No
The description focuses on infrared technology for temperature measurement and does not mention AI or ML.

No
The device is an ear thermometer, which measures body temperature. It is a diagnostic device, not a therapeutic one. Therapeutic devices are used for treatment, while this device is for monitoring and measurement.

No
The device is used for measuring and monitoring human body temperature, which is a measurement rather than a diagnostic function. While temperature can be an indicator of illness, the device itself does not diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it utilizes infrared technology and measures infrared energy, indicating it is a hardware device with a sensor, not solely software.

Based on the provided information, 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 U-RIGHT TD-1115 and TD-1118 ear thermometers measure body temperature directly from the ear canal using infrared technology. This is a direct measurement of a physiological parameter within the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.

Therefore, the device falls under the category of a medical device for monitoring a physiological parameter, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
