No
The document describes a simple plastic sheath for thermometers and contains no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies.

No
The device is described as a barrier (sheath) for thermometers and does not provide any therapeutic function.

No

Explanation: The device, SaniTherm Disposable Thermometer Sheaths, is described as a barrier or plastic covering for thermometers. Its intended use is as an accessory to thermometers for hygiene purposes, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical product ("plastic coverings") and an accessory to physical thermometers, not a software application.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is as a barrier for thermometers used for oral or rectal temperature measurement. This is a physical barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a plastic covering for thermometers.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific substances, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory analysis.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that definition.

§ 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.
