Intended Use
The Infrared Thermometer is intended for the measurement of human body temperatures. The forehead mode is indicated for people of all ages and the tympanic mode is indicated for people above three months old. The device can be used in the home setting and medical institutes.
Device Description
FC-IR series infrared thermometers (Models: FC-IR100, FC-IR101, FC-IR200, FC-IR300, FC-IR400) measure the body temperature through receiving infrared energy radiation via the ear or forehead. These thermometers have the capability to measure temperature via forehead temperature mode or ear temperature mode, and the temperature is directly shown on the LCD display. The device is intended to be used in the home setting and medical institutes. The product is mainly composed of infrared temperature sensors, signal receiving processor, buttons, buzzer, LCD display. It is powered by 2 X 1.5 AAA batteries. It focuses the infrared energy received from the human's forehead or ear by using the Fresnel lens of the thermometer. In addition, when measuring the ear temperature, the ear cover must be used by all thermometer models except for the FC-IR200. FC-IR101 model incorporates Bluetooth technology to wirelessly transmit temperature reading to an APP.

No
The description focuses on standard infrared temperature measurement technology and signal processing, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms for interpretation or analysis. The Bluetooth feature is for data transmission, not AI/ML processing.

No
A therapeutic device is one that treats or manages a disease or condition. This device is an infrared thermometer, which is used for measurement and diagnosis, not for therapy.

No
The device is an infrared thermometer for measuring body temperature. While temperature can be an indicator of health, the device itself only measures a physiological parameter and does not provide a diagnosis of a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as infrared temperature sensors, signal receiving processor, buttons, buzzer, LCD display, Fresnel lens, and batteries. It also mentions an ear cover and, for one model, Bluetooth technology for wireless transmission, indicating a physical device with integrated software, not a software-only device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. These tests are performed outside of the living body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The Infrared Thermometer described measures human body temperature by receiving infrared energy radiation from the forehead or ear. This is a direct measurement of a physiological parameter on the living body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "measurement of human body temperatures," which is a direct physiological measurement, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Infrared Thermometer is a medical device, but it falls under the category of a non-IVD device.
