Indications for Use
The Braun Thermoscan® PRO 6000 Ear Thermometer is indicated for the intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature for patients of all ages in a professional use environment. The probe cover is used as a sanitary barrier between the infra red thermometer and the ear canal.
Device Story
Handheld infrared ear thermometer for professional use in hospitals/clinics; measures thermal infrared radiation from tympanic membrane and ear canal. Device features heated tip to minimize ambient temperature influence; includes technique compensation feature using capacitive rings in speculum to detect insertion depth and outer ear temperature to correct for misuse. Microcontroller processes sensor inputs; displays temperature on LCD. Healthcare providers use device to obtain rapid temperature readings; aids in clinical assessment of patient febrile status. Benefits include improved accuracy and reduced measurement errors due to improper technique.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical comparison study performed per ASTM E1965-03 across four age groups (0-12 months, 12 months-<5 years, <18 years, 18+ years). Compared test device to predicate (K103800) using SureTemp Plus (K030580) as gold standard. Results demonstrated non-inferiority in bias and standard deviation. Clinical repeatability was <0.3°C (0.58°F), meeting clinical acceptability criteria.

### 5.0 Device Description:
The Braun Thermoscan® PRO 6000 Ear Thermometer is a hand held instrument that measures human body temperature through the opening of the auditory canal. It is a single mode ear thermometer that measures the natural thermal infrared radiation emitted from the tympanic membrane and adjacent surfaces with a built-in correction algorithm to compensate the influence of ambient temperature using a heated tip. The Braun Thermoscan® PRO 6000 Ear Thermometer also includes a technique compensation feature to detect depth of insertion to compensate for common methods of misuse, this feature uses capacitive rings mounted in the speculum of the thermometer to detect insertion and depth and measurements of the outer ear temperature during insertion to detect misuse and correct accordingly. The Braun Thermoscan® PRO 6000 Ear Thermometer is meant for professional use in hospitals and healthcare or professional office settings.
#### 6.0 Indications for Use:
The Braun Thermoscan® PRO 6000 Ear Thermometer is indicated for the intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature for patients of all ages in a professional use environment. The probe cover is used as a sanitary barrier between the infra red thermometer and the ear canal.
#### 7.0 Validation Results:
## Clinical Study to show substantial equivalence:
A comparison study and clinical repeatability testing was performed on the following four age groups: 0-12 months, 12 months- <5 years, <18 years, and 18 years and older in accordance with ASTM E1965-03 to compare the Braun Thermoscan® PRO 6000 Ear Thermometer (test thermometer) with the predicate Braun Thermoscan® PRO 4000 Ear Thermometer (K103800). The reference or the gold standard used was the SureTemp Plus Oral/Rectal and Axillary Contact Thermometer in the monitoring mode (K030580). This clinical comparison study demonstrated that the Braun Thermoscan® PRO 6000 Ear Thermometer is as good as (non-inferior or substantially equivalent to) the previously approved Braun Thermoscan® PRO 4000 Ear Thermometer in all age groups with respect to the bias and standard deviation in comparison to the Reference SureTemp Plus Oral/Rectal and Axillary Contact Thermometer in the monitoring mode (K030580). The temperatures obtained with the test Infrared Ear Thermometer were highly related when compared to the predicate device, where temperatures were
{5}------------------------------------------------
measured in the oral mode for children above 5 years) and axillary mode (for children under 5 years) . The clinical bias with stated uncertainty and clinical repeatability as defined in the ASTM E1965-03 standard were within clinical acceptability (bias less than predicate device when compared to reference). The clinical repeatability of the Infrared Ear Thermometer was statistically and clinically acceptable (less than 0.3 deg C or 0.58 deg F).
#### 8.0 Device Comparison with Predicate
### 8.1 Intended Use
The predicate device, the Braun Thermoscan® PRO 4000 Ear Thermometer is intended for the intermittent determination of the human's body temperature for people of all ages. The intended use and indications for use of the predicate and the Braun Thermoscan® PRO 6000 Ear Thermometer are similar. The predicate device as well as the KAZ Braun Thermoscan® PRO 6000 Ear Thermometer use the measurement site.
### 8.2 Materials
Materials used in the manufacture of the Braun Thermoscan® PRO 6000 Ear Thermometer are similar (derived from similar resins) to the predicate device. All skin contacting materials used in the new thermometer have been tested for biocompatibility (cyto-toxicity in accordance with ISO 10993-5 as well as irritation and sensitization in accordance with ISO 10993-10) and FDA Blue book memo G 95-1 for both thermometers and the corresponding test reports are included in this submission.
### 8.3 Design
The industrial design of the KAZ Braun Thermoscan® PRO 6000 Ear Thermometer is identical to the predicate device except for a new outer shell.
### 8.4 Operational Principles
The Braun Thermoscan® PRO 6000 Ear Thermometer is a handheld device, containing an On/Off switch, sensor area, microcontroller and LCD screen to control the device and take measurements. The operating principle is based on detection of infrared energy and use of predictive algorithms to estimate the body temperature.
#### 8.5 Technology
The technology of the Braun Thermoscan® PRO 6000 Ear Thermometer is identical to the predicate device. The technique compensation feature is additional technology that is integrated into the Braun Thermoscan® PRO 6000 Ear Thermometer using additional hardware (three capacitive rings) and software.
