Intended Use

The Kinsa Smart Thermometer is intended to measure the human body temperature orally, rectally, or under the arm, and the devices are reusable for clinical or home use on people of all ages.

Device Story

Kinsa Smart Thermometer is a reusable, thermistor-based clinical electronic thermometer. It lacks internal batteries, processors, or displays, instead connecting to a smartphone or mobile device via the headphone/microphone jack. The device operates by sending an audio signal through the thermistor in the metal tip; the signal is altered by temperature and read back through the mobile device's microphone input. A dedicated mobile application processes this signal and displays the temperature on the smartphone screen. The device is used by patients or clinicians in home or clinical settings. By leveraging the smartphone's power and display, it provides a digital temperature reading, facilitating monitoring and clinical decision-making for users of all ages.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. The device was evaluated for compliance with ASTM E1112-00 (Reapproved 2011) for clinical electronic thermometer accuracy, as well as AAMI/IEC 60601-1:2005+A1:2012(E) for electrical safety and AAMI/ANSI/IEC 60601-1-2:2007 for electromagnetic compatibility.

Technological Characteristics

Thermistor-based sensing; stainless steel tip; thermoplastic rubber tip housing; ABS body housing. Powered by connected mobile device battery via headphone/microphone jack. Dimensions: ~4.25" x 0.5" x 0.3"; Weight: 4.4g. Compliant with ASTM E1112-00, IEC 60601-1, and IEC 60601-1-2. Connectivity: Wired connection to smartphone/mobile device.

Indications for Use

Indicated for measurement of human body temperature via oral, rectal, or axillary routes. Intended for use by clinicians or consumers in clinical or home settings for all ages.

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.

The product will read body temperature the same way a clinical digital thermometer does by being placed under the tongue in the mouth, rectum or alternatively, or under the arm. Like other clinical digital thermometers, the Kinsa Smart Thermometer is a thermistor-based product; however, it has the advantage of {2}------------------------------------------------ being read on a mobile device display. Unlike other clinical digital thermometers, the Kinsa Smart Thermometer product requires no batteries or LCD displays. The Kinsa Smart Thermometer is reusable for clinical or home use on people of all ages. The Kinsa Smart Thermometer will connect to Smartphones or other mobile devices via a headphone jack that accepts a microphone input. In this document the terms Smartphone, smartohone and mobile device are used interchangeably and are defined to include the following products: Apple iPhones 5, 4S and the Apple iPod Touch 5. The Kinsa Smart Thermometer consists of four components: - A. Thermometer (probe). - B. An adapter to setup each Smartphone for temperature reading (only needed once per Smartphone). - C. An optional, flexible extension cord that can be used to lengthen the distance between the thermometer and Smartphone so users can see the Smartphone screen while taking a temperature. - D. Software. #### 8) Summary of technologies The Kinsa Smart Thermometer works by sending out an audio signal. This signal crosses the thermistor in the metal tip of the thermometer and is altered based on the temperature. The device reads back the signal change through the mobile device's microphone input. The Kinsa Smart Thermometer app (application) has software to process the signal and displays the precise temperature on the screen. The Kinsa Smart Thermometer meets and exceeds ASTM standards for accuracy and meets ISO standards for accuracy. The Kinsa Smart Thermometer has no batteries, processor or LCD display, instead leveraging the power, processor and display of the user's Smartphone. {3}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/3/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
