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.
Device Description
The Radiant Innovation Inc., Infrared Ear Thermometer, Models TH1 series are electronic thermometers using an infrared detector (thermopile detector) to detect body temperature from the auditory canal. Its operation is based on measuring the natural thermal radiation emanating from the tympanic membrane and the adjacent surfaces of the patient. To measure ear temperature, the ear thermometer is inserted into a patient's outer ear canal. A start button is pressed to start the measurement through the radiation exchanges. The electrical signal read out from the detector is fed to the circuit for amplification and calculation. The measured temperature then appears on a LCD display. The total operation takes a few seconds.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description details a standard infrared thermometer operation based on direct radiation measurement and calculation, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms for data processing or interpretation.

No.
The device is used for measurement and diagnosis, not for treatment or therapy.

No
The device measures body temperature, which is a vital sign, but it does not diagnose a medical condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly mentions hardware components such as an infrared sensor, thermopile detector, circuit for amplification and calculation, and an LCD display. It is a physical device that uses software to process the data from its hardware sensors.

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 body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The device described is an infrared ear thermometer. It measures body temperature by detecting thermal radiation from within the body (specifically, the auditory canal). This is a direct measurement of a physiological parameter, not an analysis of a specimen taken from the body.

Therefore, based on the provided information, this device falls under the category of a non-IVD medical 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.
