The summary describes a standard infrared thermometer and does not mention any AI or ML components or capabilities.
No
The device is an ear thermometer used to detect body temperature, which is a diagnostic tool, not a therapeutic one. It does not treat or cure any medical condition.
No
Explanation: The device is described as an electronic thermometer for measuring body temperature. While temperature can be a diagnostic indicator, the device itself is not presented as making a diagnosis or providing diagnostic information beyond temperature measurement. It is a measurement tool, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description explicitly states it uses an "infrared sensor" to detect temperature, which is a hardware 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 FORA IR20b/FORA IR21b Ear Thermometer measures body temperature using an infrared sensor. It does this by detecting infrared radiation emitted from the ear canal. This is a direct measurement of a physical property of the body, not an analysis of a sample taken from the body.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the device's function falls outside the scope of in vitro diagnostics.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The FORA IR20b/FORA IR21b Ear Thermometer is an electronic thermometer using an infrared sensor to detect human body temperature from the ear canal on people of all ages and for use in the home. It is also available to detect object's surface temperature including human skin.

§ 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: FORA IR20b//FORA IR21b Ear Thermometer Regulation Number: 21 CFR 880.2910 Regulation Name: Clinical Electronic Thermometer Regulatory Class: II Product Code: FLL Dated: February 13, 2009 Received: February 17, 2009
Dear Mr. 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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115.
