The non-contact forehead thermometer is an electronic thermometer using an infrared detector (thermopile detector) to detect body temperature from forehead center in people of all ages.

The thermometer (Mode: TH48FE, TH09F, THD2FE) are electronic thermometer using an IR sensor to measure infrared energy radiated from the forehead. This energy is collected through the lens and converted to an oral temperature value. The thermometer consists of an IR sensor with a built-in ambient temperature sensor, Application-Specific Integrated Circuitry including software, LCD display, buttons, and batteries.

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a non-contact forehead thermometer. While it discusses the device's accuracy and clinical validation, it does not detail a study that proves the device meets complex acceptance criteria for an AI/ML-driven medical device, as typically outlined for such systems. The acceptance criteria and study described are for a traditional medical device (a thermometer), focusing on its accuracy and safety standards rather than AI performance metrics.

Therefore, for AI/ML specific criteria like MRMC studies, ground truth establishment for AI training/testing, or separate human-in-the-loop vs. standalone AI performance, the provided document does not contain this information. The questions will be addressed based on the information available in the document, and limitations will be noted where information is absent.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them, based solely on the provided text:

The device in question is a Non-contact Forehead Thermometer (Models TH48FE, TH09F, THD2FE), which is a traditional electronic medical device, not an AI/ML system. Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" and "study" described in the document relate to the performance of a thermometer, primarily its accuracy and compliance with relevant standards, rather than the complex AI/ML evaluation metrics (like sensitivity, specificity, MRMC studies, etc.) typically associated with AI-driven devices.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided FDA 510(k) summary:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

For a non-contact forehead thermometer, the primary performance criterion is accuracy.

Note: The document implies these are "acceptance criteria" by stating the device "met all design specifications" and "complied with" or "meet" the standards.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

• Sample Size for Clinical Accuracy Validation (Test Set): 113 subjects.
• Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but the submission is from a Taiwan-based manufacturer (Radiant Innovation Inc.). It also doesn't specify if the clinical trial was retrospective or prospective, but clinical accuracy validation trials per ISO standards are typically prospective.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

The document does not specify the number or qualifications of experts used to establish ground truth for the thermometer's clinical accuracy. For thermometer testing, "ground truth" typically refers to core body temperature measured by a highly accurate reference method (e.g., rectal thermometer in a controlled setting) against which the test device's readings are compared. This usually involves clinical staff following a standardized protocol rather than a panel of "experts" as in AI image interpretation.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not applicable/not specified. For simple temperature measurement, "adjudication" in the sense of resolving disagreements between multiple readers (as in AI image analysis) is not relevant. The ground truth would be established by the reference standard measurement.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

Not applicable. This device is a standalone non-AI thermometer. There is no AI component or human-in-the-loop aspect for which an MRMC study would be performed.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

This device is a "standalone" device in the sense that it provides a temperature reading without human interpretation beyond reading the display. Its "algorithm" is the internal software that converts IR signals to an oral temperature value. The document states:

• "Software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Content of Premarket Submissions for Device Software Functions"."
• "The software for this device was considered as a "Basic" documentation level."

This confirms that the device's internal software/algorithm performance was validated.

7. The type of ground truth used

The ground truth for the clinical accuracy validation would be a reference body temperature measurement, typically obtained using a highly accurate clinical thermometer (e.g., a rectal thermometer) under controlled clinical conditions, as per the methodology outlined in ISO 80601-2-56 for clinical accuracy validation of medical thermometers. This is implicit in "Clinical Accuracy Validation."

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is a traditional medical device, not an AI/ML device that requires a "training set" for model development. The internal software/firmware is developed and verified, not "trained" on data in the AI sense.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable, as there is no "training set" for this type of device.

3. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

• This information is not applicable as the ground truth for thermometer accuracy is established by a reference standard, not through expert consensus requiring adjudication.

4. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done:

• No, an MRMC study was not done. This type of study is more relevant for diagnostic imaging AI where human readers interpret medical images with and without AI assistance. The RII Smart IR Thermometer is a direct measurement device.

5. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done:

• The clinical test evaluates the device's performance (i.e., algorithm/device only) against a reference standard. While the device requires connection to an APP and a smartphone for display, its core measurement capability is standalone. The study directly assesses this standalone performance.

6. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

• The ground truth for the clinical performance test was established based on the requirements of ASTM E1965-98. This standard specifies how the accuracy of infrared thermometers for intermittent determination of patient temperature should be evaluated, generally relying on highly accurate reference temperature measurements.

7. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

• This information is not applicable to this device. The RII Smart IR Thermometer is not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a "training set" in the conventional sense. It's a sensor-based device with embedded algorithms calibrated during manufacturing. The clinical test is for validation/performance assessment, not for training.

8. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

• As noted above, there is no "training set" in the context of this device. The device's internal calibration and algorithmic performance would be established during its development and manufacturing process, likely using traceable temperature standards.

The device's performance is validated through physical and clinical testing against established standards and other measurement devices.

Ask a specific question about this device

The device is an electronic clinical thermometer using an infrared sensor to detect body temperature from the auditory canal in the neonatal, pediatric and adult population used in the home setting.

The Radiant Innovation Inc., Infrared Ear Thermometer, Model TH60N is electronic thermometer using an infrared detector (thermopile detector) to detect body temperature from the auditory canal. Its operation is based on measuring the natural thermal radiation emanating from the tympanic membrane and the adjacent surfaces of the patient.

To measure ear temperature, the ear thermometer is inserted into a patient's outer ear canal. A start button is pressed to start the measurement through the radiation exchanges. The electrical signal read out from the detector is fed to the circuit for amplification and calculation. The measured temperature then appears on a LCD display. The total operation takes a few seconds.

Radiant Infrared Ear Thermometer TH60N is an ear thermometer without probe cover with some sub-functions such as: temperature unit switchable, recall memory, scan function, last reading display, ambient temperature, and backlight.

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Radiant Innovation Inc. Infrared Ear Thermometer TH60N. It does not contain detailed acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria in the way typically found for AI/ML medical devices. Instead, it focuses on substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on regulatory compliance and non-clinical testing.

Therefore, I cannot extract the specific information requested in your bullet points because the document does not contain that level of detail for a performance study.

Here's what I can extract and what is missing:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

• Acceptance Criteria/Performance Standards: The document states compliance with "applicable voluntary standards includes ASTM E1965-98 and EN12470-5:2003, as well as EN 60601-1 (IEC 60601-1) and EN 60601-1-2 (IEC 60601-1-2) requirements."
  • However, it does not provide the specific quantitative acceptance criteria within those standards (e.g., maximum allowable error in temperature readings) nor does it report the device's specific performance against these criteria (e.g., "Our device had an accuracy of X degrees Celsius, which is within the Y degrees Celsius specified by ASTM E1965-98"). The document only states that "bench testing contained in this submission supplied demonstrate that the modification of TH60N do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness." This implies the device met the standards, but the specific data is not in this summary.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

• Not explicitly stated for clinical performance. The document mentions "bench testing" but doesn't specify sample sizes for any clinical validation or the origin of data beyond "bench testing." For a thermometer, a "test set" would typically refer to a clinical study measuring human body temperatures, which is not described.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

• Not applicable/Not stated. This type of information is typically for diagnostic devices where expert consensus (e.g., radiologists, pathologists) is needed to establish ground truth. For a thermometer, "ground truth" would be established by a reference thermometer or a controlled environment, not expert interpretation. This document does not describe how ground truth was established, only that it complies with standards.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

• Not applicable/Not stated. Similar to point 3, adjudication methods (like 2+1) are used for interpretive tasks in diagnostic imaging or similar fields. They are not relevant for a simple temperature measurement device like an ear thermometer.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done

• No. This type of study is for evaluating human performance (e.g., radiologists) with and without AI assistance in diagnostic tasks. It is not relevant for an infrared ear thermometer.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

• Yes, in essence. A thermometer is inherently a standalone device; the "algorithm" (its internal processing) produces a direct measurement. The "bench testing" mentioned would be evaluating this standalone performance against reference standards. However, specific details of this testing (e.g., number of measurements, temperature ranges tested, results) are not provided in this summary.

