AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a letter from the FDA regarding a 510(k) premarket notification for an infra-red forehead thermometer. It states that the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.

However, the text does not contain any information about:

  • Acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
  • The study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria.
  • Sample size used for the test set or data provenance.
  • Number of experts used to establish ground truth or their qualifications.
  • Adjudication method for the test set.
  • Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study or its effect size.
  • Standalone algorithm performance.
  • Type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.).
  • Sample size for the training set.
  • How the ground truth for the training set was established.

This document is a regulatory approval letter based on equivalence, not a detailed study report. Therefore, I cannot generate the requested information based on the provided text.

§ 880.2910 Clinical electronic thermometer.

(a)
Identification. A clinical electronic thermometer is a device used to measure the body temperature of a patient by means of a transducer coupled with an electronic signal amplification, conditioning, and display unit. The transducer may be in a detachable probe with or without a disposable cover.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in part 807, subpart E of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 880.9 and the following conditions for exemption:(1) Device is not a clinical thermometer with telethermographic functions;
(2) Device is not a clinical thermometer with continuous temperature measurement functions; and
(3) Appropriate analysis and testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized editions, as appropriate, of ISO 80601-2-56, “Medical electrical equipment—Part 2-56: Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of clinical thermometers for body temperature measurement,” or ASTM E1965, “Standard Specification for Infrared Thermometers for Intermittent Determination of Patient Temperature,” or ASTM E1112, “Standard Specification for Electronic Thermometer for Intermittent Determination of Patient Temperature,” or ASTM E1104, “Standard Specification for Clinical Thermometer Probe Covers and Sheaths”) must validate specifications and performance of the device.
