No
The document describes a standard infrared thermometer and does not mention any AI or ML components or capabilities.

No.
The device is a thermometer used for measurement and monitoring of body temperature, not for treating or providing therapy for a medical condition.

No

The device is intended for the intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature, which is a vital sign measurement rather than a diagnostic function.

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 tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to diagnose, monitor, or screen for various health issues.
  • Device Function: The Braun ThermoScan® PRO 3000 Infrared Thermometer measures temperature by detecting thermal radiation from the ear canal. This is a non-invasive measurement taken directly from the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.

Therefore, based on the provided information and the definition of an IVD, the Braun ThermoScan® PRO 3000 is not an in vitro diagnostic device. It is a medical device used for measuring body temperature.

Summary of Performance Studies

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. Approximately 39% of the patients participating in the study were considered febrile. The comparison study demonstrated that the Braun ThermoScan® PRO-3000 Instant Thermometer measured ear temperature equivalently to the ThermoScan® IR-2000(PRO-1) in all age groups. The clinical repeatability is statistically and clinically acceptable.

§ 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.
