Not Found

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, image processing, or any related concepts, and the intended use is a simple temperature measurement.

No
The device is used for measurement of body temperature, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It does not treat or alleviate a medical condition.

Yes
Explanation: The device is intended for the "intermittent measurement of body temperature," which is a diagnostic function, as it provides information about a patient's health status.

Unknown

The provided summary lacks a device description, which is crucial for determining if the device is software-only or includes hardware components. The intended use mentions "intermittent measurement of body temperature," which typically requires a physical sensor, but without a description, it's impossible to confirm.

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 of body temperature in patients of all ages in home environment." This describes a device that measures a physiological parameter (body temperature) directly from the body, not from a sample taken from the body.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the "Ear," which is a part of the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening based on sample analysis.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. This device measures body temperature directly, which falls under the category of a general medical device, not an IVD.

§ 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.

Trade/Device Name: NPAC Multi-Use Ear Thermometer, Models TP 700, TP 702 Regulation Number: 21 CFR 880.2910 Regulation Name: Clinical Electronic Thermometer Regulatory Class: II Product Code: FLL Dated: August 26, 2005 Received: September 1, 2005

Dear Dr. Chi-Chu Wu Chen:

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 either 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.
