Intended Use
Infrared Ear Thermometer ET-101A is indicated for the intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature by consumers in a home use environment. It's intended for use on people of all ages.
Device Description
Infrared Ear Thermometer ET-101A is electronic thermometers using an infrared detector (thermopile detector) to detect body temperature from the auditory canal. Its operation is based on measuring the natural thermal radiation emanating from the tympanic membrane and the adjacent surfaces of the patient. To measure ear temperature, put a new clean probe cover on the infrared ear thermometer, then insert it into a patient's outer ear canal. A test button is pressed to start the measurement through the radiation exchanges. The electrical signal read out from the detector is fed to the circuit for amplification and calculation. The measured temperature then appears on a LCD display. The total operation takes a few seconds.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on standard infrared detection and signal processing, with no mention of AI/ML terms or processes like training/test sets.

No
The device is an infrared ear thermometer, indicated for the intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature. This function is for diagnosis or monitoring purposes, not for treating or preventing a disease, which would classify it as a therapeutic device.

Yes
The device is described as measuring and monitoring human body temperature, and its performance studies evaluate "clinical bias, clinical uncertainty and clinical repeatability," all of which are diagnostic functions. While it doesn't diagnose a specific disease, it provides data that can be used as part of a diagnostic process.

No

The device description explicitly states it uses an infrared detector (thermopile detector) and has an LCD display, indicating it is a hardware device that measures temperature.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. These tests are performed outside of the living body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The Infrared Ear Thermometer ET-101A measures body temperature by detecting infrared radiation emanating from the body (specifically the ear canal). 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 measurement of a physiological parameter, not an analysis of a biological sample.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Infrared Ear Thermometer ET-101A is a medical device, but it falls under the category of a non-IVD device used for physiological measurement.
