Intended Use

The FORA IR22 Ear Thermometer is an electronic thermometer using an infrared sensor to detect human body temperature from the ear canal. The device is indicated for use by people of all ages. It is also available to detect object's surface temperature including human skin.

Device Story

FORA IR22 Ear Thermometer uses infrared sensor technology to measure thermal radiation emitted from ear canal or object surfaces. Device intended for home use by patients of all ages. Operation involves positioning probe in ear canal or pointing at surface; device captures infrared signal, processes data, and displays temperature reading on integrated screen. Provides non-invasive, rapid temperature assessment to assist in monitoring health or surface conditions. Healthcare providers or patients use output to inform clinical or personal health decisions.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.

Technological Characteristics

Infrared sensor-based electronic thermometer. Handheld form factor. Battery-powered. Measures ear canal and surface temperatures. Non-contact/contact infrared sensing principle.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use by individuals of all ages to measure human body temperature via the ear canal or to measure the surface temperature of objects, including human skin.

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.

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.
