Indications for Use
The Fisher & Paykel Healthcare PW810 is an Infrared Lamp, as per 21 CFR §890.5500. It emits energy at infrared frequencies to provide topical heating, and is used to provide thermal support for patients who have sustained or are susceptible to excessive or undesirable heat loss. This may include use in pre- and post-operative environments, operating rooms, intensive care units, burns units and emergency departments. Situations requiring frequent intervention or unobstructed access to a patient, and those where injury precludes surface contact, may indicate a radiant warming source should be used.
Device Story
PW810 Patient Warmer provides radiant heat via infrared heating element housed in parabolic reflector. Device includes controller unit, height-adjustable stainless steel pole, and five-arm base with casters. Input: skin temperature via double-thermistor sensor probe. Operation: controller automatically adjusts heater power based on metabolic/environmental conditions in Patient mode; maintains 25% power in Standby mode. Output: radiant heat; visual/audible alarms for temperature, equipment fault, power failure. Used in ORs, ICUs, burns units, emergency departments by clinicians. Benefits: maintains patient body temperature without requiring extensive surface contact; allows unobstructed access for frequent clinical intervention.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical verification studies conducted to assess warming performance. Results demonstrated the device's ability to progressively warm patients with reduced body temperature and maintain set temperatures accurately for stable conditions.
Technological Characteristics
Infrared lamp (21 CFR §890.5500). Components: rod infrared heating element, parabolic reflector, double-thermistor skin sensor. Construction: stainless steel tubing, five-arm base. Standards: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, UL 2601-1, IEC 60601-2-21 (infant radiant warmer performance requirements).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring external thermal support to maintain body temperature, including pre/post-operative patients, hypothermia recovery, and severe burns patients. Suitable for clinical environments where unobstructed patient access is required or surface contact is contraindicated.
Regulatory Classification

This summary of 510(k) safety and effectiveness information is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of 21 CFR \$807.92.
## (a)(1) - (a)(3) (refer to information above and concluding this summary)
## (a)(4) Description of the Device
The PW810 Patient Warmer consists of a heater assembly and controller unit, with mounting pole and base sections.
The heater assembly includes a single rod infrared heating element housed inside a parabolic reflector. An observation lamp is mounted at the back of the heater unit. The heater can be rotated to either side of the warmer, away from the patient. A metal grill on the underside of the heater prevents contact with the element.
The controller unit supports the heater assembly, and contains the device electronics, control panel and labels. The front panel contains the control buttons, temperature displays, main power switch and temperature sensor socket. Controls include operating mode and temperature selection, and lamp operation. LED displays include indicators for operating mode, alarms, lamp, and heater power, with 3-digit temperature displays. The main label is located on the controller rear panel. and the power socket is mounted in the underside.
A single pole mounting system supports the controller unit, with two sections of stainless steel tubing providing a height adjustment option. A height indication scale is etched into the pole sections to enable optimum heater-to-patient distance to be set. The lower pole section is mounted into a stabilizer weight attached to a five-arm base unit, with casters which include foot-operated brake levers.
Accessories for the patient warmer include the skin temperature sensor probe and an accessory hook for IV bags or other small items.

## 510(k) Summary continued - Fisher & Paykel PW810 Patient Warmer
In Patient mode, the PW810 provides stable control of skin temperature by automatically adjusting the heater power to compensate for varving metabolic and environmental conditions. In Standby mode, power is maintained at a constant level of 25% ready for use.
A double-thermistor sensor probe measures the patient's skin temperature, and audible and visual alarms alert the user to high or low temperature situations, equipment fault, power failure and periodic reminders to reassess the patient's clinical condition. Independent safety features are included to control maximum output and avoid thermal injury to the patient.
#### (a)(5) Statement of the Intended Use
The Fisher & Paykel Healthcare PW810 is an Infrared Lamp, as per 21 CFR §890.5500. It emits energy at infrared frequencies to provide topical heating, and is used to provide thermal support for patients who have sustained or are susceptible to excessive or undesirable heat loss.
This may include use in pre- and post-operative environments, operating rooms, intensive care units, burns units and emergency departments. Situations requiring frequent intervention or unobstructed access to a patient, and those where injury precludes surface contact, may indicate a radiant warming source should be used.
#### (a)(6) Technological Characteristics Summary
The technological characteristics of the PW810 Patient Warmer are equivalent to those of the IW910 predicate device. There are no changes to the design, materials, energy source, performance or other aspects of the device which affect substantial equivalence.
## (b)(1) Discussion of the Non-Clinical Tests
Testing for the PW810 has been carried out in the areas of mechanical, electrical and thermal safety, environmental conditions and electromagnetic compatibility. functional verification, temperature control, and irradiance distribution patterns. The device meets the requirements of the IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 standards, and the deviations relevant to the USA in UL 2601-1.
The device also meets applicable performance and safety requirements from the standard for Infant Radiant Warmers, IEC 60601-2-21, including temperature distribution and variance, accuracy of temperature control, and maximum irradiance levels for overall IR and near IR spectrum regions.
## (b)(2) Discussion of the Clinical Tests
Clinical verification studies demonstrated the ability of the warmers to progressively warm up patients with reduced body temperature, and the ability to control the set temperature accurately for a stable situation.

[510(k)] Number:
## PREMARKET NOTIFICATION 510(k) INDICATIONS FOR USE STATEMENT
The Fisher & Paykel Healthcare PW810 Patient Warmer is an Infrared Lamp (as per 89 ILY, 21 CFR §890.5500) containing an infrared heating element to be positioned above an operating table or similar patient bed, in order to maintain a patient's body temperature by means of controlled radiant heat.
The PW810 is intended to provide topical heating to patients in clinical situations where external thermal support is required or desirable. This may include during or following surgical procedures, hypothermia recovery, and severe burns patients.
Situations which necessitate unobstructed access to a patient may indicate the need for a radiant heat source, in preference to thermal regulation systems which rely on extensive surface contact with a patient. Minimal direct contact by a warming system may also be required for particular injuries to patients.
