The device description and performance studies focus on standard infrared thermometry technology and do not mention any AI or ML components or algorithms.
No
The device is strictly for measuring and monitoring body temperature, not for treating or alleviating any medical conditions.
No
The device is described as an electronic thermometer for measuring body temperature, which is a monitoring function, not a diagnostic one. While temperature can be an indicator of illness, the device itself does not diagnose a condition.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as an IR Thermopile Sensor, ASIC, E2PROM IC, LCD, Blacklight, Kev2, and Buzzer1.
Based on the provided information, this device is NOT an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature." This is a direct measurement of a physiological parameter (temperature) from the body surface.
- Device Description: The device measures "natural thermal radiation emanating from the forehead." This is a physical measurement, not a test performed on a sample of biological material in vitro (outside the body).
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue), detecting specific substances (like analytes, biomarkers, pathogens), or performing tests in vitro.
IVD devices are designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This thermometer directly measures a physical property of the body itself.

§ 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.

5. Intended Use:
The Microlife Digital Infrared Forehead Thermometer, Model FR1DM1 is intended for the intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature. The device is indicated for use by people of all ages in the home.
Comparison to Predicate Devices: 6.
The Microlife Digital Infrared Forehead Thermometer, Model FR1DM1 is substantially equivalent to the original Microlife Digital Ear Thermometer, Model IR1DE1 in all aspects, e.g., technological characteristics, modes of operation, performance characteristics, intended use, etc.,
The major difference between the Microlife Infrared Forehead Thermometer and the predicate device is the measuring site. The predicate device is measuring ear temperature while the subject device is measuring forehead temperature.
Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Performed for Determination of 7. Substantial Equivalence are as follows:
Compliance to applicable voluntary standards includes ASTM E1965-98, as well as IEC60601-1 and IEC60601-1-2 requirements.
Guidance documents included the "FDA Guidance on the content of Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions for Clinical Electronic Thermometers".
Discussion of Clinical Tests Performed: 8.
Controlled human clinical studies were conducted using the Microlife Infrared forehead thermometer FR1DM1. Clinical data was presented evaluating clinical bias, clinical uncertainty and clinical repeatability per Microlife clinical test protocol for infrared forehead thermometer.
9. Conclusions:
The Microlife Infrared Forehead Thermometer, Model FR1DM1, has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as the Microlife Infrared Ear thermometer Model IR1DE1. Moreover, bench testing contained in this
