Intended Use
The Non-contact Forehead Thermometer is an infrared thermometer intended for the intermittent measurement of human body temperature in people of all ages.
Device Story
Hand-held, battery-powered infrared thermometer; measures human body temperature via infrared energy emitted from forehead. Device utilizes thermopile sensor, integrated thermistor for target reading, ambient thermistor, and parabolic mirror for focusing. Infrared distance sensor detects distance (5-8cm or 1-2cm depending on model) to provide temperature compensation. Used in home or clinical settings by patients or healthcare providers. Output displayed on LCD; provides fever alarm and memory storage. Enables non-invasive, rapid temperature monitoring to assist in clinical decision-making regarding patient health status.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical study conducted on 96 subjects across three age groups: infants (newborn to 1 year), children (>1 to 5 years), and adults (>5 years), with 32 patients per group. 30% of subjects exhibited temperatures ≥38.0°C. Results confirmed compliance with ASTM E1965-98 (2016) performance requirements.
Technological Characteristics
Infrared thermopile sensor; parabolic mirror; ambient thermistor; LCD display. Powered by 2x AAA batteries. Conforms to EN60601-1 (safety), IEC60601-1-2 (EMC), and ASTM E1965-98 (performance). Materials evaluated per ISO 10993-5 (cytotoxicity) and ISO 10993-10 (sensitization/irritation).
Indications for Use
Indicated for intermittent measurement of human body temperature in people 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.

# Predicate Device
Non-contact Clinical Thermometer, Model THB0F. (Radiant Innovation Inc,K121428)
# Description
The Non-contact Forehead Thermometers are hand-held, battery powered devices designed to measure human body temperature. The subject devices are Infrared thermometers that convert a user's forehead temperature using the infrared energy emitted in the area around the user's forehead to an oral equivalent temperature when placed in the distance from subject's forehead up to 5-8cm(HW-2,HW-2S,HW-3,HW-302 and HW-303) or 1-2cm(HW-4 and HW-4S).
The thermometers use a thermopile sensor with integrated thermistor for the target reading, a thermistor mounted in the head of the thermometer for ambient temperature readings, a parabolic mirror to help focus the infrared energy emitted from the forehead, and an infrared distance sensor for detection with the distance from forehead up to 5~8cm(HW-2,HW-2S,HW-3,HW-302 and HW-303) or 1-2cm(HW-4 and HW-4S) and compensation of the temperature reading.

#### Clinical data
Clinical tests were conducted on HW-2,HW-2S,HW-3,HW-4,HW-4S,HW-302 and HW-303. The clinical tests evaluated 96 subjects which were divided into three group age ranges-infant (new born to 1 year), children (greater than 1 to 5 years old) and adult(greater than5 years old). Each group has 32 patients and 30% of them got temperature equaling or exceeding 38.0℃.
Based on the result, the clinical performance of the subject device complied with the requirement of ASTM E1965-98 (2016).
### Conclusion
Based on the performance testing and compliance with acceptable voluntary standards, we believe that the Non-contact Forehead Thermometer is substantially equivalent to its predicate device in K121428.
