Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard infrared thermometer measuring thermal radiation, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML development.

No
The device is a thermometer, used for measurement and monitoring of body temperature, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It does not treat or alleviate any condition.

No
The device measures and monitors human body temperature, which is a physiological parameter. It does not provide a diagnosis of a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "hand held instrument" that measures temperature through the auditory canal, indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software only.

Based on the provided information, the Braun ThermoScan Thermometer, Model IR-6000 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.
  • Device Function: The Braun ThermoScan Thermometer measures body temperature by detecting thermal radiation from the ear. This is a direct measurement of a physiological parameter within the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature," which aligns with a general medical device for physiological monitoring, not an IVD.

Therefore, the Braun ThermoScan Thermometer, Model IR-6000 falls under the category of a general medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 880.2910 Clinical electronic thermometer.

(a)
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.
