No
The device is a simple physical barrier (sheath) for a thermometer probe and the description focuses on material properties and physical performance, with no mention of AI/ML.

No.
The device is a probe sheath intended to prevent contamination during temperature measurement, not to directly treat or cure any medical condition.

No

The device is a non-sterile sheath used as a barrier for a digital thermometer to prevent contamination and infection during temperature measurement. It does not perform any diagnostic function itself.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "shell-like device, made of PE/EVA" and describes physical components and materials, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to act as a physical barrier between a digital thermometer and the user's oral cavity to prevent contamination and infection during temperature measurement. This is a physical function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "shell-like device" made of PE/EVA used to cover the thermometer. This further reinforces its role as a physical barrier.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) or to provide information about a disease or condition. Its purpose is solely to maintain hygiene during a measurement taken by another device (the thermometer).
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on biological compatibility (cytotoxicity, irritation), physical properties (dimensions, integrality, strength), and the impact on the thermometer's accuracy (which is a function of the thermometer itself, not the sheath). These are not typical performance metrics for an IVD.

IVD devices are designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such test.

Discussion

The basic intended use is the same for both the predicate and subject device in that the device functions as an outer barrier to the thermometer. The predicate device is indicated for both oral and rectal thermometer whereas the subject device is only indicated for oral thermometers. Although small differences exist with predicate device in terms of dimension specification. whether the dimension differences affects temperature measuring accuracy of covered thermometers was evaluated. Performance testing for temperature accuracy was investigated per ASTM E1104/ASTM E1112, the test results showed compliance with the temperature accuracy requirements, thus the subject device has demonstrated it is substantially equivalent with the predicate device.

Non-Clinical Test Conclusion

Non clinical tests were conducted to verify that the proposed device met all design specifications to perform similarly and in a substantially equivalent manner to the predicate device. The test results demonstrated that the proposed device complies with the following standards:

  • ISO 10993-5: 2009 Biological Evaluation Of Medical Devices -- Part 5: Tests For In Vitro ■ Cytotoxicity
  • ISO 10993-10: 2010 Biological Evaluation Of Medical Devices - Part 10: Tests For Irritation And Skin Sensitization.

-ASTM E1104-98: Standard Specification for Clinical Thermometer Probe Covers and Sheaths

-ASTM E1112-00: Standard Specification for Electronic Thermometer for Intermittent Determination of Patient Temperature

-Bench Testing for the performance of Dimensions, Integrality

Conclusion: The Disposable Thermometer Probe Sheaths have demonstrated the product is similar in intended use and materials of construction as that of the predicate device. Performance testing showed it performs in a manner that is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device.
