No
The summary describes a thermal imaging system for viewing and storing thermal patterns. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any advanced analytical processing beyond digital storage.
No
The device is described as an "adjunctive diagnostic screening" tool, meaning it assists in detecting conditions rather than treating them. Its function is to view and store thermal patterns, which is a diagnostic capability, not a therapeutic one.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states: "The TyTron C-500IR Clinical Infrared Imaging System is intended for adjunctive diagnostic screening for the detection of breast cancer and other uses..."
No
The device description explicitly states it is composed of an infrared camera interfaced to a computer, indicating it includes hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided information, the TyTron C-500IR Clinical Infrared Imaging System 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.
- TyTron C-500IR Description: The description clearly states that the TyTron C-500IR is a "non-contact, non-invasive, non-radiating, thermal (infrared) imaging system." It captures thermal patterns from the surface of the human body.
This device operates externally to the body and does not analyze samples taken from within the body. Therefore, it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The TyTron C-500IR Clinical Infrared Imaging System is intended for adjunctive diagnostic screening for the detection of breast cancer and other uses such as: peripheral vascular disease, neuromusculoskeletal disorders, extracranial cerebral and facial vascular disease, thyroid gland abnormalities, and various other neoplastic, metabolic, and inflammatory conditions. Use of the TyTron C-500IR System is not intended to be the sole diagnostic procedure for these diseases and conditions.

§ 884.2980 Telethermographic system.
(a)
Telethermographic system intended for adjunctive diagnostic screening for detection of breast cancer or other uses —(1)Identification. A telethermographic system for adjunctive diagnostic screening for detection of breast cancer or other uses is an electrically powered device with a detector that is intended to measure, without touching the patient's skin, the self-emanating infrared radiation that reveals the temperature variations of the surface of the body. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(2)
Classification. Class I (general controls).(b)
Telethermographic system intended for use alone in diagnostic screening for detection of breast cancer or other uses —(1)Identification. A telethermographic system for use as the sole diagnostic screening tool for detection of breast cancer or other uses is an electrically powered device with a detector that is intended to measure, without touching the patient's skin, the self-emanating infrared radiation that reveals the temperature variations of the surface of the body. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(2)
Classification. Class III.(3)
Date PMA or notice of completion of a PDP is required. As of the enactment date of the amendments, May 28, 1976, an approval under section 515 of the act is required before the device described in paragraph (b)(1) may be commercially distributed. See § 884.3.
