#### Justification for the differences:
- 1) Different Indications for Use
As indicated in the comparison table, the application scenario of the predicate device can be used both in hospital and home, while the subject device can be used at home. The absence of application in clinical use reduces the operation risks, no raise of new questions on the safety and effectiveness.
- 2) Different measurement range
The subject device measurement range has been evaluated per the internal standards ISO 80601-2-56, the results tell the accuracy can be matched as claimed, no extra risk will be introduced due to the minor difference.
- 3) Different Operation, storage, and transportation Environments
Minor difference to operation and storage and transportation environments for the subject device, but the system has been proved to be safe and effective since the safety testing was conducted under the suggested environment; Moreover, environment testing data shows the device can work as declared under the suggested conditions. So those changes will not cause any safety and effectiveness problem.
- 4) Different Physical Specifications
The subject and the predicate are of different size but proximity. Moreover, such engineering design has been verified during the international standards, so such minor different ill not raise any safety and effectiveness questions.
- 5) Different Patient Contacting Materials
Minor different material used for the housing, but both comply with the same standards, and evaluated to be safe after the biocompatibility testing as defined in Annex I of ISO 10993-1. Therefore, this material difference will not cause any safety and effectiveness problem.
As seen in the comparison tables, the subject and predicate devices have almost the same design features and performance specifications. The differences between the subject and predicate devices do not raise different
{6}------------------------------------------------
questions of safety oreffectiveness. Moreover, as demonstrated in the bench testing, the different technological characteristics do not affect the safety and effectiveness of the subject device.
# 8. Performance Testing:
Performance data includes "Non-Clinical Data", brief description of which are shown as below.
#### Non-Clinical Data:
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
#### Biocompatibility testing
The biocompatibility evaluation for the digital thermometer were conducted in accordance with the International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process," as recognized by FDA. The contact classification is considered mucosalmembrane contacting for a duration of less than 24 hours. The battery of testing included the following tests:
- Cytotoxicity
- Skin Sensitization
- Skin Irritation
### Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Electrical safety andEMC testing were conducted on the digital thermometer device. The device complies with the IEC 60601-1 Medical electrical equipment Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance for safety, IEC 60601-1-11 MEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT - Part 1-11: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral Standard: Requirements for medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems used in the home healthcare environment, and the IEC 60601-1-2 Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-2: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic disturbances - Requirements and tests standard for EMC.
#### Bench Testing
Bench testing was conducted on the digital thermometer device, consisting of all the accessories in the system. The system complies with the 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 for performance effectiveness.
#### Software Verification and Validation Testing
Software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device was considered as a "moderate" level of concern.
### Clinical data:
The CLINICAL ACCURACY in each adjusted mode was validated per the requirements defined in clause 201.102 of international standard ISO 80601-2-56. This clinical study is a randomization, simple blind homologous control, pairing design of clinical investigation, consists of a minimum of 90 subjects as required, and divided into four age groups as defined in Table 201.102 of the standard shown as below.
{7}------------------------------------------------
| Age group | Age[11] |
|-----------|--------------------------------------------|
| A1 | 0 up to 3 months |
| A2 | 3 months up to 1 year |
| B | older than 1 year and younger than 5 years |
| C | older than 5 years |
Table 201.102 - Subject age groups
No single measurement error exceeding the allowable limit, provides a 99% confidence. A reference device is introduced as required by the standard, and the acceptance criteria is that clinical accuracy of the subject device is at least the same as that of the reference, and the accuracy is ±0.1℃ as claimed in the manual.
## Summary
Based on the non-clinical performance data as documented in the device development, the subject devices were found to have a similar safety and effectiveness profile as the predicate device.
### 9. Conclusion:
The differences between the predicate and the subject device do not raise any new or different questions of safety and effectiveness. Verification and validation testing was conducted on the subject device and all testing passed pre-specified criteria. This premarket notification submission demonstrates that the AOJ-25 series Digital Thermometer is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
