No
The summary describes a standard electronic thermometer system for temperature monitoring and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as a thermometer system used to monitor tissue temperatures during therapeutic procedures, not to perform therapy itself.

Yes

Explanation: The device monitors tissue temperatures to avoid unintended tissue damage during various surgical procedures. This monitoring function provides information for diagnosis or to guide treatment decisions.

No

The device description explicitly mentions "thermocouple probes," which are hardware components used for temperature measurement. The system incorporates a user interface and works with these probes, indicating it is a system that includes both hardware and software, not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, the Endocare Electronic Thermometer System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "monitor tissue temperatures during thermotherapy, cryosurgery, or normal intra operative feedback." This describes a device used in vivo (within the living body) to measure a physiological parameter (temperature) during a medical procedure.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by stating the probes are used for "intra-operative temperature monitoring."
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are designed to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue samples) in vitro (outside the living body) to provide information about a patient's health. The description of the Endocare system does not mention any analysis of biological samples.

Therefore, the Endocare Electronic Thermometer System is a medical device used for in vivo temperature monitoring, not an IVD.

§ 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.

3. SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS SUMMARY

The Following is a summary of the safety and effectiveness of the Endocare Electronic Thermometer System.

1.0 General Information:

Device Name: Endocare Electronic Thermometer System Manufacturer: Endocare Inc. Sterigenics International Sterilizer:

2.0 Description


Temperature monitoring systems have been in the medical device market place for several decades. Endocare is introducing an Electronic Thermometer System that incorporates a flexible user interface for easy of use. The Temperature Monitoring System can be used with a variety of thermocouple probes. The probes can be used for intra-operative temperature monitoring to avoid unintended tissue damage.

3.0 Substantial Equivalence Support

The Endocare Electronic Thermometer System are designed for use in General Surgery, Urology, and Gynecology to monitor tissue temperatures during thermotherapy, cryosurgery, or normal intra operative feedback.

The Endocare Electronic Thermometer System has the same temperature measuring characteristics as current electronic thermometer systems.

The Endocare Electronic Thermometer System is substantially equivalent to the Bailey BAT-8 clinical monitoring thermometers and the Electromedics TM147T Temperature System. The Bailey BAT-8 clinical monitoring thermometers ( Pre-Medical Device Amendments of 1976) and the Electromedics TM147T Temperature Monitoring System (K#830592A) have been granted market clearance by the FDA .
