K123361 – ESOTEST Esophageal Temperature Probe and Temperature Monitoring System
Not Found
No
The device description and performance studies focus on standard temperature measurement and alarm functions, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
No.
The device is for monitoring and detecting esophageal temperature, not for therapeutic intervention or treatment.
Yes
The device is intended for the continuous detection, measurement, and visualization of esophageal temperature, and can emit alarm signals if temperatures fall outside of set thresholds. This continuous monitoring and alerting function by measuring a physiological parameter in a patient for the purpose of identifying potential medical conditions or changes aligns with the definition of a diagnostic device.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components: a monitor, an esophageal probe, and a patient cable. The performance studies also include testing related to hardware, such as electrical safety, EMC, sterilization, and biological evaluation of the probe.
Based on the provided information, the ESOTEST MULTI Temperature Monitoring System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to obtain information for diagnostic or monitoring purposes.
- ESOTEST MULTI Function: The ESOTEST MULTI system directly measures the temperature of the patient's esophagus in vivo (within the living body). It does not analyze specimens taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "continuous detection, measurement and visualization (in °C) of esophageal temperature," which is a direct physiological measurement, not an analysis of a biological sample.
Therefore, the ESOTEST MULTI Temperature Monitoring System falls under the category of a medical device that performs a direct physiological measurement, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The ESOTEST MULTI Temperature Monitoring System is composed of ESOTEST MULTI Monitor and ESOTEST MULTI Probe and is intended for the continuous detection, measurement and visualization (in °C) of esophageal temperature. The intended environments of use are operating rooms and interventional electrophysiology rooms.
The ESOTEST MULTI Monitor must be used in conjunction with the ESOTEST MULTI Probe.

Device Description
The ESOTEST MULTI Temperature Monitoring System is composed of the following device components:
- Monitor ESOTEST MULTI MONITOR
- Esophageal probe ESOTEST MULTI PROBE
- Patient cable ESOTEST MULTI PATIENT CABLE
The LCD display of ESOTEST MULTI monitor shows the temperatures detected by the thermocouple sensors located in the probe, which is measuring the temperature of the patient's esophagus. Temperatures are displayed as numeric values and as scrolling plots. The user is able to set the value of an upper alarm threshold and that of a lower alarm threshold. If any measured temperature exceeds the upper alarm threshold or falls below the lower alarm threshold, ESOTEST MULTI monitor immediately emits visual and audible alarm signals.
The ESOTEST MULTI esophageal probe has a 7 French body equipped with 11 French sensors and is intended for the detection of esophageal temperature at multiple locations. The probe is connected to the monitor by ESOTEST MULTI patient cable.

Substantial Equivalence Discussion
The ESOTEST MULTI Temperature Monitoring System is intended for the same use as the predicate device. The differences between the ESOTEST MULTI Temperature Monitoring System and the predicate device are listed and discussed in the table below:.
Difference | Impact on safety and effectiveness |
---|---|
ESOTEST MULTI makes use of an external power supply (included in the package of ESOTEST | The adoption of a medical grade external power supply and of a custom locking connector does not introduce new |
Difference | Impact on safety and effectiveness |
MULTI monitor) | questions of safety and effectiveness. It has been verified by |
testing the power supply system together with the device | |
according to the requirements of the applicable Electrical | |
Safety standards, | |
ESOTEST MULTI has a larger measurement range | The larger measurement range does not introduce new |
questions of safety and effectiveness. It has been verified | |
though performance accuracy testing. | |
ESOTEST MULTI probe has 5 to 7 sensors instead | |
of 3 as the probe of the predicate device | The greater number of sensors allows the device to monitor |
a longer portion of esophagus temperature and does not | |
introduce new questions of safety and effectiveness. The | |
probes were verified through performance testing. | |
ESOTEST MULTI makes use of a touch screen | |
user interface instead of employing LED displays | |
and physical buttons as the predicate device | The adoption of an LCD display with adequate size and |
brightness, along with the capacitive touch screen. This | |
does not introduce new questions of safety and | |
effectiveness. | |
ESOTEST MULTI has a lower alarm threshold in | |
addition to the upper alarm threshold of the | |
predicate device | The presence of a second alarm threshold allows the user to |
employ the alarm both during heating and cooling | |
treatments. This does not introduce new questions of safety | |
and effectiveness. The alarm thresholds were validated | |
through performance testing and the software was | |
verified/validated. | |
ESOTEST MULTI can tolerate a slightly larger | |
mains supply voltage range | This does not introduce new questions of safety and |
effectiveness. It has been verified by testing the device in | |
the mains supply rated voltage range, according to | |
requirements of applicable Electrical Safety standards | |
The main unit of ESOTEST MULTI is smaller and | |
lighter and the interconnection cables are longer | |
than the corresponding components of the predicate | |
device | The fact that the main unit is smaller and lighter does not |
introduce new questions of safety and effectiveness. | |
ESOTEST MULTI measures and displays the | |
temperature detected by 5 to 7 sensors instead of 3 | |
as the predicate device | The LCD display of the greater number of sensors does not |
introduce new questions of safety and effectiveness. |
l Response time is defined as the mean value of the measured time intervals associated to temperature increase (tr) or to temperature decrease (tf) necessary to cover the 63.3% of the total temperature excursion.
