{0}------------------------------------------------ K080981 (P. 1 of 2) # 510(K) SUMMARY This summary of 510(k) safety and effectiveness information is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of SMDA 1990 and 21 CFR 807.92, and the relevant 510(k) submission quidance. The assigned 510(k) number is: Submitter's Identifications: Company: Mesure Technology Co., Ltd. Address: 7F, No. 86, Sec. 1, KwangFu Road, Sanchung City, Taipei Hsien, Taiwan, R.O.C. Contact person: John Chen / Ph. D. - 1. Name of the Device: Ear Thermometer / Models ST66 and ST67 - Information of the 510(k) Cleared Device (Predicate Device): 2. Ear Thermometer Model ST64 & ST65.(K040627) #### ဒေ Device Description: The Mesure ear thermometer, models ST66, and ST67, are the handheld electronic thermometers that measures the temperature through the opening of the auditory canal by using a thermopile as the temperature sensor. The signal of sensor is calculated and displayed by an ASIC (Application Specific IC) - controlled circuit, which is considered the hard-wire control instead of programmable control. From the construction point of view, the ear thermometer comprises of a thermopile for the measuring sensor, a reference thermistor for comparison of temperature, a buzzer for sounding effect, an ASIC for calculating, and LCD for displaying the measuring temperature digitally for which the thermopile sensor detect the ear canal temperature through the infrared. This system uses a 3.0 V DC battery for operation of complete system whenever the battery is low, the ASIC circuit will detect the low battery condition automatically, and displays 'Low battery' in LCD display. Regarding the performance of ST66 and ST67, they were designed and verified according to the US standard ASTM E 1965-00. ### 4. Intended Use: The device measures the body temperature from the auditory canal of of a patient by means of an infrared sensor coupled with an electronic signal amplification. conditioning and digital LCD (display) unit. The device is reusable and intended for home use on people of all ages. #### Comparison to the 510(k) Cleared Device (Predicate Device): 5. Since the new models ST66 and ST67 were developed from the cleared device ST64 and ST5 through the design control procedures of Measure Technology Co., Ltd. with only the small change in dimension, device housing, and some non-performance and safety related features, the new device is substantial equivalence to that of device being modified. ST64 and ST65 - 6. Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Performed Determination of Substantial Equivalence are as follows: Compliance to applicable voluntary standards includes ASTM E1965: 2000, as well as EN 60601-1, and EN 60601-1-2 requirement. {1}------------------------------------------------ ## 7. Conclusions Kobo 981 (P.2052) The Mesure ear thermometer thermometer, models ST66, and ST67 have the same intended use and technological characteristics as the cleared device of Measure's model ST64 and ST65. Moreover, verification and validation tests contained in this submission demonstrate that the difference in the submitted demonstrate could maintain the same safety and effectiveness as that of cleared device. In the other words, those engineering difference do not: (1) affect the intended use or (2) alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the seal of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.

Re: K080981 Trade/Device Name: Ear Thermometer, Models ST66 and ST67 Regulation Number: 21 CFR 880.2910 Regulation Name: Clinical Electronic Thermometer Regulatory Class: II Product Code: FLL Dated: March 13, 2008 Received: April 7, 2008 Dear Dr. Chen: 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. {3}------------------------------------------------ Page 2 - Dr. Chen Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
