Regulatory Classification

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.

The assigned 510(k) number is:

#### Submitter's Identification: 1.

Radiant Innovation Inc., No. 40, Lane 19, Bade Road Hsin-Chu City Taiwan, R.O.C.

### Contact:

Mr. Charles Chang Eng. Dep. Manager

Date Summary Prepared: Feb/07/2002

#### Name of the Modification Device: 2.

Infrared Ear Thermometer, Models TH88 series

#### 3. Current Clearance Device:

Radiant Innovation Infrared Ear Thermometer, Models TH8 series. ( FDA# K011059)

#### Device Description: 4.

The Radiant Innovation Inc., Infrared Ear Thermometer, Models TH88 series 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 The total The measured temperature then appears on a LCD display. calculation. operation takes a few seconds.

#### Intended Use: 5.

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

#### Comparison to the Cleared Devices: 6.

The RII Infrared Ear Thermometer, Models TH88 series are substantially equivalent to THE CHI Intrared Dar Internice Ear Thermometer, Models TH8 series, on the principle of operation, scientific technology with the same intended use, technological characteristics and specifications.

The only differences between TH8 and TH88 series Infrared Ear Thermometer are the outer appearance and addition operation procedures for probe cover installation on the user's manual which will not significantly change the safety and effectiveness .

### Tests Performed for Determination of Substantial Equivalence are as follows: 7.

Compliance to applicable voluntary standards includes ASTM E1965, as well as IEC 60601 -1 and IEC 60601-1-2 requirements.

Guidance Documents included the FDA "Guidance On The Content of Premarket Satuation (51 0(k)) Submissions for Clinical Electronic Thermometers", " How to Prepare A Special 510(k) ", "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"..

#### 9. Conclusions:

The RII Infrared Ear Thermometer, Models TH88 series, have the same intended use and similar characteristics as the cleared device, Model TH8 series. Moreover, bench testing contained in this submission supplied demonstrate that the modification of TH88 do not Thus, the RII Infrared Ear raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. Thermometer, Models TH88 series is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
