Intended Use
The TempTouch® Dermal Thermometer is an infrared thermometer intended for the intermittent measurement of skin surface temperature of people of all ages.
Device Description
The TempTouch® is a handheld, 9V battery-operated device that measures the surface temperature of the skin. Operation is based on measuring the natural thermal infrared radiation emitted from the surface of the skin.
More Information

No
The description focuses on basic infrared temperature measurement and does not mention any AI or ML components or capabilities.

No
The device is an infrared thermometer for measuring skin temperature, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It does not treat or alleviate any condition.

No.
The device measures skin surface temperature, which is a physiological parameter, but it does not diagnose a disease or condition. Its intended use is for "intermittent measurement of skin surface temperature," not for diagnosing any medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "handheld, 9V battery-operated device" that measures temperature using infrared radiation, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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.
  • TempTouch® Function: The TempTouch® Dermal Thermometer measures the surface temperature of the skin using infrared radiation. This is a non-invasive measurement taken directly from the body's surface, not from a sample taken from the body.

The intended use and device description clearly indicate it's a thermometer for measuring skin temperature, which falls outside the scope of 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.

KABI162 (0,2002)

The Omega predicate employs solid- state electronic signal amplification, which is technology similar to the electronic surface mount technology used by the TempTouch® thermometer. Both display units employ solid-state displays, with the predicate using an LED display while the TempTouch thermometer uses an LCD display.
