Intended Use
The Braun No Touch + Forehead NTF3000 Thermometer is a non-sterile, reusable clinical thermometer intended for the intermittent determination of human body temperature in a touch and no touch mode on the center of the forehead as the measurement site on people of all ages.
Device Story
Hand-held, battery-powered infrared thermometer; measures forehead temperature via infrared energy emission. Device utilizes thermopile sensor with integrated thermistor for target reading, internal thermistor for ambient temperature compensation, parabolic mirror for infrared focusing, and infrared proximity sensor for distance/contact detection. Operates in touch or no-touch (within 2 inches) modes. Used in residential or clinical settings by patients or healthcare providers. Output displayed on LCD with buzzer notification. Provides oral-equivalent temperature readings. Benefits include non-invasive, rapid temperature assessment for all ages.
Clinical Evidence
Pivotal clinical study conducted to evaluate accuracy against predicate and reference thermometers. Device complies with ASTM E1965-98:2009. Results demonstrated non-inferiority to the predicate device, supporting substantial equivalence.
Indicated for intermittent determination of human body temperature in people of all ages via forehead measurement site; usable in touch or no-touch modes.
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.

#### VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS
{4}------------------------------------------------
{5}------------------------------------------------
Based on the comparison chart above, there have been no changes to the intended use or product specifications from those of the predicate device (the NTF3000 No Touch + Forehead Thermometer), the fundamental operating principle of the thermometer is identical to that of the predicate device, and there was no change to any material on the outside of the unit from those on the predicate device. The changes associated with software and the change in proximity sensor have been verified and validated via laboratory testing and a pivotal clinical study, and through the verification and validation process, it has been shown that the differences do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.

#### VIII. CLINICAL TESTING DATA
Laboratory and clinical accuracy testing was conducted on the Braun No Touch + Forehead NTF3000 Thermometer. The device complies with the following standard for intermittent determination of patient temperature by infrared thermometers:
- ASTM E1965-98:2009: Standard Specification for Infrared Thermometers for Intermittent ● Determination of Patient Temperature
Based on the clinical performance as documented in the pivotal clinical study, the Braun No Touch + Forehead NTF3000 Thermometer was found to be non-inferior to the predicate and reference thermometer, and therefore, substantially equivalent to the predicate thermometer.
#### CONCLUSION IX.
The non-clinical data support the accuracy of the device and the hardware and software verification and validation demonstrate that the Braun No Touch + Forehead NTF3000 Thermometer should perform as intended in the specified use conditions. The clinical data demonstrate that the Braun No Touch + Forehead NTF3000 Thermometer performs comparably to its predicate device, the NTF3000 No Touch + Forehead Infrared Thermometer (510(k) K134043), which was cleared for marketing in the US in May 2014 for the same intended use. Therefore, the Braun No Touch + Forehead NTF3000 Thermometer is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, the NTF3000 No Touch + Forehead Infrared Thermometer (510(k) K134043).
