Intended Use

The FT-100A Electronic thermometer is an Infrared thermometer which uses an infrared sensor to detect human body temperature of patients of all ages. It is intended to detect body temperature. The FT-100A is intended for home use.

Device Description

The Universal Infrared Forehead Thermometer, Model FT-100A is a non-contact thermometer which infers temperature from the blackbody radiation emitted from the patient. Temperature is calculated from the knowledge of the amount of infrared energy emitted from the human body. The design consists of a lens to focus the infrared thermal radiation on to a detector, which converts the radiant power to an electrical signal that can be displayed in units of temperature after being compensated for ambient temperature. This permits temperature measurement from a distance without contact with the object to be measured.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the 510(k) premarket notification for the Infrared Forehead Thermometer, FT-100A. It primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than providing detailed acceptance criteria and a standalone study for the device's performance against specific statistical targets commonly seen in AI/ML medical devices.

However, I can extract information related to the device's accuracy and the clinical investigation performed.

Here's an analysis based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The "acceptance criteria" for accuracy are implicitly derived from the comparison to the predicate device and the standards met. The table below combines the stated accuracy for the new device and the predicate, implying that the new device aims to meet or exceed the predicate's accuracy.

CharacteristicAcceptance Criteria (implied from predicate/standards)Reported Device Performance (FT-100A)
Accuracy (Body Mode)±0.2°C (±0.36°F) from 36.0°C (96.8°F) to 39.0°C (102.2°F)±0.3°C (±0.54°F) from 32.0°C (89.6°F) to 35.9°C (96.6°F) and from 39.1°C (102.4°F) to 43.0°C (109.4°F) (From Predicate)FOR BODY MODE:± 0.2°C (±0.4°F) from 36.0°C (96.8°F) to 39.0°C (102.2°F)± 0.3°C (±0.5°F) from 32.0°C (89.6°F) to 35.9°C (96.6°F) and from 39.1°C (102.4°F) to 43.0°C (109.4°F)Clinical investigation demonstrated: "bias less than predicate device when compared to reference." This implies the FT-100A met or exceeded the accuracy of the predicate against the reference."clinical repeatability... statistically and clinically acceptable (less than 0.3 deg C or 0.58 deg F)."
Accuracy (Object Mode)± 1°C (±2°F) from 0°C (32°F) to 100°C (212°F) (From Predicate)FOR OBJECT MODE:± 4°C (±7.2°F) from 0°C (32°F) to 4.9°C (40.8°F)± 1°C (±2°F) from 5.0°C (32°F) to 60.0°C (140.0°F)± 4°C (±7.2°F) from 60.1°C (140.1°F) to 100°C (199.9°F)
Clinical RepeatabilityDefined in ASTM E1965-98 (Reapproved 2009) as "clinical acceptability" (not explicitly quantified for predicate, but implied by standard compliance)."statistically and clinically acceptable (less than 0.3 deg C or 0.58 deg F)."
Compliance with StandardsISO 80601-2-56:2009, ASTM E1965-98(Reapproved 2009) (and others for biocompatibility, electrical safety, EMC)Passed all listed standards (ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10, ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, ISO 80601-2-56, ASTM E1965-98).

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Sample Size for Test Set: The text states, "A clinical investigation was performed to evaluate the clinical accuracy and clinical repeatability on the following three age groups: 0-12 months- <5 years, and 5 years and older." However, the exact number of subjects or measurements in the test set for this clinical investigation is not specified.
  • Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin of the clinical data. It is a submission by a company in Hangzhou, China, but the location of the clinical trial is not mentioned. It is a prospective study, as it describes a "clinical investigation" that was "performed."

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

Not applicable. This device is a thermometer, and "ground truth" for temperature is established by a reference thermometer, not by expert interpretation. The reference was the "Reference SureTemp Plus Oral/Rectal and Axillary Contact Thermometer in the monitoring mode (K030580)."

4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not applicable, as ground truth is established by a reference thermometer, not by expert consensus where adjudication would be necessary.

5. 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

Not applicable. This is a medical device for measuring temperature, not an AI/ML diagnostic tool that involves human readers interpreting output.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Yes, in essence. The device (infrared thermometer FT-100A) measures temperature directly. The clinical investigation compared its readings to a reference thermometer. This is a "device only" performance evaluation, as there is no human-in-the-loop component for reading the thermometer itself.

