Intended Use
The MHS 5000 thermal imaging system is a thermal based imaging device intended for viewing and digitally storing thermal patterns generated by the human body in the settings, surgery, healthcare practitioner facilities or in any environment where healthcare is provided by a qualified healthcare professional. The MHS 5000 provides for use with both laptop and desktop computers. The computer provides the user interface, image storage and display. Use of this device is determined by the healthcare professional and is based upon his or her assessment of the patient's medical condition and requirements. The patient population is not limited to pediatric and neonatal. The device is for providing thermal images of the human body.

No
The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the description focuses on basic thermal imaging and storage without mentioning any advanced analytical or learning capabilities.

No
The device is described as an "imaging device" for "viewing and digitally storing thermal patterns generated by the human body," indicating it is for diagnosis or monitoring, not treatment.

No

The "Intended Use" states that the device is "intended for viewing and digitally storing thermal patterns generated by the human body." It does not mention any function for diagnosing or detecting a disease or condition, but rather for providing images. The statement "Use of this device is determined by the healthcare professional and is based upon his or her assessment of the patient's medical condition and requirements" further indicates that the device assists the healthcare professional but doesn't perform the diagnosis itself.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "thermal imaging system" and a "thermal based imaging device," implying the presence of hardware (a thermal sensor/camera) to capture the thermal patterns, in addition to the software for viewing, storing, and displaying the images.

Based on the provided information, the MHS 5000 thermal imaging system is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
  • MHS 5000 Function: The MHS 5000 is described as a thermal imaging device that views and stores thermal patterns generated by the human body. It does not involve the analysis of specimens taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for viewing thermal images of the human body in a clinical setting, not for analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the MHS 5000 falls under the category of an in vivo diagnostic or imaging device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

(a)
Telethermographic system intended for adjunctive diagnostic screening for detection of breast cancer or other uses —(1)Identification. A telethermographic system for adjunctive diagnostic screening for detection of breast cancer or other uses is an electrically powered device with a detector that is intended to measure, without touching the patient's skin, the self-emanating infrared radiation that reveals the temperature variations of the surface of the body. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(2)
Classification. Class I (general controls).(b)
Telethermographic system intended for use alone in diagnostic screening for detection of breast cancer or other uses —(1)Identification. A telethermographic system for use as the sole diagnostic screening tool for detection of breast cancer or other uses is an electrically powered device with a detector that is intended to measure, without touching the patient's skin, the self-emanating infrared radiation that reveals the temperature variations of the surface of the body. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(2)
