The description mentions an "internal algorithm" for converting forehead surface temperature to body temperature, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or any related concepts like training or test sets. The technology described is standard infrared sensing and algorithmic conversion, not indicative of AI/ML.
No
The device is an infrared thermometer used for measuring body temperature, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It does not treat or alleviate any condition.
Yes
Explanation: The device is an infrared thermometer which measures human body temperature from the forehead. This measurement is used to assess a person's health status, which aligns with the definition of a diagnostic device.
No
The device description explicitly states it uses infrared sensor technology and has an LCD screen, indicating it includes hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The ARC InstaTemp and ARC InstaTemp MD are infrared thermometers that measure temperature from the forehead. This is a non-invasive measurement taken directly from the body, not from a sample taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to measure body temperature, which is a physiological parameter, not to analyze a biological sample for diagnostic purposes.
Therefore, while it is a medical device, it falls under the category of a clinical thermometer and not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The ARC Non-Touch Thermometer is a fast, accurate and non-intrusive device for measuring a person's temperature. It uses infrared sensor technology to detect the radiated infrared energy emitted from the forehead. Therefore as soon as the sensor is held near the forehead and activated, the temperature measurement is taken by detection of the emitted infrared heat generated by the arterial blood flow.
The ARC Non-Touch Thermometer uses sensor technology that detects the emitted heat from the temporal artery in the forehead from a distance of approximately 1 inch. Once recorded an internal algorithm converts this forehead surface temperature into human body temperature and it is this temperature that is then presented to the user on the LCD screen. This temporal artery detection mechanism and the resulting conversion to body temperature characterizes the ARC Non-Touch Thermometers as an adjusted mode clinical thermometer as per ISO 80601-2-56. This is the same principle of operation as the listed predicate device, K090361.
The ARC Non-Touch Thermometer is indicated for the measurement and display of human body temperature for patients of all ages. It can be used by responsible adults at home or by health care professionals in a clinical environment. In order to serve both these markets, ARC Devices have developed two separate models, the ARC InstaTemp™ Non-Touch Thermometer for home use and the ARC InstaTemp MD™ Non-Touch Thermometer for professional use. Both models have the same purpose, design, materials, energy source and function and also possess the same features related to safety and effectiveness. It is for this reason that the two models are included in the one 510k pre-market submission. This is in compliance with, Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, Bundling Multiple Device or Multiple Indications in a Single Submission, June 22, 2007. The differences between both models while minor in nature and have been introduced to make the device more suitable for professional use as opposed to home use.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Software Verification and validation Testing: Software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDAs Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff 'Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices'. The software for this device was considered as a 'moderate' level of concern since a malfunction of, or a latent design flaw in, the software device could lead to an erroneous diagnosis or a delay in delivery of appropriate medical care that would likely lead to minor injury.
Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC): Electrical safety and EMC testing was conducted for the ARC Non-Touch Thermometer. This testing concluded that the device is in compliance with IEC 60601-1. IEC 60601-1-11 (2010) and ISO80601-2-56 standards for safety and IEC 60601-1-2 standard for EMC.
Bench Performance Testing: The following bench testing was performed to support substantial equivalence:
- ASTM E1965-98 (Reapproved 2009), Standard Specification for Infrared Thermometers for Intermittent Determination of Patient Temperature.
- Software / Algorithm report / Comparison Report with an identical device to the predicate.
Clinical Performance Data: A clinical trial was completed on 136 subjects which verified the clinical performance by way of a clinical accuracy validation as defined in ISO 80601-2-56, section 201.102. The test report concluded that based on the required sample sizes as mandated by the standard that the ARC Devices Non-Touch Thermometer has levels of reproducibility and accuracy, for both febrile and non-febrile patients that are in keeping with the existing devices that are in widespread hospital practice. This clinical trial demonstrates that the ARC Devices Thermometer performs in the clinical setting and so substantial equivalence can be drawn to the predicate. Biocompatibility testing, per ISO 10993-5:2009 and ISO 10993-10:2010 has been completed on both the ARC InstaTemp™ and the ARC InstaTemp MD™ to demonstrate that no biocompatibility concerns exist that affect the substantial equivalence claim.

The following technological differences exist for the ARC Non-Touch Thermometers and its predicate device.
- The accuracy and precision is 0.2℃ across the full range as opposed to 0.3℃ for the ● predicate - This was verified during compliance testing to IEC 60601-1
- . The size of the battery used to power the device - The batteries were verified as being acceptable as part fulfillment of compliance testing to IEC 60601-1.

- . The recommended measurement distance - Reduction of the measurement distance reduces the noise due to ambient temperature. 1-3cm is a comfortable distance for the user to operate these thermometers.
- Dimensions of the devices The changes in dimensions have no effect on functionality . of the thermometer. The modified dimensions are deemed acceptable as the unit can be used by a single operator in the same way as the predicate.
Upon review of these technological differences, it can be concluded that they do not affect the core function of the device. In addition as both the subject and the predicate devices meet the same FDA recognized consensus standards, it can be concluded that the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
