Intended Use
PlusCare Temperature Probes are intended to be used for monitoring temperature. The temperature probes are reusable and designed for use with monitors of Philips, Marquette, Mindray, Spacelabs, Siemens, Artema/S&W and other monitors compatible with YSI 400 series temperature probes. These devices are indicated for use by qualified medical personnel only.
Device Description
The Skin Temperature Probe and Rectum Temperature Probe are used during patient temperature measurement. These probes consist of a connector on the monitor end and a thermistor on the patient end. These probes are to be used with compatible temperature measurement systems only. Temperature probes measure temperature through a resistor that is sensitive to temperature changes. The probe is connected to the monitor either directly by using the connector or by an extension cable. These probes have a skin or core contact with a patient.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on standard temperature measurement technology (thermistors) and do not mention any AI or ML components or algorithms. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
The device is described as a temperature probe intended for monitoring temperature, not for providing therapeutic treatment.

No

Explanation: The device is used for monitoring temperature, which is a physiological parameter, not for diagnosing a disease or condition. While temperature can be a diagnostic indicator, the device itself only measures and does not interpret or diagnose.

No

The device description explicitly states that the probes consist of a connector and a thermistor, which are hardware components. The device also involves physical contact with the patient (skin or core).

Based on the provided information, 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 body.
  • Device Function: The PlusCare Temperature Probes are used for monitoring temperature by having direct contact with the patient's skin or rectum. This is a measurement taken on or within the body, not on a sample taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "monitoring temperature," which is a physiological measurement, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

Therefore, the function and intended use of the PlusCare Temperature Probes fall outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics. They are considered a medical device used for physiological monitoring.

Operating Principle:

The operating principle is resistance based on the metal conductor increases with temperature decrease, and the linear changes to the characteristics of the temperature measurement. It is to measure differences in resistance and equates that to changes intemperature.

Indications for Use:

PlusCare Temperature Probes are intended to be used for monitoring temperature. The temperature probes are reusable and designed for use with monitors of Philips, Marquette, Mindray, Spacelabs, Siemens, Artema/S&W and other monitors compatible with YSI 400 series temperature probes.

These devices are indicated for use by qualified medical personnel only.

Substantial Equivalence Discussion:

The subject and predicate devices are exactly the same. They have the same intended use, the same design principle, the same production process, and the same material composition. See the detailed comparison in the table below.
