Life Innovations, LLC

Life Innovations, LLC specializes in wearable medical devices focused on infant safety.

This device falls under the category of Class I medical devices, which are generally considered low-risk but still regulated to ensure safety and performance.

Life Innovations, LLC is based in the United States. The company’s location influences the regulatory framework its devices must comply with, as the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) oversees medical device authorization in the U.S. The Infant Sleep Beanie is listed under the FDA’s 510(k) pathway, meaning it has been evaluated against a legally marketed predicate device to demonstrate substantial equivalence in safety and performance.

The Infant Sleep Beanie, manufactured by Life Innovations, LLC, is listed under the FDA’s 510(k) pathway. This pathway is part of the U.S. regulatory system where devices are compared to a previously authorized predicate to demonstrate they are substantially equivalent in terms of safety and performance. The listing ensures transparency and allows healthcare providers, regulators, and consumers to access information about the device’s authorization status.

The Infant Sleep Beanie is classified as a Class I medical device. This classification is determined by the FDA based on the risk associated with the device. Class I devices are typically low-risk and pose minimal potential harm to users. While they still require compliance with good manufacturing practices (GMP), they often do not require pre-market approval or a 510(k) submission unless they incorporate new or different technologies. The Infant Sleep Beanie’s classification reflects its focus on infant safety through passive features like temperature regulation and positioning support.
