Intended Use
The AOJ-25 series Digital Thermometer (except AOJ-25B) are designed as reusable battery-operated electronic device, and intended for the measurement of oral, armpit and rectal temperature for people of all ages at home. The AOJ-25B is intended to measure temperature rectally only for people of all ages at home as well. The device is reusable.
Device Description
The digital thermometer is designed as hand-held device which can measure human body's temperature orally, axillary (under the arm), or rectally. The results can be displayed on LCD. The digital thermometers have several functions, such as beep indication, °C and °F unit switchable, low battery detection, memories, three-color backlight, auto automatic power off functions. The device is a predictive digital thermometer. Users only need 10 seconds for quick reading, and will display the temperature value on the screen.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a standard digital thermometer with predictive capabilities based on established standards (ISO 80601-2-56). There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the device description, performance studies, or training/test set descriptions. The "predictive" function likely refers to a simple algorithm based on temperature rise rate, not AI/ML.

No

The device is a digital thermometer used for measuring body temperature, not for treating or rehabilitating a disease or condition.

Yes

A digital thermometer, which measures body temperature, is used to aid in the diagnosis of various medical conditions, such as fever or hypothermia. This is a form of diagnostic information.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "hand-held device" and mentions physical components like an LCD screen and battery operation, indicating it is a hardware device with embedded software, not a software-only medical device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue that have been taken from the human body to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The AOJ-25 series Digital Thermometer measures human body temperature directly from the body (oral, armpit, rectal). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for measuring body temperature, not for analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a general medical device for measuring a physiological parameter, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

N/A

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The AOJ-25 series Digital Thermometer (except AOJ-25B) are designed as reusable battery-operated electronic device, and intended for the measurement of oral, armpit and rectal temperature for people of all ages at home.
The AOJ-25B is intended to measure temperature rectally only for people of all ages at home as well. The device is reusable.

Justification for the differences:

    1. Different Indications for Use
      As indicated in the comparison table, the application scenario of the predicate device can be used both in hospital and home, while the subject device can be used at home. The absence of application in clinical use reduces the operation risks, no raise of new questions on the safety and effectiveness.
    1. Different measurement range
      The subject device measurement range has been evaluated per the internal standards ISO 80601-2-56, the results tell the accuracy can be matched as claimed, no extra risk will be introduced due to the minor difference.
    1. Different Operation, storage, and transportation Environments
      Minor difference to operation and storage and transportation environments for the subject device, but the system has been proved to be safe and effective since the safety testing was conducted under the suggested environment; Moreover, environment testing data shows the device can work as declared under the suggested conditions. So those changes will not cause any safety and effectiveness problem.
    1. Different Physical Specifications
      The subject and the predicate are of different size but proximity. Moreover, such engineering design has been verified during the international standards, so such minor different ill not raise any safety and effectiveness questions.
    1. Different Patient Contacting Materials
      Minor different material used for the housing, but both comply with the same standards, and evaluated to be safe after the biocompatibility testing as defined in Annex I of ISO 10993-1. Therefore, this material difference will not cause any safety and effectiveness problem.

As seen in the comparison tables, the subject and predicate devices have almost the same design features and performance specifications. The differences between the subject and predicate devices do not raise different

6

questions of safety oreffectiveness. Moreover, as demonstrated in the bench testing, the different technological characteristics do not affect the safety and effectiveness of the subject device.

8. Performance Testing:

Performance data includes "Non-Clinical Data", brief description of which are shown as below.

Non-Clinical Data:

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

Biocompatibility testing

The biocompatibility evaluation for the digital thermometer were conducted in accordance with the International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process," as recognized by FDA. The contact classification is considered mucosalmembrane contacting for a duration of less than 24 hours. The battery of testing included the following tests:

  • Cytotoxicity
  • Skin Sensitization
  • Skin Irritation

Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

Electrical safety andEMC testing were conducted on the digital thermometer device. The device complies with the IEC 60601-1 Medical electrical equipment Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance for safety, IEC 60601-1-11 MEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT - Part 1-11: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral Standard: Requirements for medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems used in the home healthcare environment, and the IEC 60601-1-2 Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-2: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic disturbances - Requirements and tests standard for EMC.

Bench Testing

Bench testing was conducted on the digital thermometer device, consisting of all the accessories in the system. The system complies with the 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 for performance effectiveness.

Software Verification and Validation Testing

Software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device was considered as a "moderate" level of concern.

Clinical data:

The CLINICAL ACCURACY in each adjusted mode was validated per the requirements defined in clause 201.102 of international standard ISO 80601-2-56. This clinical study is a randomization, simple blind homologous control, pairing design of clinical investigation, consists of a minimum of 90 subjects as required, and divided into four age groups as defined in Table 201.102 of the standard shown as below.

Age groupAge[11]
A10 up to 3 months
A23 months up to 1 year
Bolder than 1 year and younger than 5 years
Colder than 5 years

Table 201.102 - Subject age groups

No single measurement error exceeding the allowable limit, provides a 99% confidence. A reference device is introduced as required by the standard, and the acceptance criteria is that clinical accuracy of the subject device is at least the same as that of the reference, and the accuracy is ±0.1℃ as claimed in the manual.

Summary

Based on the non-clinical performance data as documented in the device development, the subject devices were found to have a similar safety and effectiveness profile as the predicate device.

9. Conclusion:

The differences between the predicate and the subject device do not raise any new or different questions of safety and effectiveness. Verification and validation testing was conducted on the subject device and all testing passed pre-specified criteria. This premarket notification submission demonstrates that the AOJ-25 series Digital Thermometer is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
