## Equivalent legally marketed devices:
- Wireless Thermometer (ST323C/F) by Mesure Technology Co., Ltd (K063542) .
The Raiing Medical iThermonitor (K132761) provides an example of a cleared device that affixes the sensor to the skin under the armpit with an adhesive backed foam and that communicates wirelessly to a smart phone application as the receiver.
## Device Description:
The TempTraq™, Model TT-100 patch consists of a temperature sensor integrated circuit mounted to a flexible electronic printed circuit board that also contains a microprocessor and a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio transmitter. Two 1.5V flexible batteries are attached to the circuit board to supply 3.0V DC internal power. The temperature sensor integrated circuit utilizes diode technology where voltage varies with temperature. The sensor circuit is factory calibrated and converts the voltage to an output temperature. The algorithm for conversion is a proprietary algorithm which compensates for the nearly linear behavior of the diode voltage, providing an extremely accurate temperature measurement.
The TempTrag™. Model TT-100 Device is functionally identical to the Mesure Wireless Temperature models ST323C and ST323F in intended use, apart from fact that the TempTraq Model TT-100 device is single use. They both utilize equivalent temperature technology to sense, process, store and transmit temperature data. Like the predicate, the TempTraqTM, Model TT-100 device functions to transmit continuous measurements of body temperature wirelessly to a receiver. In the case of the predicate, the Wireless Thermometer (K063542), this information is transmitted to a custom receiver, while the TempTraq™, Model TT-100 device transmits the information to a mobile app, similar to the reference device, the iThermonitor (K132761). The concept of affixing a temperature sensor to the skin under the armpit with an adhesive backed foam has also received pre- market clearance, under K132761, for use with the iThermonitor.
## Intended Use:
The TempTraq 114 app is compatible with Wireless 2.4G Bluetooth BLE enabled smart devices running Apple operating system iOS 7.1 through 8.1 or Android operating system 4.3 through 4.4.4
The Indication for Use for the TempTraq™, Model TT-100 Device identical to that of the predicate, apart from the fact that the TempTraq™, Model TT-100 Device is a single use device as compared to the reuseable predicate, and is as follows:
The Wireless thermometer, model TT-100, is a battery-operated electronic device with intended use of measuring human body temperature precisely. This device is Blue Spark Technologies TempTraq™ – Traditional 510(k) 510(k) Summary - Section 5-2 of 7 -
{6}------------------------------------------------
single-use and intended for armpit temperature measurement for persons of all age.
## Comparison to Predicate Device
The TempTraq™, Model TT-100 Device is substantially equivalent to the cleared Mesure Wireless Temperature models ST323C and ST323F in terms of intended use, technology, and performance. Table 5-1 compares the proposed TempTraq™, Model TT-100 with the predicate.

510(k) Summary - Section 5-5 of 7 -
{9}------------------------------------------------
## Summary of technological characteristics / performance data:
{10}------------------------------------------------
The TempTraq™, Model TT-100 device has equivalent indications for use and technological characteristics as the predicate device.
- 1.) There is no major change or modification in the intended use of the device (cf. 21 CFR 807.81 (a) (3) (ii)) in comparison to the predicate. Compared to the Mesure Wireless Temperature models ST323C and ST323F, the intended use of the device is equivalent, apart from the fact that the TempTraq™, Model TT-100 device is intended to be a single use, disposable sensor.
- 2.) There is no difference in the used technologies.
Like the predicate, the TempTraq™, Model TT-100 device functions to transmit continuous measurements of body wirelessly to a receiver. In the case of the predicate, the Wireless Thermometer (K063542), this information is transmitted to a custom receiver, while the TempTraqTM, Model TT-100 device transmits the information to a mobile app, similar to the reference device, the iThermonitor (K132761). Additionally, the Wireless Thermometer (K063542), utilizes elastic/compression to secure the temperature sensor, while the TempTraqTM Model TT-100 device secures the sensor with a biocompatible adhesive like the reference device, the iThermonitor (K132761).
- 3.) The identified differences in technological characteristics do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness than the predicate devices (cf. section 513(i)(1)(A) of the FD&C Act and 21 CFR 807.87(f)).
- 4.) Although some specifications are slightly different than the predicate device, the Wireless Thermometer (K063542), the hypothetical resulting difference does not impact the intended use, as demonstrated in the system verification.
- 5.) Performance information and evidence of compliance to recognized standards demonstrate the device is as safe and effective as the predicate devices.
Based upon the intended use, and upon the similarity of materials, product configuration and administration, it can be concluded the TempTraq™, Model TT-100 device is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate device in terms of intended use, safety and effectiveness.
# Description of Testing
The safe and effective performance of the TempTraq™ System has been clearly demonstrated by bench tests:
- System Verification ●
{11}------------------------------------------------
- Software Verification and Validation, in accordance with the Guidance for the ● Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices
Performance data demonstrates conformance with 21 CFR Part 1020 or compliance with voluntary standards:
- ES60601-1:2005/(R) 2012 And C1:2009/(R) 2012: Medical Electrical Equipment -- Part 1: General Requirements For Basic Safety And Essential Performance
- IEC 60601-1-2:2007: Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1-2: General Requirements For Basic Safety And Essential Performance -Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic Compatibility - Requirements And Tests
- ISO 14971: 2007 Ed. 2 Medical Devices-Application of Risk Management to Medical Devices
- IEC 62304:2006 Ed. 1 Medical Device Software Software lifecycle Processes
- ISO 10993-1 Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process
- E1112-00 (Reapproved 2011), standard specification for electronic thermometer for intermittent determination of patient temperature. (General Plastic Surgery/General Hospital)
Clinical testing was not required to establish equivalency of the device.
The comparison of technological characteristics, non-clinical performance data and software validation, demonstrates that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well or better than the predicate devices.
## Conclusion:
Blue Spark Technologies concludes that the device is substantially equivalent to the currently legally marketed predicate devices. The TempTrag™, Model TT-100 has equivalent indications for use or intended use, has identical or equivalent technological characteristics, and does not introduce new potential hazards or safety risks. The device is as safe and effective as the predicate device.
