Not Found

No
The summary provides no information suggesting the use of AI or ML. It describes a standard thermometer for measuring body temperature.

No
The device is described as a thermometer for measuring body temperature, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It does not treat or cure any condition.

Yes

Explanation: The device is intended for "measuring body temperature," which is a diagnostic activity used to identify conditions like fever or hypothermia.

No

The summary describes a physical thermometer ("Proton Thermometer models PHC 8731, PHC 109 and PHC 889") which is a hardware device for measuring temperature. There is no mention of software being the primary or sole component.

No, 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 Proton Thermometer measures body temperature directly from the body (likely through contact with skin or a body cavity). It does not analyze a sample taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is "measuring body temperature," which is a direct physiological measurement, not an analysis of a biological sample.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Proton Thermometer is a medical device, but it falls under a different category than In Vitro Diagnostics.

§ 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.

Dear Mr. Walls:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into cither class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21. Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
