Intended Use
The UP-GRADE FOREHEAD THERMOMETER is a non-sterile, reusable clinical thermometer intended for the determination of human's body temperature using the forehead as measurement site.
Device Description
The over-the-counter Up-Grade Forehead Thermometer is a compact predictive clinical thermometer designed to measure human body temperature by detecting heat flow from the temporal artery, by using the heat conduction principle and prediction. The over-the-counter Up-Grade Forehead Thermometer is designed to calculate the maximum temperature of a probe in contact with the body site. without waiting for thermal equilibrium to occur, by heat transfer data and mathematical algorithm. The temperature reading range is from 35.0ºC to 42.0°C (95.5°F to 107.6°F) and the time of measurement is 6-10 seconds.
More Information

No
The description mentions a "mathematical algorithm" for temperature prediction, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like training/test sets, which are typical indicators of AI/ML use in medical devices.

No
The device is a thermometer used for measuring body temperature, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It does not treat or alleviate any medical condition.

No
The device is a thermometer, used to measure body temperature. While temperature can be an indicator of health status, the device itself simply measures a physiological parameter and does not diagnose a disease or condition. Its intended use is for "determination of human's body temperature," not for diagnosing.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "compact predictive clinical thermometer" that measures temperature by "detecting heat flow from the temporal artery" and uses a "probe in contact with the body site." This indicates a physical hardware component is involved in the measurement process, not just software.

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 human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body ("in vitro").
  • Device Function: The UP-GRADE FOREHEAD THERMOMETER measures body temperature by detecting heat from the forehead. This is a measurement taken directly from the body ("in vivo").
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "determination of human's body temperature using the forehead as measurement site." This clearly describes an in vivo measurement.

The description of the device and its intended use aligns with a standard clinical thermometer, not an in vitro diagnostic 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.
