Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard infrared ear thermometer and explicitly states "Not Found" for mentions of AI, DNN, or ML, as well as descriptions of training or test sets typically associated with AI/ML development.

No.
The device is used to measure body temperature, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. Therapeutic devices are designed to treat or alleviate a medical condition.

No

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is an "electronic clinical thermometer using an infrared sensor to detect body temperature". Measuring body temperature is generally considered a monitoring or screening function, not a diagnostic one. Diagnosis involves identifying the nature of a disease or condition, which is not the stated purpose of this thermometer.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "hand held instrument" that uses an "infrared sensor" to measure temperature, indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software only.

No, this device 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 (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body ("in vitro").
  • This Device's Function: The easytem Ear Thermometer measures body temperature directly from the auditory canal using an infrared sensor. This is a direct measurement of a physiological parameter within the body, not an analysis of a specimen taken from the body.

Therefore, based on the provided information, this device falls under the category of a clinical thermometer or medical device for physiological measurement, not an IVD.

Not Found

§ 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.

Device Description:The easytem Ear Thermometer is a hand held
instrument that measures body temperature throu
the opening of the auditory canal. Operation is
based on measuring the natural thermal radiation
emitted from the tympanic membrane and adjacent
surfaces.
Intended Use:The easytem Ear Thermometer is intended for the
intermittent measurement and monitoring of human
body temperature in the home. It is intended for use
on people of all ages.
Technological Characteristics:The easytem Ear Thermometer has the same general
design and performance characteristics as the
predicate devices from Braun and Omron. The main
difference is the physical size, shape and weight.
The easytem Ear Thermometer has the same
intended use, general design and incorporates
similar materials and components, hence should
therefore raise no new questions of safety and
effectiveness.
This submitter concludes that the easytem
Thermometer is therefore substantially equivalent to
the predicate devices "Braun Thermoscan
IRT3020"and the "Omron Gentletemp Instant Ear
