No
The description details a calculation based on converting a direct temperature reading to an oral equivalent, which is a standard algorithmic process, not indicative of AI/ML. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like training/test sets.
No
The device is described as a clinical thermometer intended for the intermittent determination of human body temperature. It measures temperature, but does not provide any treatment or therapy.
Yes.
The device is intended for the "intermittent determination of human body temperature," which is a measurement used to aid in clinical diagnosis. While it doesn't diagnose a specific disease, temperature measurement is a key diagnostic parameter.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "hand-held device powered by batteries" and includes hardware components like a thermopile, thermistor, and optoelectronic mechanism.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that this thermometer measures human body temperature directly from the forehead without contact. It does not analyze blood, urine, tissue, or any other bodily specimen.
- The measurement is taken directly from the body. The device measures infrared energy emitted from the forehead, which is a direct measurement from the living body, not an analysis of a sample taken from the body.
Therefore, the Infrared Non-Contact Thermometer, ACT8100, is a medical device, but it falls under the category of a clinical thermometer used for direct physiological measurement, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Infrared Non-Contact Thermometer, ACT8100 is a hand-held device powered by batteries and designed to measure human body temperature without contacting patients. This thermometer can switch modes between forehead and ambient temperatures. The ambient temperature mode is DIRECT MODE and the forehead temperature mode is ADJUSTED MODE. The forehead temperature of the ADJUSTED MODE is calculated by converting the measured temperature of the DIRECT MODE to an oral equivalent temperature without contacting the patient's forehead. Infrared Non-Contact Thermometer, ACT8100 uses a thermopile integrated with a thermistor, a thermistor mounted on the head of the thermometer for ambient temperature readings, and an optoelectronic mechanism that focuses the infrared energy emitted from the user s forehead for the detection of noncontact use and calibration of temperature reading.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
A clinical study was performed to determine the clinical accuracy and to provide comparison with the predicate device. The three groups of subjects being tested were: (1) Infants of under 1 year old, (2) Children between 1 to 5 years old, (3) Adults
Each group of subjects underwent a series of temperature measurement at their forehead and back of ear using ACT 8100 and BRUAN Infrared no touch + forehead thermometer NTF 3000. This series of measurement was intended to indicate and ultimately compare the repeatability of ACT 8100 and NTF 3000. The repeatability of both devices is found to be under 0.3℃. which is within the acceptable range as required by EN12470-5:2003, subclause 6.3.4. In addition, the repeatability of the both devices were found to be similar, further indicating that the ACT 8100 has reasonable accuracy and reliability. The three subject groups underwent a series of temperature measurement using the reference thermometer, Actherm Digital Clinical Thermometer ACT 2130 (K031905), either at the rectal, oral, or axillary site depending on their age group. These temperature measurements were then each compared to the temperature measurements taken by ACT 8100 and that of NTF 3000. The clinical biases of these measurements taken by ACT 8100 were found to be similar to that of NTF 3000, indicating that ACT 8100 produces effective and accurate temperature measurements.

repeatability of both devices is found to be under 0.3℃.

X. Clinical Testing
A clinical study was performed to determine the clinical accuracy and to provide comparison with the predicate device. The three groups of subjects being tested were: (1) Infants of under 1 year old, (2) Children between 1 to 5 years old, (3) Adults
Each group of subjects underwent a series of temperature measurement at their forehead and back of ear using ACT 8100 and BRUAN Infrared no touch + forehead thermometer NTF 3000. This series of measurement was intended to indicate and ultimately compare the repeatability of ACT 8100 and NTF 3000. The repeatability of both devices is found to be under 0.3℃. which is within the acceptable range as required by EN12470-5:2003, subclause 6.3.4. In addition, the repeatability of the both devices were found to be similar, further indicating that the ACT 8100 has reasonable accuracy and reliability. The three subject groups underwent a series of temperature measurement using the reference thermometer, Actherm Digital Clinical Thermometer ACT 2130 (K031905), either at the rectal, oral, or axillary site depending on their age group. These temperature measurements were then each compared to the temperature measurements taken by ACT 8100 and that of NTF 3000. The clinical biases of these measurements taken by ACT 8100 were found to be similar to that of NTF 3000, indicating that ACT 8100 produces effective and accurate temperature measurements.
XI. Conclusion
Infrared Non-Contact Thermometers, ACT8100 has similar intended use, principles of operation, and similar technological characteristics as the predicate device identified. Performance testing contained in this submission demonstrates the minor differences in technological characteristics between the subject device and the predicate do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. Results from the clinical study demonstrate substantial equivalence of accuracy and reliability of ACT 8100 and its similarity with NTF 3000. Thus, the Infrared Non-Contact Thermometer is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
