No
The description focuses on the device's predictive technology based on thermistor resistance and frequency measurement, not AI/ML algorithms. There is no mention of AI, ML, training data, or complex algorithms typically associated with AI/ML in the provided text.
No
The device is used for the measurement and monitoring of human body temperature, which is a diagnostic function, not therapeutic. It does not treat or alleviate a medical condition.
No.
The device is a thermometer used for measuring body temperature, which is a symptom. It does not diagnose a condition or disease.
No
The device description clearly outlines hardware components like a thermistor and an R-C oscillator circuit, indicating it is a physical device, not software-only.
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.
- Device function: The Microlife Instant Digital Thermometer measures human body temperature directly from the body (orally, rectally, under the arm). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a clinical thermometer, which is a medical device but not an IVD.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Microlife Instant Digital Thermometer, Model, QT1JA1 is used for the intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature, orally, rectally and under the arm.
The Microlife Instant Digital Thermometer, Model, QT1JA1 is a hand-held, non-sterile, reusable clinical thermometer intended for the determination of human temperature in either predictive (Instant) mode (5- seconds orally, 7- seconds rectally and under the arm-predictive temperature), or standard mode (actual determination of temperature).

Device Description
This predictive (instant) digital electronic thermometer enables very fast and reliable measurements. With its predicative technology, this thermometer offers very high clinical accuracy and, has been designed to provide maximum userfriendliness.
The basic principle of this thermometer is that a change of thermistor resistance, caused by changes of temperature, are converted to changes of frequency of R-C oscillator circuit. Therefore, temperature can be given by measuring the frequency of the oscillator.
For a given time period by applying to R-C oscillator circuit, changes of temperature will correspond to changes of pulse number.

§ 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.
