Intended Use

The Reusable Temperature Probes are intended to be used for monitoring temperature. The temperature probes are reusable and designed for use with monitors of Nihon Kohden model BSM-5135A. These devices are indicated for used by qualified medical personnel only.

Device Description

Reusable temperature probes are used during patient temperature measurement for multi-patient use. These probes consist of a phone plug connector on the monitor end and a thermistor on the patient end. Temperature probes measure temperature by a resistor that is sensitive to temperature changes. These probes are connected to the patient monitor either directly by using a phono plug or by an interconnect cable. These probes have a skin or core contact with a patient.

These temperature probes are typically used with legacy Nihon Kohden monitors BSM-5135A.

Products are packed individually into a plastic bag in non-sterile condition. Package label describes product LOT codes, CE-mark, legal entity information and a caution "Rx Only ".

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the performance data for the Reusable Temperature Probe (Models: TRAG-2252, TRAS-2252, TRCG-2252 and TRCS-2252) in support of its substantial equivalence determination.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the text:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

Chemical Disinfection Agent ResidueNon-Cytotoxicity according to ISO 10993-5 (after disinfection)Pass
BiocompatibilityComplies with ISO 10993-1 (Cytotoxicity, Skin Sensitization, Skin Irritation, Rectal Irritation)Pass (no cytotoxicity, negligible irritation, no sensitization)

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

The document does not explicitly state the sample size used for performance testing (e.g., how many probes were tested) nor does it specify the provenance (e.g., country of origin) of the data. It indicates that "All subject devices were conducted performance testing according to ISO 80601-2-56" and references "Laboratory accuracy" and "Time response" results as well as biocompatibility testing. The nature of these tests (e.g. for electrical safety and accuracy) suggests they are conducted in a laboratory setting, not on patient data.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

This section is not applicable as the device is a temperature probe, and the performance testing described is objective measurement against standards and physical characteristics, not expert interpretation of diagnostic images or clinical scenarios requiring ground truth establishment by experts.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

This section is not applicable for the reasons stated above. Adjudication methods are typically relevant for studies involving human interpretation (e.g., radiologists reading images) where disagreement among experts needs resolution.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

This section is not applicable. The device is a Reusable Temperature Probe, which is a physical measurement device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

This section is not applicable, as the device is a temperature probe and does not involve an algorithm for diagnostic interpretation. Its performance is inherent in its design and manufacturing.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

For the performance metrics (accuracy, time response, safety, EMC) of the temperature probe, the "ground truth" is established by objective measurement against the specified international standards (e.g., ISO 80601-2-56 for accuracy and time response, IEC 60601-1 for electrical safety, ISO 10993 series for biocompatibility). There is no "expert consensus" or "pathology" involved in determining if a physical temperature measurement falls within a specified range.

8. The sample size for the training set

This section is not applicable. The device is a Reusable Temperature Probe, which is a hardware medical device, not an AI algorithm that requires a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

This section is not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.

Justifications for differences between Reusable Temperature Probe and the predicate device are shown as below:

Different (1): The accuracy is different from the predicate device. All subject devices were conducted performance testing according to ISO 80601-2-56. The accuracy is within the requirement from the standard. Thus, different accuracy does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness for the subject device.

Different (2): The only difference between adult probe and pediatric probe is physical size of the cable diameter. All subject devices were conducted performance testing according to ISO 80601-2-56. Thus, different patient population does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness for the subject device.

Different (3): It's different with the patient contacted material of predicate device. However, it's conformed with ISO 10993 series standard. According to analysis results, all the Patient Contacting Materials shows no cytotoxicity, irritation response was negligible and no sensitization. Thus, different material does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness for the subject device. Different (4): It's different with the plug material of predicate device. However, it's conformed with ISO 10993 series standard. According to analysis results, all the materials shows no cytotoxicity, irritation response was negligible and no sensitization. Thus, different material of plug does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness for the subject device.

Different (5): The compatible monitors of proposed devices are different from the predicate device. The proposed devices are intended to use with Nihon Kohden monitors and the predicate devices are intended to use with Philips, Marquette, Mindray, Spacelabs, Siemens, Artema/S&W and other monitors. The core component of temperature probe is Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC)

{6}------------------------------------------------

which is identical to the NTC used in predicate device. The NTC determines the accuracy and range of temperature measurement. All subject devices were conducted performance testing according to ISO 80601-2-56. The difference does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness for the subject device.

8. Performance Data

The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
