Intended Use
The No Touch + Forehead Thermometer (Model NTF3000US) is a non-sterile, reusable clinical thermometer intended for the intermittent determination of human body temperature in a touch and no touch on the centre of the forehead as the measurement site on people of all ages.
Device Description
The No Touch+Forehead Thermometer ( Model NTF3000US) is a hand-held, battery powered device designed to measure human body temperature. The NTF3000 is an Infrared thermometer that converts a user's forehead temperature using the infrared energy emitted in the area around the user's forehead to an oral equivalent temperature when placed in contact with the subject's forehead or up to two (2) inches away. The NTF 3000 thermometer uses a thermopile sensor with integrated thermistor for the target reading, a thermistor mounted in the head of the thermometer for ambient temperature readings, a parabolic mirror to help focus the infrared energy emitted from the forehead, and an infrared distance sensor for detection of contact or non-contact use and compensation of the temperature reading.
More Information

No
The device description details standard infrared thermometry components and processes, and there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the document.

No

A therapeutic device is used for treating or alleviating a medical condition. This device is a thermometer, which is used for measurement and diagnosis, not for therapy.

Yes

The device is a clinical thermometer intended for the intermittent determination of human body temperature, which is a diagnostic measurement.

No

The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a thermopile sensor, thermistor, parabolic mirror, and infrared distance sensor, indicating it is a physical 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 (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The No Touch + Forehead Thermometer measures body temperature by detecting infrared energy emitted from the forehead. It does not analyze any biological specimens.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the device is a clinical thermometer used for external measurement of body temperature, not an IVD.

§ 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.
