More Information

No
The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the device description and performance studies do not indicate the use of AI/ML.

No
The device measures body temperature, which is a diagnostic tool, but does not claim to treat, mitigate, or prevent disease.

No

Explanation: The device is an infrared ear thermometer designed to measure body temperature. While temperature measurement can be an input to a diagnostic process, the device itself only provides a measurement and does not interpret that measurement to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "hand-held non-contact infrared thermometer, battery powered," indicating it is a physical hardware device that uses infrared technology to measure temperature. While it includes software verification and validation, it is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices that are used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The YUWELL® Infrared ear thermometer measures body temperature by detecting infrared radiation emitted from the ear cavity. It does not analyze any biological specimens taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to display body temperature, which is a direct measurement of a physiological parameter, not an analysis of a sample.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the YUWELL® Infrared ear thermometer falls under the category of a clinical thermometer, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

DISCUSSION OF DIFFERENCES

Note IDJustification
Note
and
No.2According to the literature 'Temperature Control in Preterm
Infants-Effect of Birthweight and Gestational Agenei, preterm
babies has a lower body temperature than a normal fetus just after
birth. Therefore, in order to reduce the risk of the product, the
scope of the applicable group of people has been narrowed down
to exclude: preterm babies and newborns (1-29 days old).The
subject device has a narrow applicable population and it will not
raise any new or different safety or effectiveness risks.
Note
and
No.4The measurement range of the predicate device is larger than that
of the subject device. The scale of clinical thermometer like
Mercury thermometer reads temperature from 35°C to 42°C. The
subject device measurement range is 34.0°C to 42.2°C meet the
normal clinical use. For the normal clinical measurement range of
34.0°C to 42.2°C, the accuracy of the subject device and the
predicate device are the same. So the measurement range and
accuracy difference does not bring additional clinical risks.
Note No. 5The subject device and the predicate device use different batteries.
The subject battery-related performance has been tested through
the applicable IEC standards, and the report proves that the subject
equipment powered by two AAA alkaline batteries is qualified.
Note No. 6The subject device has about 60 seconds automatic power off time
and it's longer than the 10 seconds of the predicate device. The
design purpose is to give the user more time to review or record the
data if needed. The difference will not raise any new safety or
effectiveness risk.
Note
and
No.8Although the operation and storage conditions of the subject device
are slightly different from the predicate device, they meet the same
standard requirements of ISO 80601-2-56 and IEC 60601-1-11.
Therefore, the operating and storage conditions will not influence
the safety and effectiveness of the product.
Note No.9The difference of button doesn't influence function of the device
according to the performance test, which will not raise issues in
safety and effectiveness.
Note No.10In terms of the memory function, it is to help patients remember and
check the previous results, so this would not raise any safety and
efficacy problems.
