(Note: The "Available Dimension" and "Outsider Dimension" are listed as comparative information but not explicitly stated as acceptance criteria with numerical targets in the text beyond simply reporting the device's values.)


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

The document does not explicitly state the sample size used for the test set for its performance evaluations (e.g., strength, accuracy, biocompatibility). It mentions "non clinical tests were conducted," but not the number of units tested.

The data provenance is not specified regarding country of origin or whether it was retrospective or prospective. It implies internal testing by the manufacturer.


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

This information is not applicable. The device is a physical barrier (thermometer probe sheath), and its performance is evaluated against engineering standards and material properties, not through expert interpretation or clinical judgment requiring ground truth establishment by experts.


4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not applicable. As explained above, the testing involves objective measurements against predefined standards rather than subjective assessments requiring adjudication.


5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is typically used for diagnostic or screening devices where human readers interpret medical images or data. The Disposable Thermometer Probe Sheath is a physical barrier accessory, and its effectiveness is determined by its physical properties and ability to maintain thermometer accuracy, not by human interpretation.


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

Yes, a standalone performance evaluation was done. The non-clinical tests described (strength, accuracy, biocompatibility) are evaluations of the device's inherent properties and performance without human interaction beyond operating test equipment. The device itself does not involve algorithms or AI. The standard tests (ASTM E1104, ASTM E1112, ISO 10993) assess the device's standalone physical and functional characteristics.


7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for evaluating the performance of the Disposable Thermometer Probe Sheath is established by internationally recognized engineering and biocompatibility standards. Specifically:

  • ASTM E1104-98: Standard Specification for Clinical Thermometer Probe Covers and Sheaths
  • ASTM E1112-00: Standard Specification for Electronic Thermometer for Intermittent Determination of Patient Temperature
  • ISO 10993-5: 2009 Biological Evaluation Of Medical Devices -- Part 5: Tests For In Vitro Cytotoxicity
  • ISO 10993-10: 2010 Biological Evaluation Of Medical Devices - Part 10: Tests For Irritation And Skin Sensitization

These standards define the acceptable limits and methodologies for testing these types of devices.


8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable. The device is a manufactured medical accessory, not an AI/ML model that requires a training set.


9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

This information is not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.

Discussion

The basic intended use is the same for both the predicate and subject device in that the device functions as an outer barrier to the thermometer. The predicate device is indicated for both oral and rectal thermometer whereas the subject device is only indicated for oral thermometers. Although small differences exist with predicate device in terms of dimension specification. whether the dimension differences affects temperature measuring accuracy of covered thermometers was evaluated. Performance testing for temperature accuracy was investigated per ASTM E1104/ASTM E1112, the test results showed compliance with the temperature accuracy requirements, thus the subject device has demonstrated it is substantially equivalent with the predicate device.

Non-Clinical Test Conclusion

Non clinical tests were conducted to verify that the proposed device met all design specifications to perform similarly and in a substantially equivalent manner to the predicate device. The test results demonstrated that the proposed device complies with the following standards:

  • ISO 10993-5: 2009 Biological Evaluation Of Medical Devices -- Part 5: Tests For In Vitro ■ Cytotoxicity
  • ISO 10993-10: 2010 Biological Evaluation Of Medical Devices - Part 10: Tests For Irritation And Skin Sensitization.

-ASTM E1104-98: Standard Specification for Clinical Thermometer Probe Covers and Sheaths

-ASTM E1112-00: Standard Specification for Electronic Thermometer for Intermittent Determination of Patient Temperature

-Bench Testing for the performance of Dimensions, Integrality

Conclusion: The Disposable Thermometer Probe Sheaths have demonstrated the product is similar in intended use and materials of construction as that of the predicate device. Performance testing showed it performs in a manner that is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device.

§ 880.2910 Clinical electronic thermometer.

(a)
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.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in part 807, subpart E of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 880.9 and the following conditions for exemption:(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.
