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.

Date Summary Prepared: Oct. 17, 2002

- 2. Name of the Device:
Digital Thermometer Classic Type and Flexible Type

### 3. Predicate Device Information:

- 1) KEJUMP Digital Clinical Thermometer, K903590, K-Jump Health Co., Ltd.
- 2) Flexible Tip Digital Thermometer, K974195, K-Jump Health Co., Ltd.

# 4. Device Description:

The Digital Thermometer is an electronic clinical thermometer intended for the determination of oral, axillary, and rectal body temperature determination in humans. Classic type and Flexible type have the same indication for use; however, Flexible type has a flexible tip.

### 5. Intended Use:

The device measures the human body temperature from oral, axillary, and rectal. The device is reusable and intended for clinical or home use on people of all ages.

{1}------------------------------------------------

- 6. Comparison to Predicate Devices:
The Digital Thermometer Classic type and Flexible type are substantial equivalence to K-Jump's Digital Clinical Thermometer and Flexible Tip Digital Thermometer.

# 7. Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Performed for Determination of Substantial Equivalence are as follows:

In terms of physical requirements and operating parameters, the Digital Thermometer Classic type and Flexible type conforms to ASTM E1112, "Standard Specification for Electronic Thermometer for Intermittent Determination of Patient Temperature", as well as IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 requirements.

#### 8. Discussion of Clinical Tests Performed:

Controlled human clinical studies ware not conducted using the Digital Thermometer Classic type and Flexible type and predicate devices.

- 9. Conclusions:
The Digital Thermometer Classic type and Flexible type have the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as predicate devices. Moreover, any differences in their technological characteristics that do exist would not have a significant effect on the safety or effectiveness of the device. TThus, the Digital Thermometer Classic type and Flexible type are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Dear Mr. Chen:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
