The summary describes a standard infrared thermometer and does not mention any AI or ML components, training data, or complex algorithms beyond basic temperature measurement.
No.
The device is an infrared thermometer used for measuring body temperature, not for treatment or therapy.
Yes
The device is an infrared thermometer intended for the intermittent measurement of human body temperature, which is a diagnostic indicator.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "hand-held, non-sterile, reusable, battery operated device" that measures temperature via 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 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 performed outside of the body (in vitro).
- Device Function: The Thermo Pal Infrared Ear Thermometer measures human body temperature by detecting infrared radiation emitted from the ear. This is a measurement taken directly from the body (in vivo), not from a specimen.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "intermittent measurement of human body temperature," which is a direct physiological measurement, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the Thermo Pal Infrared Ear Thermometer is a medical device, but it falls under the category of a clinical thermometer rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 880.2910 Clinical electronic thermometer.
(a)
Identification. A clinical electronic thermometer is a device used to measure the body temperature of a patient by means of a transducer coupled with an electronic signal amplification, conditioning, and display unit. The transducer may be in a detachable probe with or without a disposable cover.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in part 807, subpart E of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 880.9 and the following conditions for exemption:(1) Device is not a clinical thermometer with telethermographic functions;
(2) Device is not a clinical thermometer with continuous temperature measurement functions; and
(3) Appropriate analysis and testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized editions, as appropriate, of ISO 80601-2-56, “Medical electrical equipment—Part 2-56: Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of clinical thermometers for body temperature measurement,” or ASTM E1965, “Standard Specification for Infrared Thermometers for Intermittent Determination of Patient Temperature,” or ASTM E1112, “Standard Specification for Electronic Thermometer for Intermittent Determination of Patient Temperature,” or ASTM E1104, “Standard Specification for Clinical Thermometer Probe Covers and Sheaths”) must validate specifications and performance of the device.
