Intended Use
The Disposable Thermometer Covers and Sheaths are intended for use as barriers between digital or mercury thermometers and users' rectum or oral cavities to avoid the possible contamination and infection during temperature measuring. These covers and sheaths are non-sterile and intended for single use only.
Device Story
Disposable thermometer covers and sheaths; made of PE and EVA; non-sterile; latex-free. Used as physical barrier between digital or mercury thermometers and patient's oral or rectal cavities. Prevents cross-contamination and infection during temperature measurement. Single-use only. Used in clinical or home settings. Healthcare providers or patients place cover over thermometer probe before insertion; discard after use.

Technological Characteristics
Materials: PE and EVA. Form factor: Disposable sheaths/covers sized for digital or mercury thermometers. Non-sterile. Latex-free. Standards: ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10, ASTM E1104-98(2003), IEC 62321.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as a protective barrier during oral or rectal temperature measurement with digital or mercury thermometers to prevent contamination and infection. Intended for single use.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A clinical electronic thermometer is a device used to measure the body temperature of a patient by means of a transducer coupled with an electronic signal amplification, conditioning, and display unit. The transducer may be in a detachable probe with or without a disposable cover.
Special Controls
(1) Device is not a clinical thermometer with telethermographic functions;
(2) Device is not a clinical thermometer with continuous temperature measurement functions; and
(3) Appropriate analysis and testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized editions, as appropriate, of ISO 80601-2-56, “Medical electrical equipment—Part 2-56: Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of clinical thermometers for body temperature measurement,” or ASTM E1965, “Standard Specification for Infrared Thermometers for Intermittent Determination of Patient Temperature,” or ASTM E1112, “Standard Specification for Electronic Thermometer for Intermittent Determination of Patient Temperature,” or ASTM E1104, “Standard Specification for Clinical Thermometer Probe Covers and Sheaths”) must validate specifications and performance of the device.
