Intended Use
Valeo VT-601 Series IR Thermometer, (Model no.: VT-601D, VT-601E, VT-601F) is infrared thermometer intended for the intermittent measurement of human body temperature in people of all ages.
Device Description
The Valeo VT-601 Series IR Thermometer, (Model no.: VT-601D, VT-601E . VT-601F) is hand-held, non-sterile, reusable, battery operated device that can measure human body temperature. The Valeo VT-601D IR Forehead/ Ear Thermometer can measure human body temperature in 2 ways: (1) The temporal artery over forehead. (2) Tympanic temperature via the human ear. The Valeo VT-601E IR Ear Thermometer measures human body temperature natural thermal infrared radiation emitted from the ear tympanic. The Valeo VT-601F IR Forehead Thermometer measure human body temperature by the temporal artery over forehead. Operation is based on the measuring of the natural thermal infrared radiation emitted from the surface of the skin over the temporal artery or from the ear tympanic.
More Information

No
The description focuses on basic infrared temperature measurement and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No.
The device is an infrared thermometer intended for temperature measurement, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It does not provide any treatment or therapy.

No

Explanation: The device is an infrared thermometer for measuring body temperature. While temperature can be a symptom, the device itself only measures a physiological parameter and does not provide a diagnosis of a disease or condition. Its intended use is "intermittent measurement of human body temperature," not diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "hand-held, non-sterile, reusable, battery operated device" and measures temperature using infrared radiation, indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software only.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Valeo VT-601 Series IR Thermometer measures human body temperature by detecting infrared radiation emitted from the skin or ear. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "intermittent measurement of human body temperature," which is a direct measurement of a physiological parameter, not an analysis of a biological sample.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Valeo VT-601 Series IR Thermometer is a medical device, but it falls under the category of a non-IVD medical device.

Dear Ms. Reich: .

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
