Operation: device inserted into ear canal; user presses start button; shutter opens; electrical signal from detector amplified and calculated; temperature displayed. Used in home setting by patients or caregivers. Output: core body temperature reading. Benefit: rapid, non-invasive core temperature measurement.
Clinical Evidence
Controlled human clinical studies conducted comparing the device to standard oral/rectal thermometers. Patient population included neonates, pediatrics, and adults. Sample sizes were statistically justified. Results demonstrated performance equivalence to predicate devices and standard clinical thermometers.
Technological Characteristics
Infrared sensor (pyroelectric heat sensor/ECPR principle); ambient temperature sensor; barrel with reflective inner surface; shutter mechanism. Compliance with ASTM E1112, ASTM E1104, IEC 60601-1, and IEC 60601-1-2. Electronic circuit for signal amplification and calculation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for neonatal, pediatric, and adult populations for the measurement of body temperature via the auditory canal in a home setting.
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.

#### 4. Device Description:
The OSTI Temp - Teller Infrared Tympanic Thermometer, Models TT-200, TT-201, is an electronic thermometer using an infrared sensor (pyroelectric heat sensor, employing the principle of the electrically calibrated pyroelectric radiometer (ECPR)) to detect body temperature from the auditory canal. Its operation is based on measuring the natural thermal radiation emanating from the tympanic membrane and the adjacent surfaces.
OSTI Temp -Teller Infrared Tympanic Thermometer, Model TT-201, consists mainly of five parts: an IR sensor, a barrel, a shutter, an ambient temperature sensor, and the associated circuit.
{1}------------------------------------------------
The ear canal guides sound to the eardrum, which is thin and flooded with blood at the core temperature. The barrel, usually a cylindrical pipe with a highly reflective inner surface for confining the radiation, is adaptive to the outer canal without contracting the eardrum. The shutter controls when the flux is transferred to the IR sensor. When the shutter is open, radiative fluxes transfer among the tympanum, the IR sensor, and the inner surface of the barrel. The ambient sensor is mounted near the IR sensor to monitor the ambient temperature.
To measure core temperature, a tympanic thermometer is inserted into a patient's outer ear canal. A start button is pressed to open the shutter momentarily and to start the measurement through the radiation exchanges. The electrical signal read out from the detector is fed to the circuit for amplification and calculation. The measured temperature then appears on a display. The total operation takes a few seconds.
### 5. Intended Use:
The device is an electronic clinical thermometer using an infrared sensor to detect body temperature from the auditory canal in the neonatal, pediatric and adult population used in the home setting.
### 6. Comparison to Predicate Devices:
The OSTI Temp Teller - Infrared Tympanic Thermometer. Models TT-200 and TT-201 are substantially equivalent to the following infrared ear thermometers.
- ThermoScan Instant Thermometer, K# 902912, K# 930680, K# 954523 and . K# 964605, ThermoScan Inc. and.
- Omron Gentle Temp MC 505, K# 922344, Omron Health Care. .
The OSTI Temp Teller is similar in design and intended use to the predicates differing only in the infrared sensor used with auto calibration and/or method used to determine/control the reference temperature.
# 7. Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Performed for Determination of Substantial Equivalence are as follows:
Compliance to applicable voluntary standards includes ASTM E1112. and ASTM E1104, as well as IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 requirements.
Guidance Documents included the FDA "Guidance On The Content of Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions for Clinical Electronic Thermometers".
{2}------------------------------------------------
## Discussion of Clinical Tests Performed: 8.
Controlled human clinical studies were conducted using the OSTI Temp Teller Thermometer and predicate devices. Clinical data is presented comparing the IR thermometers to standard oral/rectal thermometers with readings representing a conventional/currently accepted reading, i.e., rectal or oral. The patient population is well represented (neonatal, pediatrics and adults), and the number of patients have been statistically justified.
### 9. Conclusions:
The OSTI Temp Teller - Infrared Tympanic Thermometer, Models TT-200 and TT-201, have the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as the ThermoScan Instant Thermometer and Omron Gentle Temp MC 505 devices. Moreover, bench testing contained in this submission and clinical testing supplied demonstrate that any differences in their technological characteristics do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. Thus, the OSTI Temp Teller Infrared Tympanic Thermometer, Models TT-200 and TT-201 is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
