The device description and performance studies focus on basic temperature measurement technology (thermistor) and standard medical device testing (safety, performance, biocompatibility). There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance evaluation sections.
No.
The device is used for monitoring temperature, not for treatment or therapy. It acts as a diagnostic or monitoring tool.
No.
The device is used for monitoring temperature, which is a measurement function, not a diagnostic one that identifies or determines the nature of a disease or condition.
No
The device description explicitly states the probes consist of a connector and a thermistor, which are hardware components. The working principle is based on the resistance of a metal conductor, indicating a physical measurement process, not purely software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "monitoring temperature for multi-patient use" or "monitoring temperature for single patient use." This is a direct measurement of a physiological parameter (body temperature) in vivo (within the living body), not an analysis of samples in vitro (outside the living body).
- Device Description: The description clearly states the device is used for "patient temperature measurement" and describes a probe with a thermistor that is applied to the patient.
- Working Principle: The working principle is based on the resistance of a metal conductor changing with temperature, which is a physical measurement, not a chemical or biological analysis of a sample.
- Anatomical Site: The anatomical sites listed (Skin, Esophageal, and Rectal) are all locations within the patient's body.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on safety, essential performance (accuracy of temperature measurement), and biocompatibility, which are typical for devices that interact directly with the patient's body. There are no studies related to analyzing biological samples.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device directly measures a physiological parameter of the patient.

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.

Dear Fei Liu:
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.

Note 1
The compatible monitors of proposed devices are different from those of the predicate devices. The core component of temperature probes in the subject devices is Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) which is identical to the NTC used in the predicate devices. The performance bench testing in accordance with ISO 80601-2-56 for all models of the subject devices with compatible monitors were conducted and the requirements. The NTC determines the accuracy and range of temperature measurement. The difference does not raise new questions of safety and

effectiveness.
Note 2
Both the subject device and the K181967 predicate device measure differences in resistance and equate that to changes in temperature. Therefore, the operating principles are actually the same.
Note 3
Although nasopharyngeal as a measurement site is excluded in the sites of proposed devices, our disposable temperature probes have been compared with the predicate disposable temperature probes in intended use, working principle, construct, material, safety and performance standard, etc., such a removal of measurement site doesn't affect the substantial equivalence among other items, nor does it affect the equivalent comparison between proposed device and predicate device in measurement sites including skin, esophageal and rectal. The difference does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
Note 4
Although patient-contacting materials are different for proposed devices and predicate devices, all of them are complied with ISO 10993-5 and ISO 10993-10. The differences do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
Note 5
Although some specifications of operating & storage conditions are different for proposed devices and predicate devices, they are all complied with IEC 60601-1 and ISO 80601-2-56. The differences do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
Note 6
EN 12470-4 as old performance standard was replaced by new performance standard ISO 80601-2-56. Therefore, all of them met the applicable performance requirements. The differences do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
9. Non-clinical Test
A series of safety, essential performance and biocompatibility tests were performed to assess the safety and effectiveness of Med-link Temperature Probes. The tests listed above were conducted in accordance with IEC 60601-1 Medical electrical equipment-Part 1: General requirements for basic safety, and essential performance, Compatibility testing with monitors, ISO 80601-2-56 Medical equipment-Part 2-56: Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of clinical thermometers for body temperature measurement.

No clinical studies were performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
11. Conclusion
Based on the comparison and analysis in this submission, it can be concluded that: Med-link Temperature Probes are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
