No.
The device is a thermometer, which is a diagnostic tool used to measure body temperature, not to treat a condition.
Yes
The stated "Intended Use" is for the "intermittent determination of human body temperature," and the "Device Description" explains that it measures "infrared energy emitted from the surface of the skin and convert it to an oral equivalent temperature." While not explicitly stated as a diagnostic tool for a specific disease, measuring body temperature is a common diagnostic parameter used by healthcare professionals and individuals to assess health status and identify potential signs of illness.
No
The device description clearly states it is a hand-held, battery-powered infrared thermometer with physical components like a thermopile sensor, thermistor, silicon lens, and LED matrix. While it has optional software connectivity, it is fundamentally a hardware device.
No, the Withings Thermo (Model SCT01) is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. This includes things like blood, urine, tissue, etc., to provide information about a physiological state, health, disease, or congenital abnormality.
- The Withings Thermo measures body temperature directly from the skin. It does not analyze any biological specimens.
The description clearly states that the device measures "the natural infrared energy emitted from the surface of the skin" and converts it to a temperature reading. This is a direct measurement of a physical parameter of the body, not an analysis of a specimen.

Device Description
The Withings Thermo (Model SCT01) is a hand-held, battery powered device designed to measure human body temperature. The SCT01 device is an infrared thermometer that, when placed in contact with the user's skin over the temporal artery, measures the natural infrared energy emitted from the surface of the skin and convert it to an oral equivalent temperature.
The Withings Thermo (Model SCT01) thermometer uses a thermopile sensor for the target reading, a thermistor-like pin junction for ambient temperature readings, and a silicon lens to focus the radiated energy on the thermopile sensor. It embeds a 20x5 LEDs matrix for display of results, and also a Wi-Fi/ Bluetooth module for optional usage of a smartphone application to log results

Performance Testing
According to the device features, the testing for the following standards were considered required for the device:
- . The International Standard ISO 80601-2-56: 2012; Medical Electrical equipment - Part 2-56: Particular requirement for the safety and essential performance of clinical thermometer for body temperatures measurement.
- The International Standard ANSVAAMI ES 60601-1: 2005 - Safety of medical device; Electrical equipment - General safety.
- The International Standard IEC 60601-1-2: 2007; Medical Electrical equipment - Safety -Electromagnetic Compatibility.
- The International Standard IEC 60601-1-11: 2010: Medical Electrical equipment Part 1-11: . general requirements for basic safety and essential performance - collateral standard: requirement for medical electrical equipment and medical electrical system used in the home healthcare environment.
- International Standard ISO 10993-1: 2009; Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Guidance on selection of tests.
- International standard ISO 10993-5:2009 Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 5: Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity
- . International standard EN/ISO 10993-10:2010 Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 10: Tests for irritation and delayed-type hypersensitivity
In addition to the compliance of voluntary standards, the software verification has been carried out according to the FDA software guidance.
The Compliance to applicable voluntary standards as above mentioned indicates that the new device in this submission used the same standards as that of predicate device. Therefore, we consider that the compliance of standards and software validation included in our submission is adequate for the determination of substantial equivalence.
Clinical Tests
The clinical testing was conducted for the accuracy of body temperature measurement between Withings Thermo (Model SCT01) and Braun NTF3000US according to the reguirement set out on ASTM 1965: 2009 standard. The test result indicates that the deviation of temperature measurement deviation between Withings SCT01 and Braun NTF3000US is within acceptable range of the performance requirement of ISO 80601-2-56.
Discussion of Differences
The indications for use of the predicate device indicate the location of contact as the center of the forehead whereas the subject device specifies the temporal artery. The subject device has been validated for this more specified location through performance testing to be substantially equivalent to a "forehead" contacting thermometer.
The technological characteristics and operating principles of Withings Thermo (SCT01) thermometer are essentially similar to the predicate device. Especially, they have same intended use, same measuring method (detection of infrared energy), same sensor type, and similar clinical accuracy. They also have
6
close to similar operating range, measurement range and storage conditions. The most notable differences are:
- . Measurement over the temporal artery uses the exact same principle and technology as measurement over the center of the forehead, and are based on similar underlying physiological characteristics. The temporal artery is a well-known candidate site for temperature measurement, and this difference only results in an adjustment of the predictive algorithm parameters. This was validated through the clinical testing.
- The wireless communication module, as documented in the software description, will never be active while the device is performing or displaying a measurement. As a result, the optional app display function is an additional feature that does not interfere in anyway with the functions, safety and usage of the SCT01 device as a standalone thermometer. This was validated through performance testing, including conformance with the relevant ISO Standards and software validation.
On the basis of the comparison between the two devices and discussion of their differences as well as the discussion of clinical and non-clinical test validation, we demonstrate that the Withings SCT01 and Braun NTF3000US are substantially equivalent.
Conclusions
The Withings Thermo (Model SCT01)has the same intended use and the similar technological characteristics as the cleared devices. Moreover, verification and validation tests contained in this submission demonstrate that the difference in the submitted models do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness as that of cleared device.
In the other words, those engineering difference do not: (1) affect the intended use or (2) alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device. Therefore, we conclude that the Withings Thermo (Model SCT01) and Braun No Touch + Forehead Thermometer NTF3000US are substantially equivalent.
