The description focuses on standard infrared temperature measurement and basic software functions like displaying instructions, providing color-coded output based on a threshold, and sending email alerts. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing for complex analysis, or training/test data sets typically associated with AI/ML models.
No.
The device is a non-contact infrared forehead thermometer used to measure body temperature, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It does not treat or alleviate any medical condition.
Yes.
The device is intended to measure body temperature, which is a physiological parameter used in health assessment. While it's a screening tool, the output (red/green background, suggestion for alternate evaluation) indicates its role in identifying potential health issues, classifying it as a diagnostic device.
No
The device description explicitly states it uses an infrared sensor and is offered as a desktop or kiosk model with a display screen and IR camera, indicating it includes hardware components beyond just software.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Definition of IVD: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- WelloStationX Function: The WelloStationX measures body temperature directly from the forehead using infrared technology. It does not analyze any biological specimens taken from the individual.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the welloStationX is a medical device, specifically a non-contact infrared thermometer, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The welloStationX is a non-contact infrared forehead thermometer intended for use to measure of individuals over 5 years of age and older. The welloStationX can be used by medical professionals or laypersons in any public or private indoor facility with environmental conditions maintained within 15°C to 28°C (59°F to 82.4°F), 20 -70% RH non-condensing.

Device Description
The welloStationX uses an infrared sensor to measure human body temperature. It is offered as a desktop or kiosk model.
The WSX consists of a display screen with an IR camera mounted to the top of the display screen. The display screen provides instructions to subjects being screened. Both the kiosk and desktop model operate in the same manner. The subject reads and follows the on-screen instructions to position themselves in the correct location approximately 10 inches from the WSX. In 3 seconds, the WSX provides output of the subject's core body temperature.
Each temperature reading will be output with either a green background or a red background. Temperature displayed with a red background will also include a prompt to obtain a second temperature evaluation using an alternate method. The facility can select the action threshold or use the default threshold above which the reading will be displayed with a red background. Users can receive email alerts for any subject with a temperature reading displayed with a red background. For some features, an active internet connection is required.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
A Clinical accuracy validation of the welloStationX® based on ISO 80601-2-56 was conducted in 110 males and females aged 5 years of age and older. Temperature was measured using the WelloStationX and a Welch Allyn SureTemp oral thermometer. Each measurement was recorded by a trained technician following the instructions for use in the respective device labeling. The validation study demonstrated that the clinical accuracy of the welloStationX® was equivalent to the oral thermometer and reported values for the predicate device.
Additional tests included verification testing to internal functional specifications (including software) and side-by-side bench accuracy testing of the new device and the predicate device. Documentation was provided demonstrating compliance to FDA requirements stated in Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices, including results of verification/validation plus traceability of verification/validation tests to software requirements and software hazards. Testing was also conducted for compliance to:

Dear Alan C. Heller:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part
1
801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/CombinationProducts/GuidanceRegulatoryInformation/ucm597488.htm); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4.
