No
The device description details a simple electronic thermometer using a thermistor and microprocessor to convert resistance changes to temperature readings, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms.
No
The device measures and monitors body temperature, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It does not treat or alleviate any medical condition.
Yes
Explanation: The device is used for the "intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature," which is a diagnostic function used to assess a patient's health status.
No
The device description explicitly mentions hardware components like a thermistor, LCD, microprocessor, and IC, indicating it is a physical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the Microlife Digital Electronic Thermometer MT16K1 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 description clearly states that this device measures human body temperature directly from the body (oral, rectal, under the arm). 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, not an in vitro test.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device for direct physiological measurement, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
This Digital Electronic Thermometer enables easy and highly accurate readings over the body temperature range and has been designed to provide maximum user-friendliness. The body temperature is measured by the thermistor and displayed as numbers on the LCD (liquid crystal display) through microprocessor of IC.
The basic principle of this thermometer is that change of thermistor resistance, caused by changes of temperature, are converted to changes of frequency of R-C oscillator circuit, Therefore, temperature can be given by measuring the frequency of oscillator.
For a given time period, by applying the R-C oscillator circuit, changes of temperature will correspond to changes of pulse number.

§ 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.
