No.
The device is a thermometer used to measure body temperature, which is a diagnostic tool, not a therapeutic intervention.
No.
The device is a thermometer, which measures body temperature. While temperature can be an indicator of health, measuring it alone does not diagnose a condition.
No
The device description explicitly lists "A. Thermometer (probe)" as one of the four components, indicating it includes hardware beyond just software.
Based on the provided information, the Kinsa Smart Thermometer is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
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.
- Kinsa Smart Thermometer Function: The Kinsa Smart Thermometer directly measures the human body temperature from the body itself (orally, rectally, or under the arm). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
Therefore, the Kinsa Smart Thermometer falls under the category of a clinical thermometer, which is a different type of medical device than an IVD.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Kinso Smart Thermometer is intended to measure orally, rectally, or under the am, and the devices are reusable for clinical or home use on people of all ages.

Device Description
The Kinsa Smart Thermometer product is a thermometer that connects to a Smartphone or another mobile device (e.g. an iPod Touch). The product will read body temperature the same way a clinical digital thermometer does by being placed under the tongue in the mouth, rectum or alternatively, or under the arm. Like other clinical digital thermometers, the Kinsa Smart Thermometer is a thermistor-based product; however, it has the advantage of being read on a mobile device display. Unlike other clinical digital thermometers, the Kinsa Smart Thermometer product requires no batteries or LCD displays. The Kinsa Smart Thermometer is reusable for clinical or home use on people of all ages.
The Kinsa Smart Thermometer will connect to Smartphones or other mobile devices via a headphone jack that accepts a microphone input. In this document the terms Smartphone, smartohone and mobile device are used interchangeably and are defined to include the following products: Apple iPhones 5, 4S and the Apple iPod Touch 5.
The Kinsa Smart Thermometer consists of four components:
- A. Thermometer (probe).
- B. An adapter to setup each Smartphone for temperature reading (only needed once per Smartphone).
- C. An optional, flexible extension cord that can be used to lengthen the distance between the thermometer and Smartphone so users can see the Smartphone screen while taking a temperature.
- D. Software.

§ 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.

- D. Software.
8) Summary of technologies
The Kinsa Smart Thermometer works by sending out an audio signal. This signal crosses the thermistor in the metal tip of the thermometer and is altered based on the temperature. The device reads back the signal change through the mobile device's microphone input. The Kinsa Smart Thermometer app (application) has software to process the signal and displays the precise temperature on the screen. The Kinsa Smart Thermometer meets and exceeds ASTM standards for accuracy and meets ISO standards for accuracy.
The Kinsa Smart Thermometer has no batteries, processor or LCD display, instead leveraging the power, processor and display of the user's Smartphone.
