More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard electronic thermometer and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities. The performance studies focus on measurement time and accuracy, not algorithmic performance.

No
The device is an electronic thermometer used to measure body temperature, not to treat or cure any medical condition.

No
Explanation: This device is a thermometer used to measure body temperature, which is a vital sign. While vital signs can be indicators of health, measuring them is not considered a diagnostic act itself. Diagnostic devices typically identify diseases, conditions, or the nature of illnesses.

No

The device description explicitly states "Electronic Thermometer," which implies a physical hardware component for temperature measurement. The summary also discusses performance studies related to temperature measurement time and range, further indicating a hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Flexible Tip Thermometer measures body temperature directly from the patient (orally, rectally, or axillarily). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Flexible Tip Thermometer is a medical device, but it falls under the category of a clinical thermometer rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The Flexible Tip Thermometer measures patient body temperature in approx. 60 seconds. The thermometer is programmed to display the current body temperature. The temperature detected is graduated on 0.1ºF intervals, reading a range of 90.0ºF. The ambient temperature environment in which the device is intended for use is 60.8°-104°F (95% Relative Humidity).

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.
