Intended Use
The wireless temperature monitor, model ST313C/F, ST314C/F are the battery-operated electronic devices with intended use of measuring human body temperature precisely. This device is reusable and intended for wrist and abdomen temperature measurement of the baby less than eight years old, and the baby of eight years old.
Device Description
The Wireless temperature monitor, model ST-314C/F, are the electronic thermometers by using a thermistor as the temperature sensor. The signal of sensor is calculated and displayed by an ASIC (Application Specific IC) - controlled circuit, which is considered the hard-wire control instead of programmable control. From the construction point of view, the digital thermometer comprises of a thermistor for measuring sensor, a reference resistor for comparison of temperature, a buzzer for sounding effect, an ASIC for calculating, and LCD for displaying the measuring temperature digitally for which the thermistor contacts. This system uses a 3.0V DC battery for operation of complete system whenever the battery is low, the ASIC circuit will detect the low battery condition automatically, and displays 'Low battery' in LCD display. Reqarding the performance of ST-314C/F, it was designed and verified according to the US standard ASTM E1112-98.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description explicitly states the use of an ASIC for calculation, which is described as "hard-wire control instead of programmable control," indicating a lack of software-based AI/ML algorithms. The document also explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found".

No
The device measures human body temperature, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It does not provide any treatment or therapy.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a "wireless temperature monitor" intended for "measuring human body temperature precisely." While measuring temperature can be part of a diagnostic process, the device itself is only providing a measurement and not interpreting that measurement to diagnose a condition. It acts as a measurement tool rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a thermistor, reference resistor, buzzer, ASIC, LCD, and battery, indicating it is a physical device with embedded software/firmware, not a standalone software-only device.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to measure human body temperature. This is a physiological measurement taken directly from the body, not a test performed on a sample of biological material (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body.
  • Device Description: The device description details a thermometer using a thermistor to measure temperature. This aligns with a standard medical device for measuring body temperature, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any of the typical components or processes associated with in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device for physiological measurement, not an IVD.
