The description details a standard infrared thermometer with basic electronic signal processing and Bluetooth transmission. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any complex algorithms beyond converting sensor data to a temperature value.
No
This device is an electronic clinical thermometer used to measure and monitor body temperature, which is a diagnostic tool, not a therapeutic one. It does not provide treatment or therapy.
No
Explanation: The device is described as an electronic clinical thermometer used to measure and monitor body temperature. While temperature can be an indicator of health, the device itself is a measurement tool and does not provide a diagnosis. The description explicitly states that the accompanying app "has no clinical intention."
No
The device description clearly states it is a hand-held, battery-powered electronic thermometer with an infrared sensor and electronic circuitry, indicating it is a hardware device. While it has a companion app, the core temperature measurement functionality is performed by the hardware.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The Swaive Thermometer SWT1A measures body temperature directly from the auditory canal using infrared technology. It does not analyze any specimens taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to measure and monitor body temperature, which is a direct physiological measurement, not an analysis of a biological sample.
Therefore, while it is a medical device used for clinical purposes, it falls outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Device Description
The Swaive Thermometer SWT1A is a hand-held, battery-powered electronic thermometer which uses an infrared sensor to detect body temperature from the auditory canal. It is an infrared ear thermometer with disposable probe cover. It measures the thermal infrared radiation emitted from the tympanic membrane and the surrounding tissue by the sensor inside the probe. The electronic signal of sensor is amplified, calculated, converted into temperature value, and then displayed on LED board by the electronic circuit inside. It only takes a few seconds for the whole measurement process.
Besides the temperature measurement circuit, a Bluetooth circuit is embedded in SWT1A to transmit the temperature value to smart phone via the specified App "Swaive Thermometer". This App only stores the temperature value on the smart phone if needed and has no clinical intention. SWT1A is a stand-alone device. It measures ear temperature and displays on its LED display with or without connecting with smart phone.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Controlled human clinical study was conducted in accordance with ASTM E1965-98:2016. Clinical tests were conducted on the subject device SWT1A. The clinical tests evaluated 165 subjects which were divided into three group age ranges-infant (new born to 1 year), children (greater than 1 to 5 years old) and greater than 5 years old. There are more than 30 subjects for each group. The clinical performance test protocol and data analysis is conducted as the requirement of ASTM E1965-98 (2016). The test report showed the clinical performance of the subject device complied with the requirement of ASTM E1965-98 (2016).

The differences between 2 devices are:
- The memory of subject device has zero, but the predict K110559 has 10 memories. The devices measure temperature independently every time. The previous measurement will not affect new measurement and whether the device stores temperature reading does not affect new measurement.

- The subject device uses disposable probe cover, but the predicate K110559 does not, and they have different patient-contacting materials. The subject device uses a disposable probe cover to provide a sanitary barrier between a subject and the probe. The non-clinical and clinical tests demonstrate the performance of this subject device using a probe cover complies with ASTM E1965-98 (2016) as the predicate device. According to ISO10993-1, the disposable probe cover has passed the relative biocompatibility tests and does not raise new biocompatibility issue.
From above discussion, the difference between these two devices does not raise any new performance issue.
7. Non-Clinical Testing:
The following non-clinical tests were conducted according to FDA recognized consensus standards or USA regulations, and software verification and validation data was completed as recommended in the FDA guidance document "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices dated May 11, 2005". All these tests results are provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

8. Clinical Testing:
Controlled human clinical study was conducted in accordance with ASTM E1965-98:2016. Clinical tests were conducted on the subject device SWT1A. The clinical tests evaluated 165 subjects which were divided into three group age ranges-infant (new born to 1 year), children (greater than 1 to 5 years old) and greater than 5 years old. There are more than 30 subjects for each group. The clinical performance test protocol and data analysis is conducted as the requirement of ASTM E1965-98 (2016). The test report showed the clinical performance of the subject device complied with the requirement of ASTM E1965-98 (2016).
9. Conclusions:
The subject device SWT1A and the predicate device K110559 have similar indications for use. They use the same technology and have the same principal of operation. These performance tests demonstrate the differences between the subject device and predicate K110559 do not raise new performance question. Based on the comparison and analysis above, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
