2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document states: "Clinical testing was not required to establish equivalency of the device." This implies that no specific test set involving human subjects with associated sample sizes was used for demonstrating the performance of the device against a clinical ground truth. The acceptance is based on compliance with international standards and comparison to a predicate device.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
Since "Clinical testing was not required," there would be no experts establishing ground truth for a clinical test set in the context of this 510(k) submission.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable, as no clinical test set requiring expert adjudication was described.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
No. The document explicitly states "Clinical testing was not required." Therefore, no MRMC study, or any study involving human readers, was conducted or reported.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
The device is a digital thermometer, not an AI/algorithm-based diagnostic tool that would typically undergo "standalone" algorithm performance testing in the sense of image recognition or diagnostic algorithms. Its "performance" refers to its accuracy, response time, and compliance with technical standards, which were evaluated through bench testing and compliance with various engineering and safety standards (e.g., electrical safety, EMC, biocompatibility) rather than a standalone algorithm performance independent of a human operator interpreting its output. While the device does have software/firmware and can connect to a mobile app, its primary function as a thermometer relies on its sensor and internal processing, which is verified through the listed engineering standards.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established by physical standards and measurement traceability in laboratories and testing facilities that verify compliance with standards like ISO 80601-2-56 for clinical thermometers. For accuracy, this would involve comparing the device's readings against calibrated reference thermometers under controlled environmental conditions. For other aspects like electrical safety, EMC, and biocompatibility, the ground truth is defined by the specific test methods and limits outlined in the relevant IEC/ISO standards.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This device is a digital thermometer, not a machine learning model that requires a training set of data.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.

Conclusions: 11.
Based on the information provided in this submission, the submit Digital thermometer DMT-4735b is substantially equivalent to the predicate Thermometers
§ 880.2910 Clinical electronic thermometer.
(a)
Identification. A clinical electronic thermometer is a device used to measure the body temperature of a patient by means of a transducer coupled with an electronic signal amplification, conditioning, and display unit. The transducer may be in a detachable probe with or without a disposable cover.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in part 807, subpart E of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 880.9 and the following conditions for exemption:(1) Device is not a clinical thermometer with telethermographic functions;
(2) Device is not a clinical thermometer with continuous temperature measurement functions; and
(3) Appropriate analysis and testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized editions, as appropriate, of ISO 80601-2-56, “Medical electrical equipment—Part 2-56: Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of clinical thermometers for body temperature measurement,” or ASTM E1965, “Standard Specification for Infrared Thermometers for Intermittent Determination of Patient Temperature,” or ASTM E1112, “Standard Specification for Electronic Thermometer for Intermittent Determination of Patient Temperature,” or ASTM E1104, “Standard Specification for Clinical Thermometer Probe Covers and Sheaths”) must validate specifications and performance of the device.
