Intended Use
Thermofocus 0800, 0900, 01500, 0700 series are infrared thermometers intended for the intermittent measurement of human body temperature in people of all ages.
Device Story
Hand-held, battery-operated infrared thermometers; measure natural thermal radiation emitted from human skin. Primary measurement site is middle of forehead; secondary sites include navel or underarm. Features exclusive optic aiming system for non-contact distance measurement. Device uses thermopile and thermistor sensors to generate signals; internal processor performs mathematical adjustments to calculate body temperature. Output displayed on LCD. Used in clinical or home settings by clinicians or patients. Non-contact operation eliminates need for physical contact with patient, reducing cross-contamination risk.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing included accuracy, repeatability, °F/°C conversion, error messaging, display limits, DFU evaluation, current leakage, variable voltage, and EMC testing. Clinical performance was evaluated in hospital and clinic settings across various subjects and ambient temperatures. All tests passed, demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate.
Technological Characteristics
Hand-held, battery-operated infrared thermometer. Sensing principle: thermopile sensor detecting natural infrared thermal radiation. Includes thermistor for ambient compensation. Features LED-based optic aiming system for distance control. Conforms to ASTM E1965-98. Digital LCD display. No wireless connectivity mentioned.
Indications for Use
Indicated for intermittent measurement of human body temperature in patients of all ages.
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.

| Device Description: | Thermofocus devices belonging to the 0800,<br>0900, 01500, 0700 series are hand-held and<br>battery-operated, taking skin temperature<br>mainly in the middle of the forehead. In case<br>of difficult to take the temperature on this<br>area it is also possible to take the temperature<br>on the navel or under the armpit.<br>The Thermofocus devices use the principle<br>of surveying the natural emission of infrared<br>thermal radiation from all objects, including<br>the human body.<br>Thanks to an exclusive optic aiming system,<br>the peculiarity of Thermofocus thermometers<br>is to take the temperature at distance, without<br>any contact with the patient. |

# Summary of non-clinical Performance Testing:
| Performance test | Results |
|------------------------|---------|
| Accuracy tests | Pass |
| Repetability tests | Pass |
| °F vs °C tests | Pass |
| Error messages tests | Pass |
| Display limits tests | Pass |
| DFU evaluation | Pass |
| Current leakage tests | Pass |
| Variable voltage tests | Pass |
| EMC tests | Pass |
Summary of clinical Performance Testing: The numerous tests conducted in our laboratories and also in hospital and clinics, on several subjects and at several ambient temperatures, demonstrate a substantial equivalence between Thermofocus and the predicate Sensortouch. Conclusion: Since performance tests are similar, and both thermometers have the same basic characteristics and conform to the same standard, we can conclude that Thermofocus devices belonging to the 0800, 0900, 01500, 0700 series are substantially equivalent to the predicate Sensortouch.
