The device is a simple, disposable probe cover for an infrared thermometer and the description contains no mention of AI or ML.
No.
The device is a probe cover for an infrared thermometer, used as a sanitary barrier to prevent contamination and infection, not to treat or cure a disease or condition.
No
The device is described as a "probe cover" used as a "sanitary barrier between the infra red thermometer and the ear canal." Its primary function is to prevent contamination, not to diagnose a condition. It is an accessory to a thermometer, which measures a vital sign but is not inherently a diagnostic device itself unless specifically indicated for diagnosing a medical condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a disposable plastic cover, which is a physical hardware component.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The described device is a probe cover for an infrared ear thermometer. Its function is purely as a sanitary barrier to prevent the transfer of secretions or particulates between users and the thermometer probe.
- Lack of Biological Sample Testing: The device does not interact with or analyze any biological samples from the patient. It is a physical barrier.
- Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as a "sanitary barrier" and not for the diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of any condition based on biological samples.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the probe cover for the infrared ear thermometer does not meet the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Probe Cover is a disposable plastic cover made of a biocompatible clarified polypropylene material that is dimensionally manufactured to set tolerances so that it can be fitted on the probe tip of the thermometer. The probe cover is used as a sanitary barrier between the infra red thermometer and the ear canal to prevent any ear secretions or particulates from being transferred between different people.
The subject device is used as barriers between Braun Thermoscan® PRO3000 series/PRO4000 series/PRO6000 series ear thermometer and users' auditory canal measuring sites to avoid possible contamination and infection during temperature measuring.
The probe covers are transparent, colorless and odorless, non-sterile and intended for single use only.

Dear Xu Junwen:
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 (the 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. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

*The predicate's thermometer probe covers are accessories to the thermometer itself, and were included in its 510(k) clearance under K101747. Only probe covers are included in this current 510(k). The subject device's indications are compared to the probe covers. The proposed device's Indications for Use are, therefore, more narrow than the Indications for Use stated in K101747, which applied to both the thermometer and the probe covers, as the subject device's indications are only applicable to the probe covers.
The shelf life of the predicate device is not publicly available. An accelerated aging test was conducted per ASTM F1980. And the stability validation of the probe cover after accelerated aging condition meet the ASTM E1104
7
requirement for physical properties, the desired shelf life can be guaranteed. So the subject device is as safe and as effective as the predicate.
8.0 Summary of Non-Clinical Testing
Non clinical tests were conducted to verify that the subject devices met all design specifications as were Substantially Equivalent (SE) to the predicate device. The test results demonstrated that the proposed device complies with the following standards:
-
· ASTM E1104-98 (Reapproved 2016) Standard Specification for Clinical
Thermometer Probe Covers and Sheaths. -

9.0 _Summary of Clinical Testing
Clinical testing were not conducted for this submission.
Conclusion 10.0
Performance testing contained in this submission demonstrates the minor differences in technological characteristics between the subject device and the predicate do not raise new or different questions of safety and effectiveness. Based on the performance testing and compliance with voluntary standards, the subject device is substantially equivalent to its predicate device K101747 with respect to the indications for use, treatment method, and technological characteristics.
