Intended Use

The Dual Mode Up-Grade Forehead/ Underarm Thermometer device is intended for determination of body temperature.
The Dual Mode Up-Grade Forehead/ Underarm Thermometer device is a non-sterile, reusable clinical thermometer intended for the determination of human's body temperature using the forehead and axilla as measurement sites.

Device Description

The Dual Mode Up-Grade Forehead/ Underarm Thermometer is a clinical electronic thermometer used for determination of body temperature. The over-the-counter Dual Mode Up-Grade Forehead/ Underarm Thermometer is designed to calculate the maximum temperature of a probe in contact with the body site, without waiting for thermal equilibrium to occur, by heat transfer data and mathematical algorithm. The temperature reading range is from 35.0°C to 42.0°C (95.5°F to 107.6°F) and the time of measurement is 6-10 seconds.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text does not contain enough information to fully describe the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them as per your requested format.

Here's why and what information is missing:

  • Acceptance Criteria Detail: The document states "The technological characteristics, e.g., overall design, materials, mechanism of action, mode of operation, performance characteristics, etc., and the intended use of the Dual Mode Up-Grade Forehead/ Underarm Thermometer device are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices cited above." This is a general statement of substantial equivalence, not a list of specific performance acceptance criteria (e.g., accuracy +/- X degrees Celsius, precision Y degrees Celsius). While it implies the device must perform similarly to the predicates, it doesn't quantify "performance characteristics."
  • Study Details: There is no description of a specific study conducted to demonstrate that the device meets any performance criteria. It mentions "heat transfer data and mathematical algorithm" but doesn't elaborate on any study validating this.

Therefore, I cannot populate the table or answer most of the questions.

Information I can extract/infer from the provided text:

  • Device Name: Dual Mode Up-Grade Forehead/ Underarm Thermometer
  • Intended Use: Determination of body temperature, non-sterile, reusable clinical thermometer, using forehead and axilla as measurement sites.
  • Temperature Reading Range: 35.0°C to 42.0°C (95.5°F to 107.6°F)
  • Time of Measurement: 6-10 seconds
  • Ground Truth Type (Inferred): For a thermometer, the ground truth would typically be established by a highly accurate reference thermometer or a precise temperature measurement standard. However, the document does not explicitly state how accuracy was verified or what "ground truth" was used in any testing.

Missing Information (and why it's missing from this type of document):

This document is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device. It typically summarizes findings and often refers to internal company documentation or recognized standards for the detailed study results. The specific performance testing and its criteria, methodology, and results are usually found in the full 510(k) submission, not the publicly available summary.

Therefore, I cannot complete the table or answer most of the questions you've posed based on the provided text.

Dear Ms. Stein:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration. Iisting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
