The summary describes a standard digital thermometer and makes no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is a diagnostic tool used for temperature determination, not for treating or rehabilitating a medical condition.

No
A thermometer is a measuring device, not a diagnostic device. While the information it provides can be used in diagnosis, the device itself simply measures a physiological parameter.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Flexible Tip Digital Thermometer" and conforms to ASTM E1112, which is a standard for electronic thermometers, indicating it is a physical hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to determine body temperature, which is a physiological measurement taken directly from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a clinical thermometer, which measures a physical property (temperature) of the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not involve the analysis of such specimens.

Therefore, the Flexible Tip Digital Thermometer is a medical device, but 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.
