The document describes a standard infrared thermometer with an IR sensor, ASIC, and display. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any algorithms beyond basic temperature measurement and processing.
No
The device is described as a thermometer used to detect body temperature, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic intervention.
No
The device is an ear thermometer used to detect body temperature, which is a measurement rather than a diagnosis of a medical condition. While the temperature reading can inform a diagnosis, the device itself does not diagnose but merely measures a physiological parameter.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as an IR Thermopile Sensor, ASIC, E2 PROM IC, LCD, Blacklight, and Buzzer.
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: This device measures body temperature from the auditory canal using infrared technology. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to detect body temperature, which is a physiological measurement, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
Therefore, the Microlife Digital Infrared Ear Thermometer, Models IR1DC1/V971, IR1DG1/SKU4289 and IR1DH1/SKU4290 falls under the category of a medical device, but 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.

Microlife Intellectual Property GmbH, Switzerland Max Schmidheiny-Strasse 201 9435 Heerbrugg / Switzerland
Date Summary Prepared: December 8, 2003
Contact: Mr. Gerhard Frick
2. Name of the Device(s):
Microlife Digital Infrared Ear Thermometer, Models IR1DC1/V971, IR1DG1/SKU4289 and IR1DH1/SKU4290
3. Information for the 510(k) Cleared Device (Predicate Device):
Microlife Digital Infrared Ear Thermometer, Model IR1DE1, K#020725
Device Description: 4.
The Microlife Digital Infrared Ear Thermometer, Models IR1DC1/V971, IR1DG1/SKU4289 and IR1DH1/SKU4290 are electronic thermometers using an infrared sensor (thermopile) to detect body temperature from the auditory canal. Their operation is based on measuring the natural thermal radiation emanating from the tympanic membrane and the adjacent surfaces.

- LCD and Blacklight d)
- Kev "2. Buzzer" 1 e)
5. 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.
Comparison to the 510(k) Cleared Device (Predicate Device): 6.
The Microlife Digital Infrared Ear Thermometers, Models IR1DC1/V971, IR1DG1/SKU4289 and IR1DH1/SKU4290 are substantially equivalent to the original Microlife Digital Ear Thermometer, Model IR1DE1.
The new models IR1DC1/V971, IR1DG1/SKU4289 and IR1DH1/SKU4290 have the same intended use and are similar in design to the 510(k) cleared device.
The IR1DC1/V971, IR1DG1/SKU4289 and IR1DH1/SKU4290 are identical in functionality and performance with the only difference being the external shape of the devices, and PCB layout of the devices. The modifications to our original 510(k) cleared device, Model IR1DE1, include performance specifications, ergonomics of the user interface, dimensional specifications 12 sets memory recall and fever alarm function. The working environmental specification 5-400, temperature measurements algorithm and its software codes of the modified devices remains unchanged.
The fundamental scientific technology of the modified device remains the same as that of the 510(k) cleared device. The Microlife devices (IR1DC1/V971, IR1DG1/SKU4289 and IR1DH1/SKU4290) works with only a 1-second called a "normal" mode
Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Performed for Determination of 7. Substantial Equivalence are as follows:
Compliance to applicable voluntary standards includes ASTM E1112, ASTM E1104 and ASTM E-1965-98, as well as IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 requirements.

Guidance documents included the "FDA Guidance On The Content of Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions for Clinical Electronic Thermometers", "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to An Existing Devices", and, "The New 510(k) Paradigm: Alternate Approaches to Demonstrating Substantial Equivalence in Premarket Notifications".
Discussion of Clinical Tests Performed: 8.
Controlled human clinical studies were not conducted for the Microlife Digital Infrared Ear Thermometer modified devices, as well as no low power test as clinical studies/low power testing were conducted for the original unmodified device and remain unchanged. Accuracy performance, reliability and EMC testing is only applicable.
9. Conclusions:
The Microlife Digital Infrared Ear Thermometer, Models IR1DC1/V971, IR1DG1/SKU4289 and IR1DH1/SKU4290 have the same intended use and technological characteristics as the unmodified model IR1DE1. Moreover, verification and validation tests contained in this submission demonstrate that the modified portions maintained its original safety and effectiveness. These engineering changes do not: (1) affect the intended use or (2) alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device.
