The device measures the body temperature of a patient by means of a sensor coupled with an electronic signal amplification, conditioning and digital LCD (display) unit. The device is reusable and intended for oral, axillary or rectal temperature measurements for home use on people of all ages.
Device Description
The 10-second digital thermometer, ST87, ST89, ST80, and ST8B, are the electronic thermometers by using a the temperature sensor. The signal of sensor is calculated and displayed by an ASIC (Application Specific IC) - controlled circuit, which is considered the hard-wire control instead of programmable control. From the construction point of view, the digital thermometer comprises of a thermistor for measuring sensor, a reference resistor for comparison of temperature, a buzzer for sounding effect an ASIC for calculating, and LCD for displaying the measuring temperature digitally for which the thermistor contacts. This system uses a 1.5V DC battery for operation of complete system whenever the battery is low, the ASIC circuit will detect the low battery condition automatically, and displays 'Low battery' in LCD display. Regarding the performance of ST87, ST89, ST80, and ST8B, it was designed and verified according to the US standard ASTM E 1112-98.

No
The device description explicitly states the use of an ASIC for calculation, which is described as "hard-wire control instead of programmable control," indicating a lack of AI/ML. Additionally, there are no mentions of AI, DNN, ML, training sets, or test sets.

No.
The device measures body temperature, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It does not treat or alleviate any condition.

No
Explanation: A diagnostic device is used to identify or determine the nature of a disease or condition. This device measures body temperature, which is a vital sign, but does not diagnose a specific disease or condition. It provides information that can be part of a diagnostic process, but the device itself is not performing the diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a temperature sensor (thermistor), reference resistor, buzzer, ASIC, LCD, and battery. It is a physical digital thermometer, not a software-only 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 patient's body (oral, axillary, rectal). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to measure body temperature for home use. This is a direct physiological measurement, not an in vitro test.

Therefore, this digital thermometer falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically 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.
