Device Description
The Radiant Innovation Inc., Infrared Ear Thermometer, Models THP series are electronic thermometers that use an infrared detector (thermopile detector) to detect body temperature using infrared radiation 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

Not Found

No
The description details standard infrared temperature measurement and microprocessor processing, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms.

No.
The device is an infrared ear thermometer intended for intermittent monitoring of human body temperature, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.

No

The device is described as a thermometer used for intermittent monitoring of body temperature, which is a measurement function, not a diagnostic one. It provides a physiological parameter rather than identifying or characterizing a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly mentions an infrared sensor, thermopile detector, hardware amplification, and a microprocessor, indicating the presence of physical hardware components beyond just 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: This device measures body temperature using infrared radiation from the auditory canal. It does not analyze biological samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "intermittent monitoring of human body temperature," which is a direct measurement of a physiological parameter, not an analysis of a biological sample.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device, specifically a thermometer, but not an in vitro diagnostic device.
