The thermometers use a DC 1.5V battery for operation of complete system whenever the battery is low, the ASIC circuit will detect the low battery condition automatically, and displays ' in LCD display.
More Information

No
The device description details standard digital thermometer components (thermistor, ASIC, LCD) and the performance studies focus on compliance with established standards for digital thermometers, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms or training/test data.

No
The device is a digital thermometer used for measuring body temperature, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It does not treat or cure any condition.

No
Justification: The device measures body temperature, which is a physiological parameter typically measured as part of monitoring or assessment, not to diagnose a specific disease or condition. While an abnormal temperature might indicate a health issue, the device itself doesn't provide a diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as a thermistor, reference resistor, buzzer, ASIC, LCD, and battery. This indicates it is a physical device with embedded software, not a standalone software-only medical device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to measure human body temperature. This is a direct measurement of a physiological parameter within the body, not an analysis of a sample taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
  • Device Description: The description details a digital thermometer that measures temperature via contact with the body. It does not describe any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances within those samples (analytes)
    • Providing information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases based on sample analysis.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a general medical device used for physiological measurement, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