7. The type of ground truth used

• Implied by compliance to standards: For a thermometer, ground truth is typically established using highly accurate reference thermometers in controlled environments (e.g., blackbody cavities for infrared calibration, or direct contact thermometry for clinical validation). The document does not explicitly state the specific ground truth used but relies on adherence to standards like ASTM E1965-98 and EN12470-5:2003 which would specify such methods.

8. The sample size for the training set

• Not applicable/Not stated. This device is a traditional electronic thermometer, not an AI/ML device that requires a "training set."

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

• Not applicable/Not stated. As it's not an AI/ML device, there's no training set or associated ground truth for training.

In summary, this 510(k) submission focuses on meeting established regulatory standards and demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through "bench testing." It is not a clinical study report for an AI/ML device, and therefore the detailed performance metric breakdown you're looking for is absent from this specific document.

The device is an electronic clinical thermometer using an infrared sensor to detect body temperature from the auditory canal in the neonatal, pediatric and adult population used in the home setting.

The Radiant Innovation Inc., Infrared Ear Thermometer, Model TH01BN are electronic thermometers using an infrared detector (thermopile detector) to detect body temperature from the auditory canal. Its operation is based on measuring the natural thermal radiation emanating from the tympanic membrane and the adjacent surfaces of the patient.

To measure ear temperature, the ear thermometer is inserted into a patient's outer ear canal. A start button is pressed to start the measurement through the radiation exchanges. The electrical signal read out from the detector is fed to the circuit for amplification and calculation. The measured temperature then appears on a LCD display. The total operation takes a few seconds.

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Radiant Innovation Inc. Infrared Ear Thermometer TH01BN. It primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on compliance with voluntary standards and bench testing, rather than a clinical study with detailed acceptance criteria and performance data as typically seen in AI/ML medical devices.

Therefore, much of the requested information (e.g., sample size for test set, data provenance, number of experts, adjudication method, MRMC study, standalone performance, training set details) is not present in this document because it describes a traditional medical device (thermometer) and not an AI or machine learning-based device. The "study" referenced is primarily conformance to relevant standards for clinical thermometers.

However, I can extract information related to the acceptance criteria and reported device performance based on the standards mentioned.

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document states that the device demonstrated compliance to applicable voluntary standards ASTM E1965-98 and EN12470-5:2003 for clinical electronic thermometers. These standards define the acceptance criteria for accuracy.

Note: The specific numerical values for accuracy and other parameters from these standards are not detailed in the provided summary, only that the device "compli(ed) to applicable voluntary standards." The device performance is "reported" as being compliant with these standards.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

This information is not provided in the document. The "tests performed" refer to bench testing for compliance with standards, not detailed clinical trial data with patient samples.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

This information is not applicable and not provided. The ground truth for a physical measurement device like a thermometer is established through traceable calibration standards, not expert consensus in the way an AI model's ground truth for medical images would be.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

This information is not applicable and not provided. Adjudication methods are typically used in studies involving human interpretation or annotation, which is not the case for a thermometer's performance testing.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

This information is not applicable and not provided. An MRMC study is relevant for AI-assisted diagnostic tools involving human readers, which this device is not.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

This information is not applicable in the context of an infrared ear thermometer. The device itself is a "standalone" instrument for measuring temperature. There is no "algorithm only" performance separate from the device's function.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

For a thermometer, the "ground truth" for its accuracy is typically established by comparing its readings against a calibrated reference thermometer in a controlled environment, traceable to national/international standards (e.g., against a black body radiator or a liquid-in-glass thermometer of known accuracy). This is part of the bench testing implied by compliance with ASTM and EN standards.

8. The sample size for the training set

This information is not applicable and not provided. This device is an infrared ear thermometer, a hardware device, not an AI/ML model that requires a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

This information is not applicable and not provided, as there is no training set for this type of device.
