No
The description focuses on standard infrared temperature measurement technology and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No.
The device is a thermometer used for measurement and monitoring, not for treating or preventing a disease or condition.

Yes

Explanation: The device is intended for "intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature," which is a physiological parameter. The measurement of physiological parameters for the purpose of assessing a medical condition or disease is a diagnostic function.

No

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

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The Braun ThermoScan pro-2000 Instant Thermometer measures temperature directly from the human body (specifically, the auditory canal). It does not analyze any specimens taken from the body.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the device falls under the category of a medical device used for direct physiological measurement, not an IVD.

Summary of Performance Studies

A comparison study and clinical repeatability testing was performed on the following four age groups; 0-3 yrs, 4-10 yrs, 11-65 yrs, and >65 yrs. The comparison study demonstrated that the Braun ThermoScan pro-2000 Instant Thermometer measured ear temperature equivalently to the IR-2000 in all age groups. The clinical repeatability for each age group met ASTM standards.

§ 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.

Name of Device:Braun ThermoScan pro-2000 Instant Thermometer
Predicate Device:THERMOSCAN Instant Thermometer, Model IR-2000
THERMOSCAN Instant Thermometer, Model IR-5000
THERMOSCAN Instant Thermometer, Model IR-6000
Device Description:The Braun ThermoScan pro-2000 Instant Thermometer,
is a hand held instrument that measures temperature through
the opening of the auditory canal. Operation is based on
measuring the natural thermal radiation emitted from the
tympanic membrane and adjacent surfaces
Intended Use:The Braun ThermoScan pro-2000 Instant Thermometer
is intended for the intermittent measurement and monitoring
of human body temperature by medical professionals. It is
intended for use on people of all ages.
Technological
Characteristics:The Braun ThermoScan Instant Thermometers, Model
PRO-2000, IR-2000, IR-5000 and IR-6000 have the same
general design and incorporate similar technologies,
materials and components.
The primary function of the Braun ThermoScan pro-2000
Instant Thermometer is the same as the ThermoScan Instant
Thermometer, Models IR-2000, IR-5000 and IR-6000 for the
measurement of body temperature and raise no new
questions of safety and effectiveness. ThermoScan Inc.
concludes that the Braun ThermoScan pro-2000
Instant Thermometer, is substantially equivalent to the
ThermoScan IR-2000, IR-5000 and IR-6000.
