The description details a standard infrared thermometer using an ASIC controlled circuit for calculation, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
No.
The device is described as an electronic clinical thermometer used to detect body temperature, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.
No
The device is an ear thermometer used to measure body temperature, which is a vital sign, not to diagnose a disease or condition.
No
The device description explicitly details hardware components such as an infrared sensor (thermopile), an ASIC controlled circuit, and an LCD display. It is a physical device that measures temperature using infrared radiation.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The E-Care Infrared Ear Thermometer measures body temperature by detecting infrared radiation from the auditory canal. It does not analyze any biological specimens taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to detect body temperature, which is a physiological measurement, not an analysis of a biological sample.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the E-Care Infrared Ear Thermometer is a clinical thermometer used for direct physiological measurement, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The E-Care Infrared Ear Thermometer, models LCT-300 and LCT-600 is a hand-held, battery-powered electronic thermometer which uses an infrared sensor (thermopile) to detect body temperature from auditory canal. Its operation is based on measuring infrared radiation from the tympanic membrane and the surrounding tissue. The signal of sensor is calculated and display by an ASIC controlled circuit. This device consists of a thermopile for the measuring sensor, an ASIC controlled circuit for calculating the electrical signal and an LCD to display the measured temperature.
By inserting the probe of this infrared ear thermometer into the outer canal, press the measurement button to start measurement. The electronic circuits amplify and calculate the signal of sensor, then display the temperature on LCD display. The total operation takes a few seconds.
LCT-300 and LCT-600 use the same electronic components and software (firmware). Basically, their operation is the same, but there are some differences between them:
- Different shape (outlooking).
- LCT-300 does not use probe cover and LCT-600 uses probe cover. During the calibration process in factory, LCT-300 does not have a probe cover on it and LCT-600 does. So LCT-300 (without using probe cover) and LCT-600 (with probe cover) can have the same measurement accuracy after calibration. In their individual user manual, there is different description of usage methods to ensure correct measurement.
