No
The device description explicitly states that the signal is calculated and displayed by an ASIC (Application Specific IC), which is described as "hard-wire control instead of programmable control." There is no mention of AI, ML, or any programmable algorithms that would suggest the use of these technologies.
No
The device is an infrared ear thermometer for measuring body temperature, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It does not treat or cure any condition.
No
This device measures body temperature, which is a physiological parameter. While a fever can be a symptom of a medical condition, the device itself simply provides a measurement and does not interpret or diagnose any disease or condition based on that measurement.
No
The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a thermopile sensor, reference thermistor, buzzer, ASIC, LCD, and batteries, indicating it is a physical device with embedded electronics, not a software-only device.
Based on the provided text, 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 Infrared Ear Thermometer measures body temperature directly from the auditory canal using an infrared sensor. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to measure body temperature, which is a physiological measurement, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
Therefore, the description clearly indicates a device for direct physiological measurement, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

Device Description
The Infrared Ear Thermometer, models IR-04MT is a handheld electronic thermometers that measures the temperature through the opening of the auditory canal by using a thermopile as the temperature sensor. The signal of sensor is calculated and displayed by an ASIC (Application Specific IC) – controlled circuit, which is considered the hard-wire control instead of programmable control.
From the construction point of view, the ear thermometer comprises of a thermopile for the measuring sensor, a reference thermistor for comparison of temperature, a buzzer for sounding effect, an ASIC for calculating, and LCD for displaying the measuring temperature digitally for which the thermopile sensor detect the ear canal temperature through the infrared. This system uses a 3.0 V DC battery(2xAAA batteries) for operation of complete system whenever the battery is low, the ASIC circuit will detect the low battery condition automatically, and displays 'Low battery' in LCD display.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-Clinical Tests Verification Activities Performed:
- Performance Compliance Test according to ASTM E1965:2003 conducted by manufacturer
- Electrical Compliance Test according to IEC 60601-1 by accredited laboratory.
- EMC Compliance Test according to IEC 60601-1-2 by accredited laboratory.
Clinical Test Validation Activities Performed:
A Clinical Test Report conducted according to ASTM E1965:2003 performed by the manufacturer was included as part of ASTM E1965 conformity test report. This report was carried out in such a way that compared the accuracy performance between IR-04MT and the predicate device according to the method recommended in ASTM E1965 standard. The results of the Clinical Test Report could positively support the claim of Substantial Equivalence for IR-04MT against the chosen 510K predicate device.
