4. Adjudication Method

This information is not provided in the document.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

A multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not conducted as this device is a thermometer, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

6. Standalone Performance

Yes, a standalone performance assessment was done, evaluating the device's accuracy and repeatability without human intervention. The reported values for laboratory accuracy and clinical repeatability are standalone metrics.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for accuracy was established against a reference standard in laboratory settings (bench tests) and through clinical repeatability measurements in a clinical setting. The specific method for determining the "true" temperature for comparison during clinical repeatability is not detailed, but it typically involves comparison to another validated thermometer or a set protocol.

8. Sample Size for Training Set

This information is not applicable as this is not an AI/ML device requiring a training set.

§ 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.
