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.

- 3. Information of the 510(K) Cleared Device(Predicate Device): Infrared Ear Thermometer (GT-302) (K010383).
#### 4. Device Description:

Infrared Ear Thermometer (IRT-21 and IRT-22) is used to measure body temperature from ear canal. Operation is based on measuring the natural thermal radiation emitted from the tympanic membrane and adjacent surfaces. Probe cover is used for measuring to ensure accurate temperature measurement. For hygienic purpose, it is advised to discard the probe cover after each use.

Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the power, the symbol 1888 appears immediately. Insert the probe into the ear canal then press the SCAN button to measure the temperature, when you hear a beep sound, the measurement is The temperature is graduated on 0.1 Tor 0.1 ℃, reading a range of complete. 89.6°F -- 109.2°F (32°C -- 42.9°C ). The ambient temperature environment is intended for used is 50°F -- 104°F (10°C-40°C).

- 5. Intended Use:
Infrared Ear Thermometer (IRT-21 and IRT-22), designed with infrared technology, is used to measure body temperature from ear canal. Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the power, the symbol #88 appears immediately.

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

Insert the probe into the ear canal then press the SCAN button to measure the temperature, when you hear a beep sound, the measurement is complete. Infrared Ear Thermometer (IRT-21 and IRT-22) is intended for household and hospital use on people of all ages.

#### 6. Comparison to the 510(K) Cleared Device(Predicate Device):

Infrared Ear Thermometer (IRT-21 and IRT-22) has the same intended use and technological characteristics as the cleared device of Infrared Ear Thermometer (GT-302) (K010383). Although Infrared Ear Thermometer (IRT-21 and IRT-22) has slightly broader ambient operating temperature, slightly broader display temperature range and more memorization capacity compared with legally marketed one, these differences do not affect the safety, performance of the subject device. So the new device is substantial equivalence to the selected predicate device.

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

Various testing was performed as per ASTM E1965-1998 (Re-approved 2003) and ASTM E1104-1998 (Re-approved 2003). Accuracy testing was done at 35°C/95°F, 37°C/98.6°F, 41°C/105.8°F according to the requirements of ASTM E1965-98 (Re-approved 2003) and results show that no individual reading was in error by more than the acceptable maximum error. Declaration of conformity letter of conformed standards sees Appendix VIII.

Electrical safety conforms to applicable voluntary standards IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2. And Biocompatibility conforms to applicable voluntary standards ISO 10993-1:2003 biocompatibility testing on skin irritation, in vitro cytotoxicity and sensitivity.

For predicate device (K010383), it is complied with voluntary standards includes ASTM 1965-98, ASTM 1104, IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 based on its 510K summary.

So the new device is substantial equivalence to the selected predicate device.

#### 8. Discussion of Clinical Study:

A comparison study and clinical repeatability testing was performed between Infrarcd thermometer and reference thermometer. 100 patients were enrofled for this trial. The repeatability result can be considered reasonably small and will not pose a problem for diagnostic purposes. The results of clinical bias and

{2}------------------------------------------------

uncertainty indicate that this IR thermometer can be used reliably. Clinical result conform ASTM E1965-98 (Re approved 2003).

- 9. Conclusions:
Infrared Ear Thermometer (IRT-21 and IRT-22) has the same intended use and technological characteristics as the cleared device of Infrared Ear Thermometer Various performance testing data which conducted (GT-302) (K010383). according to ASTM E1965 and ASTM E1104 standards, such as accuracy test, storage test, shock test demonstrate the same safety and effectiveness as that of cleared device. In the other words, the Infrared Ear Thermometer (IRT-21 and IRT-22) is substantial equivalence to predicted device.
