Intended Use
The OmniBed is a combination of an infant incubator ("incubator") and an infant radiant warmer ("warmer"). Incubators and warmers provide heat in a controlled manner to neonates who are unable to thermoregulate based on their own physiology. Incubators provide an enclosed, temperature controlled environment and warmers provide infrared heat in an open environment. They may also be used for short periods of time to facilitate the neonate's transition from the uterus to the external environment. Most incubators and warmers can be used in two operating modes: 1. Air Control: The clinician sets the appropriate air temperature (in an incubator) or the appropriate heat output (in a warmer) for maintaining the desired patient temperature. These parameters are initially selected based on the clinician's training and experience, and then are adjusted based on the patients' needs and clinical status. 2. Patient Control: The clinician sets the desired patient temperature probe senses the patient temperature and feeds this information to the controller of the incubator. The controller then adjusts the heater output to maintain the patient temperature at the set value. These adjustments to the heater output are made in such a way to gradually change the patient's temperature while minimizing overshooting and patient stress. Incubators and warmers have alarms to alert clinicians when certain patient or equipment conditions occur, such as a malfunction, or an excessive departure of the patient's temperature from the set value. Incubators and warmers may incorporate other features such as tilting of the bed, oxygen supply, and data output to remote monitors or nurse call systems. Incubators may provide humidification of the enclosed infant environment. The device can be operated as conventional incubator or as a conventional infant radiant warmer, but both modes of operation cannot be active at the same time.
Device Story
OmniBed combines infant incubator and radiant warmer; provides thermal support for neonates unable to thermoregulate. Inputs: clinician-set air/skin temperature targets; patient skin temperature probe data. Operation: enclosed mode circulates heated air; open mode uses infrared heat source. Mode switching via foot/hand switch triggers automatic canopy movement. Output: controlled thermal environment; alarms for malfunctions or temperature deviations; data output to remote monitors/nurse call systems. Used in clinical settings by healthcare providers. Benefits: maintains patient temperature; minimizes overshooting/stress; facilitates transition from uterus to external environment.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical or animal testing performed. Safety and effectiveness demonstrated via extensive bench testing and software validation in accordance with 21 CFR 820, Subpart C.
Technological Characteristics
Combination infant incubator and radiant warmer. Features: infrared heat source, air circulation system, skin temperature probes, motorized canopy for mode switching, humidification, oxygen supply, and alarm systems. Connectivity: data output to remote monitors/nurse call systems. Not intended for sterilization.
Indications for Use
Indicated for neonates unable to thermoregulate; provides controlled thermal support via enclosed incubator or open radiant warmer; facilitates transition from uterus to external environment.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A neonatal incubator is a device consisting of a rigid boxlike enclosure in which an infant may be kept in a controlled environment for medical care. The device may include an AC-powered heater, a fan to circulate the warmed air, a container for water to add humidity, a control valve through which oxygen may be added, and access ports for nursing care.

#### Product Description
The Ohmeda Medical OmniBed is an infant bed which provides thermal support for infants who are unable to provide for their own heat requirements. This bed has two modes of operation, enclosed bed operation and open bed operation.
In the enclosed bed mode of operation, the bed functions as an incubator, maintaining the infant's temperature by circulating heated air within the enclosed bed compartment. The operator may select either the air or skin temperature control method. Depending on the control method selected, heat is regulated based on either the air temperature or the infant's skin temperature compared to the operator selected control temperature. Physical access to the patient is obtained through the side portholes or by opening one of the side doors. In the enclosed bed mode, humidity and oxygen may also be increased.
In the open bed mode, this bed operates like a convention open radiantly heated infant from an infrared heat source is focused on to the bed to warm the patient. The operator may select either the heater power or skin temperature control method. Depending on the control method selected, the heater is either regulated at the operator selected power level or the heater output is modulated to maintain the patient's temperature at the value selected by the operator.
This bed can be changed from either mode to the other by the activation of a foot or hand operated switch. The hood canopy will automatically open or close creating either an open or enclosed bed respectively. It should be noted that the device can be operated as conventional incubator or as a conventional infant radiant warmer, but both modes of operation cannot be active at the same time.
#### Assessment of Technological Characteristics
The technological characteristics of the OmniBed are similar to those of the predicate devices and do not raise new safety or effectiveness issues.
{2}------------------------------------------------
#### Performance Data
Since care of newborns in incubators and warmers is a well established clinical practice, Ohmeda submits that clinical or animal testing to demonstrate safety and effectiveness is not necessary. The product was subject to extensive bench testing, the software was validated, and, to the best of Ohmeda Medical's knowledge, the requirements of 21 CFR 820, Subpart C -- Design Controls -- were satisfied.
### Sterilization Information
The OmniBed is not intended to be sterilized. Cleaning and disinfection instructions can be found in the Operations and Maintenance Manual.
