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.
Device Description
The Radiant Innovation Inc., Infrared Ear Thermometer, Models THxxN series are electronic thermometers using an infrared detector (thermopile detector) to detect body temperature from the auditory canal. Its operation is based on measuring the natural thermal radiation emanating from the tympanic membrane and the adjacent surfaces of the patient. To measure ear temperature, the ear thermometer is inserted into a patient's outer ear canal. A start button is pressed to start the measurement through the radiation exchanges. The electrical signal read out from the detector is fed to the circuit for amplification and calculation. The measured temperature then appears on a LCD display. The total operation takes a few seconds.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description details a standard infrared thermometer using a thermopile detector and basic circuitry for calculation, with no mention of AI, ML, or complex algorithms beyond simple signal processing and calculation.

No
The device is an infrared ear thermometer used to measure body temperature, which is a diagnostic tool, not a therapeutic intervention.

No

Explanation: The device is an infrared ear thermometer used to measure body temperature, which is a vital sign, not a diagnostic finding. While fever can be a symptom of various conditions, the thermometer itself does not diagnose diseases or conditions; it simply provides a measurement.

No

The device description explicitly states it uses an infrared detector (thermopile detector) and has an LCD display, indicating it is a hardware device with embedded software, not a software-only medical device.

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 directly from the auditory canal using infrared radiation. It does not analyze a sample 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 biological sample.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device, specifically a thermometer, 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.
