It is indicated for use in the measurement of oral and axillary temperature. It is not intended for rectal (rectum) temperature measurement. The device also provides a clock function when not in the temperature mode. The Lumiscope Model 2018 Thermometer is intended for use by adults and may be used by the infant or pediatric patient population for measurements of axillary body temperature or for measurements of oral body temperature if the child is able to hold the thermometer beneath the tongue while his mouth is closed. ## Device Story Digital electronic thermometer; consists of flexible probe, connecting cord, and display unit. Input: thermal signal via transducer. Operation: standard electrical transducer design; converts thermal input to digital temperature reading. Output: LCD temperature display and audible alert. Secondary function: quartz clock. Used in home or clinical settings; operated by adults or caregivers. Provides temperature data to assist in fever monitoring and clinical decision-making. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Device meets ASTM E 1112-86 Standard Specification for Electronic Thermometer for Intermittent Determination of Patient Temperature. Accuracy, precision, and repeatability confirmed. Materials identical to those used in other legally marketed devices. ## Technological Characteristics Electrical transducer design; flexible probe; 1.5V DC button battery; LCD display; slide switches for mode selection; temperature alert beeper. Complies with ASTM E 1112-86. Materials identical to predicate. ## Regulatory 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. ## Special Controls (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. ## Predicate Devices - Hanson Scale Co Clinical Electronic Thermometer - Model 7616-10 ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The probe consists of a transducer and supporting plastic tube which houses the connection between the tube and cord. The display unit houses a 1.5V DC button battery, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), slide switches for controlling the thermometer/clock mode and °F/°C mode, hour and minute set buttons, and temperature alert beeper. **Intended Use:** The Lumiscope Model 2018 Thermometer has the same intended use as the predicate device. It is indicated for use in the measurement of oral and axillary temperature. It is not intended for rectal (rectum) temperature measurement. The device also provides a clock function when not in the temperature mode. The Lumiscope Model 2018 Thermometer is intended for use by adults and may be used by the infant or pediatric patient population for measurements of axillary body temperature or for measurements of oral body temperature if the child is able to hold the thermometer beneath the tongue while his mouth is closed. **Technological Characteristics:** The Lumiscope Model 2018 Thermometer has the same technological features as the predicate device: the mode of operation, physical specifications, operational, and biological specifications are identical. **Performance Data:** The Lumiscope Model 2018 Thermometer meets the ASTM Standard Specification for Electronic Thermometer for Intermittent Determination of Patient Temperature (ASTM E 1112-86). Bench testing confirmed accuracy, precision and repeatability measurements specified in the labeling. For all body or fluid contacting materials, certification is made that the identical materials have been used in other legally marketed devices under the same use conditions. **Substantial Equivalence:** The information provided demonstrates that the Lumiscope Model 2018 Thermometer is substantially equivalent to the predicate device since the devices have the same intended use, principles of operation, and technological characteristics. **Contact Person:** ![img-0.jpeg](img-0.jpeg) Thomas C.
