The applicant device of Clinical Electronic Thermometers, Model MT901, Mode MT518 and Mode ECT-1 are the electronic thermometers by using a thermistor as the temperature sensor to measure the body temperature in oral, axillaries (underarm use), and rectal.

Device Description

The applicant device of Clinical Electronic Thermometers, Model MT901, Model MT518, Model ECT-1 are the electronic thermometers by using a the temperature sensor. tor as the temperature sensor. The signal of sensor is calculated and displayed by an ASIC (Application Specific IC), JA31106, the CMOS digital clinical thermometer IC for measuring body temperature from 32.0℃~42.0℃(90°F ~ 109.0°F)

All variants follow same design, same application with same performance and safety. The only difference is appearance. Therefore, all variants have same specifications parameters, same PCB Design, and same components with exception of shell.

No antimicrobial or antithrombotic ingredient is applied on the applicant device.

No chemical for the enhancement of its clinical performance is applied on or incorporated into applicant device.

No specific drug or biologic is applied with the applicant device.

AI/ML Overview

The provided 510(k) summary for the Clinical Electronic Thermometers (Models MT901, MT518, ECT-1) does not contain the detailed information necessary to complete the requested table and answer all questions regarding acceptance criteria and a definitive study proving the device meets those criteria.

This 510(k) submission is for a Class II device and relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Rapid Digital Thermometer, Model RDT-18-XY, K062016). The summary explicitly states: "The applicant device has same classification informations and intended use, same design principle, similar product design and specifications, same performance effectiveness, performance safety as the predicate device."

Therefore, concrete acceptance criteria and a detailed study proving performance against those specific criteria for the new device are generally not provided in such a submission when substantial equivalence is asserted. Instead, the assumption is that if the new device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate, it shares the predicate's established performance and safety.

However, I can extract the relevant information and infer some details based on typical thermometer requirements and the general nature of 510(k) submissions for substantially equivalent devices.


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

As the submission relies on substantial equivalence and does not present a new specific performance study against defined acceptance criteria, I will infer typical performance expectations for clinical electronic thermometers and note that the device is stated to meet the "same performance effectiveness" as the predicate.

Acceptance Criterion (Infered/Typical for Electronic Thermometers)Reported Device Performance (as per 510(k))
Accuracy (Temperature Measurement Range)Measures body temperature from 32.0℃~42.0℃ (90°F ~ 109.0°F). Stated to have "same performance effectiveness" as the predicate device.
Response TimeNot explicitly stated in the 510(k) summary. Implied to be comparable to the "Rapid Digital Thermometer" predicate.
Measurement SitesOral, axillary (underarm use), and rectal.
Sensor TypeThermistor.
Display TypeDigital (ASIC calculated and displayed).
Safety (e.g., Biocompatibility)No antimicrobial or antithrombotic ingredients applied. No chemical for enhancement. No specific drug or biologic applied. Implied to have "same performance safety" as the predicate.
Storage Conditions"Similar product design and specifications" to predicate. Note: Slight difference in storage condition noted, but deemed "too slight to affect the device effectiveness and safety."

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Sample Size for Test Set: Not specified. It's highly unlikely a new clinical test set was used if the claim is substantial equivalence based on design and specifications rather than a de novo performance study. It's more likely that bench testing was performed to confirm the specifications of the new device match the predicate.
  • Data Provenance: Not specified. For substantial equivalence, the "data" primarily refers to the characteristics and specifications of the new device matching the predicate, and possibly engineering/bench testing data. Not a typical clinical study in this context.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of those Experts

  • Number of Experts/Qualifications: Not applicable for this type of 510(k) submission. Ground truth, in the sense of clinical expert consensus for diagnosis, is not relevant here as it's a device for direct physiological measurement, not an interpretative AI/diagnostic tool.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Adjudication Method: Not applicable. See point 3.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, and if so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance.

  • MRMC Study: No. This device is a standalone electronic thermometer, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool requiring human interpretation.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done.

  • Standalone Performance: Yes, in the sense that the device itself is standalone. Bench testing would have been implicit to verify that the thermometer accurately measures temperature within its specified range. However, no specific details of such "standalone" testing are provided in this 510(k) summary beyond asserting it has the "same performance effectiveness" as the predicate.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

  • Type of Ground Truth: For a thermometer, the "ground truth" would be calibrated reference temperature standards used during manufacturing and quality control testing, and implicitly, during any verification testing to confirm the device's accuracy against its specifications.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Sample Size for Training Set: Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device that requires a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Ground Truth for Training Set Establishment: Not applicable. See point 8.

Dear Ms. Hong:

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, listing 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.
