The MHS 5000 provides for use with both laptop and desktop computers. The computer provides the user interface, image storage and display. Use of this device is determined by the healthcare professional and is based upon his or her assessment of the patient's medical condition and requirements. The device is for providing thermal images of the human body. The device is for use only by qualified healthcare personnel who are trained in its use. ## Device Story MHS 5000 is a thermal imaging system capturing infrared radiation patterns from the human body; transforms thermal data into digital images for display and storage on connected laptop or desktop computers. Operated by qualified healthcare professionals in clinical, surgical, or healthcare settings. Provides visual thermal maps to assist clinicians in assessing patient medical conditions. Benefits include non-invasive visualization of thermal patterns to support diagnostic or monitoring decisions. ## Technological Characteristics Thermal imaging system; interfaces with standard laptop or desktop computers for processing and display; intended for clinical use. ## Regulatory Identification A telethermographic system for adjunctive diagnostic screening for detection of breast cancer or other uses is an electrically powered device with a detector that is intended to measure, without touching the patient's skin, the self-emanating infrared radiation that reveals the temperature variations of the surface of the body. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories. ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
