Non-contact operation; provides temperature reading to user. Used in clinical or home settings by clinicians or patients. Modifications from predicate include improved calibration options for faster stabilization, display backlighting, configurable 'home' button (hospital versions), simplified toggle controls, and adjustable display power-save settings. Benefits include non-invasive, rapid temperature assessment.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only; devices meet ASTM E1965-98 standard for infrared thermometers. Risk analysis performed to ensure safety and effectiveness of modifications.

Technological Characteristics

Infrared thermal radiation sensing; battery-operated; hand-held form factor. Complies with ASTM E1965-98. Features include adjustable calibration, display backlighting, and configurable power-save modes.

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.

#### Description of Device:

Thermofocus devices belonging to the 0800, 0900, 01500, 0700 series are hand-held and battery-operated thermometers. They take skin temperature mainly in the middle of the forehead, on the navel, neck or under the armpit. The Thermofocus devices use the principle of surveying the natural emission of infrared thermal radiation from all objects, including the human body. Thermofocus thermometers take temperature at distance, without any contact with the patient.

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

The modified devices incorporate improvements to the thermometers calibration capability and also include other minor "user-friendly" improvements. Specifically, these modifications include:

## Comparison of Device Technological Characteristics to Precedent Device:

| Precedent Models | New Models |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 20-30 minute time frame for the<br>device to be stabilized in a new<br>environment. | The user can choose between three different calibration<br>options depending on the model to lessen the amount of<br>time for the stabilization of the thermometer. |
| Backlighting of the display was<br>not available. | Backlighting of the display is now available. |
| No option to disable the home<br>button. | In the hospital versions, it is possible to disable the "home"<br>button. |
| Toggle between settings using 2<br>buttons. | Toggle between settings using one button. |
| In the precedent versions, the<br>display of the model 0700 turned<br>off after 20 seconds of no use.<br>While in all the other models the<br>display remained on. | In the new models, it is possible to choose the display<br>always on or always off when not in use.<br>It is also possible to set models 0800, 0900 and 01500 so<br>that the display can turn off after 20 seconds. |
| Protective cap and memory button<br>on some models | Protective cap and memory button available on all models. |

### Intended Use:

Thermofocus 0700, 0800, 0900, 01500 series are infrared thermometers intended for the intermittent measurement of human body temperature in people of all ages.

### Non-Clinical /Clinical Testing

Performance tests were not required as the modified devices are essentially equivalent to previously cleared predicate devices. Certain performance tests were conducted as part of the risk analysis and demonstrated acceptable results for devices safety and effectiveness.

Both devices meet the ASTM E1965-98 Standard for Infrared Thermometer for Intermittent Determination of Patient Temperature, as far as this standard applies to them.

### Conclusion:

We have demonstrated that the new Themofocus 0700, 0800, 0900, 01500 series are as safe and effective as our predicate device based on performance testing results as well as the risk analysis supplied with this submission.