7. The type of ground truth used

The ground truth for the clinical accuracy and repeatability study was established by a reference clinical thermometer: "Reference SureTemp Plus Oral/Rectal and Axillary Contact Thermometer in the monitoring mode (K030580)."

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This device is an infrared thermometer, not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a "training set" in the conventional sense. Its function is based on physical principles of infrared radiation detection, not on machine learning from a dataset.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable (see point 8).

5. Description :

The Universal Infrared Forehead Thermometer, Model FT-100A is a non-contact thermometer which infers temperature from the blackbody radiation emitted from the patient. Temperature is calculated from the knowledge of the amount of infrared energy emitted from the human body.

The design consists of a lens to focus the infrared thermal radiation on to a detector, which converts the radiant power to an electrical signal that can be displayed in units of temperature after being compensated for ambient temperature. This permits temperature measurement from a distance without contact with the object to be measured.

There are some specific limitations to the use of the FT-100A.

It is suggested that a control measurement using a conventional thermometer is recommended in the following cases if the reading is surprisingly low, for new-born infants up to 100 days old or for children under three years of age who have a weakened immune system or who react unusually in the presence or absence of fever

6. Indication for use:

The FT-100A Electronic thermometer is an Infrared thermometer which uses an infrared sensor to detect human body temperature of patients of all ages. It is intended to be used on forehead to detect body temperature. The FT-100A is intended for home use.

  1. Comparison with predicate device:

Hangzhou Universal Electronic Co., Ltd. believes that the Infrared Forehead Thermometer, FT-100A is substantially equivalent to the (K122221) Nexus Ir30 Non-Contact Infrared Forehead Thermometer (TaiDoc Technology Corporation).

There are differences between the Indications For Use between the predicate TaiDoc Technology Corporation device and the submitted Hangzhou FT-100A device. The difference is simply different grammatical approaches to state that the same point. Both Indication For Use statements state the intended use is to take body temperature from an Infrared device on the same patient population in the same environment.

    1. Clinical: A clinical investigation was performed to evaluate the clinical accuracy and clinical repeatability on the following three age groups: 0-12 months- <5 years, and 5 years and older in accordance with ASTM E1965-98 (Reapproved 2009) to compare the Infrared Forehead Thermometer, FT-100A (test thermometer) with the predicate Nexus IR30 Thermometer (TD-1265) (K122221).
      This clinical investigation demonstrated that the Infrared Forehead Thermometer, FT-100A is as safe and effective as predicate device, Nexus IR30 Thermometer, TD-1265 (K122221) in all age groups with respect to the bias and standard deviation in comparison to the Reference SureTemp Plus Oral/Rectal and Axillary Contact Thermometer in the monitoring mode (K030580). The temperatures obtained with the test Infrared Forehead Thermometer were equivalent when compared to the predicate device, where temperatures were measured in the oral mode (for children above 5 years) and axillary mode (for children under 5 years). The clinical bias with stated uncertainty and clinical repeatability as defined in the ASTM E1965-98 (Reapproved 2009) standard were within clinical acceptability (bias less than predicate device when compared to reference). The clinical repeatability of the Infrared Forehead Thermometer, FT-100A was statistically and clinically acceptable (less than 0.3 deg C or 0.58 deg F).

The design of the submitted device specifications is substantially the same as the predicate, with minor differences in the storage humidity range.

All the labeling and characteristics of the submitted OTC Infrared Forehead Thermometer, FT-100A are the same as the predicate devices and most typical OTC Infrared Forehead Thermometers currently on the market. The submitted device and predicate both are used for measuring patient temperatures and also to measure object temperatures.

    1. Conclusions:
      In accordance with the Federal Food. Drug and Cosmetic Act. 21 CFR Part 807 and based on the information provided in this premarket notification Hangzhou Universal Electronic Co., Ltd. concludes that the Infrared Forehead Thermometer, FT-100A are substantially equivalent to predicate devices as described herein.
    1. Hangzhou Universal Electronic Co., Ltd. will update and include in a summary any other information deemed seasonably necessary by the FDA.
