The Kendall Genius 2 Infrared Tympanic Electronic Thermometer is intended for use in patients in Acute and Alternate care settings to provide temperature measurements from the tympanic membrane and equivalent measurements of core, oral, rectal, and axillary temperature based on the tympanic reading.
The Genius 2 is a new infrared tympanic electronic thermometer comprised of a battery operated handheld thermometer unit tethered to a base station. This Class II device is an electronic clinical thermometer that measures temperature by sensing infrared emmisions from the tympanic membrane in the ear canal. Through offest adjustments, equivalent site temperatures can be displayed for oral, rectal, core, and axillary temperatures based on the tympanic reading. This clinical electronic thermometer offers a streamlined graphical user interface that walks the user through temperature measurement.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Kendall Genius 2 Infrared Tympanic Electronic Thermometer. While it states that "Performance data for the Kendall Genius 2 Infrared Tympanic Electronic Thermometer is compared to that of the predicate device... Results of verification / validation demonstrate that the modified device is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed device," it does not actually include the detailed performance data or a specific study proving the device meets acceptance criteria.
Therefore, I cannot provide a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance, nor can I answer questions 2 through 9 based on the provided text. The document focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Kendall FirstTemp Genius Tympanic Thermometer, K920713) based on intended use, materials, physical characteristics, and performance characteristics, but it does not present the specific data from such performance comparisons.
§ 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.
