Intended Use
The device is an electronic clinical thermometer using an infrared sensor to detect body temperature from the auditory canal in the neonatal, pediatric and adult population used for intermittent monitoring of human body temperature in the home setting.
Device Description
The Radiant Innovation Inc., Infrared Ear Thermometer, Models THK09, IRT 3020 are electronic thermometers that use an infrared detector (thermopile detector) to detect body temperature using infrared radiantion from the auditory canal. Its operation is based on measuring the natural infrared thermal radiation emanating from the tympanic membrane and the adjacent surfaces of the patient. To measure ear temperature, the ear thermometer is inserted into a patient's outer ear canal. A start button is pressed to start the measurement through the radiation exchanges. The electrical signal read out from the detector is amplified by hardware and processed by the microprocessor. The temperature from the auditory canal in the neonatal, pediatric and adult population used for intermittent monitoring of human body temperature in the home setting.
More Information

No
The description details standard infrared temperature measurement and signal processing by a microprocessor, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis or interpretation.

No
A therapeutic device is one that treats or prevents a disease or condition. This device is a thermometer, which is used for monitoring, not therapy.

No

The device is described as an electronic clinical thermometer used for intermittent monitoring of human body temperature, which is a measurement tool, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it uses an infrared detector (thermopile detector) and involves hardware amplification and processing by a microprocessor, indicating it is a hardware device with embedded software, not a software-only medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • This device measures body temperature in vivo (within the body) by detecting infrared radiation from the auditory canal. It does not analyze any biological specimens.

The description clearly states its function is to "detect body temperature from the auditory canal" and "for intermittent monitoring of human body temperature." This is a direct measurement of a physiological parameter within the living body, not an in vitro analysis of a specimen.

N/A

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The device is an electronic clinical thermometer using an infrared sensor to detect body temperature from the auditory canal in the neonatal, pediatric and adult population used for intermittent monitoring of human body temperature in the home setting. The probe cover is intended as a disposable cover acting as a sanitary barrier between the thermometer and the ear canal.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The objective of this study was to compare the clinical accuracy of the THK09 Infrared Ear thermometer with that of two legally marketed thermometers in the US i) the MC 341 Omron Digital Thermometer (K091676) and ii) Braun IRT 3020 Ear Thermometer (K983295).

In accordance with ASTM E1965:2003, the clinical accuracy is characterized in terms of Bias, Standard Deviation or Limits of Agreement and Repeatability.

The summary results for bias, SD and Repeatability using the Omron MC 341 and the Braun IRT 3020 Ear thermometers as reference devices showed that the bias and repeatability was within the clinically relevant acceptance criteria of +/-0.2 deg C. The standard deviations were within 0.5 deg C.

The THK09 has a clinical accuracy comparable to the legally marketed MC 341 Omron Digital Thermometer (K091676) and ii) Brain IRT 3020 Ear Thermometer (K983295).

are as follows:

Compliance to applicable voluntary standards includes ASTM E1965-98 and EN12470-5:2003, as well as EN 60601-1 (IEC 60601-1) and EN 60601-1-2 (IEC 60601-1-2) requirements.

Guidance Documents included the FDA "Guidance On The Content of Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions for Clinical Electronic Thermometers", "How to Prepare A Special 510(k)", "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device".

8. Summary of Clinical Evaluation:

The objective of this study was to compare the clinical accuracy of the THK09 Infrared Ear thermometer with that of two legally marketed thermometers in the US i) the MC 341 Omron Digital Thermometer (K091676) and ii) Braun IRT 3020 Ear Thermometer (K983295).

In accordance with ASTM E1965:2003, the clinical accuracy is characterized in terms of Bias, Standard Deviation or Limits of Agreement and Repeatability.

Acceptance Criteria:

For bias and repeatability, a clinically acceptable value of +/- 0.2 deg C was used as the acceptance criteria.

Results

The summary results for bias, SD and Repeatability using the Omron MC 341 and the Braun IRT 3020 Ear thermometers as reference devices showed that the bias and repeatability was within the clinically relevant acceptance criteria of +/-0.2 deg C. The standard deviations were within 0.5 deg C.

Conclusion:

The THK09 has a clinical accuracy comparable to the legally marketed MC 341 Omron Digital Thermometer (K091676) and ii) Brain IRT 3020 Ear Thermometer (K983295).

9. Conclusions:

The RII Infrared Ear Thermometer (models THK09, IRT 3020) has the same intended use, indications for use and technological characteristics as the cleared device TH8 series device. The devices have minor differences of some additional features and corresponding hardware or software changes.

Bench testing contained in this submission supplied demonstrates these changes do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. The materials used are identical to the ones used in the previously cleared devices. Clinical Evaluation of the THK09 shows that it is within the acceptance criteria of +/-0.2 deg C when compared to the legally marketed predicate reference devices when conducted in accordance with ASTM E1965:2003.

Thus, the RII Infrared Ear Thermometer, Models THK09, IRT 3020 are substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
