No
The description details standard infrared thermometry technology and does not mention any AI or ML components or processes.
No
The device is a diagnostic tool used to measure body temperature, not to treat a condition.
No
The device measures body temperature, which is a physiological parameter. While temperature can be an indicator of health status, the device itself is not described as diagnosing a disease or condition based on that temperature, but rather providing a measurement.
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components (IR Thermopile Sensor, ASIC, E2 PROM IC, LCD and Blacklight, Buzzer) that are integral to its function.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to examine these samples outside of the body.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is an electronic clinical thermometer that detects body temperature from the auditory canal using an infrared sensor. This is a measurement taken directly from the body, not from a sample taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to measure body temperature, which is a physiological measurement, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.
Therefore, the Microlife Digital Infrared Ear Thermometer, Model IR1DE1, is a medical device for measuring body temperature, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 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.

510(K) SUMMARY
This summary of 5l0(k) safety and effectiveness information is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of SMDA 1990 and 21 CFR §807.92.
The assigned 5l0(k) number is: _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
1. Submitter's Identification:
Microlife Corporation 9F, 431 Rui Guang Road Nei Hu. Taipei 114 Taiwan, Republic of China
Date Summary Prepared:
March 4, 2002
2. Name of the Device:
Microlife Digital Infrared Ear Thermometer, Model IR1DE1.
Information for the 510(k) Cleared Device (Predicate Device): 3.
Microlife Digital Infrared Ear Thermometer, Model IR1DA1, K#000969, K#003308.
4. Device Description:
The Microlife Digital Infrared Ear Thermometer, Model IR1DE1 is an electronic thermometer using an infrared sensor (thermopile) to detect body temperature from the auditory canal. Their operation is based on measuring the natural thermal radiation emanating from the tympanic membrane and the adjacent surfaces.
The Microlife Digital Infrared Ear Thermometer, consists mainly of the five parts:
- IR Thermopile Sensor a)
- ASIC b)
- E2 PROM IC C)
1
- LCD and Blacklight d)
- Kev "2. Buzzer" 1 e)
5. · Intended Use:
The device is an electronic clinical thermometer using an infrared sensor to detect body temperature from the auditory canal in the neonatal, pediatric and adult population used in the home setting.
6. Comparison to the 510(k) Cleared Device (Predicate Device):
The Microlife Digital Infrared Ear Thermometer, Model IR1DE1 is substantially equivalent to the original Microlife Digital Ear Thermometer, Model IR1DA1.
The new model IR1DE1 has the same intended use and is similar in design to the 510(k) cleared device.
The IR1DE1 and the IR1DA1 are identical in functionality and performance with the only difference being the external shape of the devices, and PCB layout of the devices. The modifications to our original 510(k) cleared device, model IR1DA1, include ergonomics of the user interface, dimensional specifications and environmental specifications. The temperature measurements algorithm and its software codes of the modified devices remains unchanged. The fundamental scientific technology of the modified device remains the same as that of the 510(k) cleared device. The Microlife device (IR1DE1) works with only a 1second called a "normal" mode.
7. Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Performed for Determination of Substantial Equivalence are as follows:
Compliance to applicable voluntary standards includes ASTM E1112, ASTM E1104 and ASTM E-1965-98, as well as IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 requirements.
Guidance documents included the "FDA Guidance On The Content of Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions for Clinical Electronic Thermometers", "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to An Existing Devices", and, "The New 510(k) Paradigm: Alternate Approaches to Demonstrating Substantial Equivalence in Premarket Notifications".

8. Discussion of Clinical Tests Performed:
Controlled human clinical studies were not conducted for the Microlife Digital Infrared Ear Thermometer modified devices, as well as no low power test as clinical studies/low power testing were conducted for the original unmodified device and remain unchanged. Accuracy performance, reliability and EMC testing is only applicable.
9. Conclusions:
The Microlife Digital Infrared Ear Thermometer, Model IR1DE1 has the same intended use and technological characteristics as the unmodified model IR1DA1. Moreover, verification and validation tests contained in this submission demonstrate that the modified portions maintained its original safety and effectiveness. These engineering changes do not: (1) affect the intended use or (2) alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device.
