the infants immediately after birth, or in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for providing premature infants long duration thermoregulation therapy, or in newborn care areas, for providing external heat to low-birth weight infants, and for cases where clinical indications require short/long duration warming therapy.
The device allows access to the infants for various procedures, tilting of the mattress, weighing the infant and x-ray diagnostics. The device provides three modes of warming: Manual, Skin, and Standby mode for varying care requirements. Also, allows attaching optional accessories on the rail for therapy and monitoring of the infant.
#### Substantial Equivalence:
The NuBorne Infant Warmer described in this submission is, in our opinion, substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, in regards to intended use and safety and effectiveness.
The intended use of the NuBorne Infant Warmer is equivalent to the intended use of the primary predicate k121625. The differences in the indications for use between the predicate devices (k121625 and k162821) and the subject device do not constitute a new intended use. The NuBorne Warmer does not incorporate any incubator indications or functions that are referenced in the supplemental predicate (k162821) – the comparison to the Babyleo predicate is soley based on the infant warmer functionality and indications related to the incubator function are not considered in the substantial equivalence determination.
The Lullaby Warmer (k121625) is identified as the primary predicate because it has comparable indications, functionality and features. The Babyleo (k162821) is identified as a supplemental predicate because it has comparable indications and a comparable standby mode. The differences in technological features between the NuBorne Warmer and Babyleo do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
