FDA Product Code FMT: Warmer, Infant Radiant

Preventing neonatal hypothermia is critical in the care of preterm and sick newborns. FDA product code FMT covers radiant infant warmers used in neonatal intensive care units and delivery rooms.

These devices use infrared radiant heat delivered from an overhead heater to maintain the thermal environment of newborns during resuscitation, procedures, and stabilization, while allowing full access to the infant for clinical care.

FMT devices are Class II medical devices, regulated under 21 CFR 880.5130 and reviewed by the FDA General Hospital panel.
