Intended Use
The Digital Thermometer Model V901US is used for the intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature, orally, rectally and under the arm. The device is intended for the adult and pediatric population. The Digital Thermometer Model V901US is a hand- held, non-sterile, reusable clinical thermometer intended for the determination of human temperature in either predictive ( Instant ) mode ( 10-seconds in oral, rectal mode and under the arm mode-predicative temperature, or standard mode (actual determination of temperature).

More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard digital thermometer with predictive and standard modes, focusing on basic electronic functions and accuracy metrics. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No
The device is used for measurement and monitoring of body temperature, which is diagnostic, not therapeutic.

Yes
The device is a digital thermometer, which is used to measure human body temperature. Measuring body temperature is a diagnostic activity, as it provides information about a patient's physiological state that can be used to identify fever or other conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "hand-held, non-sterile, reusable clinical thermometer," which is a physical hardware device. The performance studies also describe physical characteristics and functions of the unit.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Digital Thermometer Function: A digital thermometer measures body temperature directly from the body (in vivo) through contact with the skin or mucous membranes (oral, rectal, under the arm). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.

The description clearly states the device is used for "intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature, orally, rectally and under the arm." This is a direct measurement of a physiological parameter within the body, not an analysis of a sample taken from the body.

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

The submission includes verification and validation activities for minor changes from the predicate device, such as speed of temperature determination, battery type, display graphics, audible beep intensity, and power down time. These changes were verified and validated, and based on the provided tables, the device passed all verification tests, demonstrating that the changes do not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness.

Key verifications include:

  • Battery change: Unit operates as expected in factory and operating modes.
  • Backlight change: No backlight present as intended.
  • Indication icons for low/high temperature ("Lo", "Hi"): Displayed correctly.
  • Measurement time: Average measurement time is less than 10 seconds.
  • Beep count: 10 beeps after measurement completion.
  • Fever alert point: Activated correctly above 37.8°C/100.0°F.
  • Power down time: Unit automatically turns off in 10 ± 1 minutes when no action is taken.
  • Factory mode: Accessible only with password input, with accuracy verified against specified ranges in water-bath mode.

Dear Mr. Kasbekar:

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.
