The summary describes a standard infrared thermometer that measures thermal radiation. There is no mention of AI/ML terms, image processing, or any description of training/test data sets which are typical indicators of AI/ML use in medical devices.
No.
The device is used for measurement and monitoring of human body temperature, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.
No
The device is described as a thermometer intended for intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature. While temperature can be a diagnostic indicator, the device itself is not presented as making a diagnosis or providing diagnostic information, but rather a measurement of a physiological parameter.
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.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. These tests are performed outside of the living body (in vitro).
- Device Function: The Braun ThermoScan IRT 3020/3520 measures temperature by detecting infrared radiation emitted 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 is a direct physiological measurement, not a diagnostic test on a sample.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the Braun ThermoScan IRT 3020/3520 is a medical device, but it falls under the category of a thermometer used for measuring body temperature, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-Clinical Results:
- Five Environment Accuracy Test: Pass
- Thermometer Operating Life Test (Reliability of keys, switch and probe cover ejector): Pass
- Cleaning Test: Pass
- Acoustic Noise test: Pass
- ENVIRONMENTAL:
- Altitude Test: Pass
- Electromagnetic Compatibility: Pass
Product performance specifications, features and software were validated.
Clinical Results:
A comparison study and clinical repeatability testing was performed on the following four ages groups; 0-3 yrs, 4-10 yrs, 11-65 yrs, and >65 yrs. The comparison study demonstrated that the BraunThermoscan IRT 3020/3520 Thermometer measured ear temperature equivalently to the IR-4000 in all age groups. The clinical repeatability is statistically and clinically acceptable.
