Intended Use

The Withings Thermo (Model SCT01) is a non-sterile, reusable clinical thermometer intended for the intermittent determination of human body temperature in a touch mode over the measurement site on people of all ages.

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

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study proving the device meets them, based on the provided text:

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria (from Predicate Device/Standard)Reported Device Performance (Withings Thermo SCT01)
Clinical Accuracy: ± 0.2°C (35.5°C – 42.0°C range) / ± 0.4°F (95.9°F – 107.6°F range)The clinical testing indicated 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." This implies the device meets the stated accuracy of ± 0.2°C / ± 0.4°F.
Clinical Accuracy: ± 0.3°C / ± 0.5°F outside the 35.5°C – 42.0°C rangeImplied to be met, as the overall deviation was within acceptable range per ISO 80601-2-56.

Study Details:

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • The document states that clinical testing was conducted "according to the requirement set out on ASTM 1965: 2009 standard." However, it does not explicitly mention the sample size (number of participants) used in this clinical test.
    • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective). However, clinical testing implies prospective data collection for the purpose of validating the device.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • Not specified. The ground truth in this context would typically be a highly accurate reference thermometer measurement. The document doesn't detail how this reference was established or if human experts were involved in defining the "ground truth" for temperature readings as opposed to simply performing the reference measurements.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • Not applicable/Not specified. For a temperature measurement device, adjudication methods like 2+1 are typically used for subjective diagnoses or interpretations (e.g., radiology). For a quantitative measurement like temperature, the ground truth is typically a direct measurement from a highly calibrated and accurate reference device, not an expert consensus process.
  4. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

    • No, an MRMC study was not done. This type of study is relevant for devices that assist human interpretation (e.g., AI in medical imaging). The Withings Thermo is a standalone measurement device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that requires human interpretation.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:

    • Yes, a standalone performance study was done. The clinical testing evaluated the "accuracy of body temperature measurement between Withings Thermo (Model SCT01) and Braun NTF3000US." This is a direct comparison of the device's output against a predicate device, which itself is a standalone measurement tool. The device is designed for standalone use for temperature measurement.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):

    • The ground truth for temperature measurement would be measurements from a highly accurate and calibrated reference thermometer, conforming to established standards (e.g., ASTM 1965: 2009). The document compares the SCT01's readings to those of the Braun NTF3000US, which is presumably used as a proxy for, or in direct comparison to, such a reference.
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not specified. The document does not provide details about a training set. Infrared thermometers often use predictive algorithms, but the text focuses on clinical validation, not the development or training of such algorithms. It mentions "predictive algorithms to estimate the body temperature" for both the subject and predicate devices, implying these are established and refined during product development, but specific training set sizes are not disclosed for regulatory submission.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Not specified, as training set details are not provided. If a training set were used to refine predictive algorithms, its ground truth would typically be established through highly precise measurements using reference standards in controlled environments, often including invasive core body temperature measurements for correlation. The document does not elaborate on this aspect.

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.
