No
The description mentions "predictive technology" and a "well established physical model" to predict temperature based on early readings, but it does not mention AI, ML, or any related terms. The mechanism described appears to be based on a traditional physical model rather than a learned algorithm.

No
The device is a thermometer used for measuring and monitoring body temperature, which is a diagnostic tool rather than a therapeutic one. It does not actively treat or alleviate a medical condition.

No
Explanation: The device measures body temperature, which is a symptom, but it does not diagnose a disease or condition based on that measurement.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "digital electronic thermometer" and mentions a "fast probe," indicating it is a physical hardware device with embedded software, not a standalone software application.

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: The Microlife MT 1811 Instant Digital Thermometer measures human body temperature directly from the body (orally, rectally, under the arm). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature," which is a direct physiological measurement, not an in vitro test.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a general medical device for physiological measurement, 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.
