## Indications for Use

The Philips Baby Thermometer Set is intended for determination of a baby's oral, rectal, or axillary temperature. The set contains three items: - A pacifier thermometer to detect baby's oral temperature. - An ordinary pacifier can be used as a daily use pacifier to help accustom the baby to the shape of the pacifier-thermometer. - A digital flexible-tip thermometer to detect baby's rectal or underarm (axillary) temperature.

## Device Story

Philips Baby Thermometer Set (SBC SC530) comprises a pacifier-style thermometer for oral temperature measurement and a digital flexible-tip thermometer for rectal or axillary measurement. Intended for home use by parents to monitor infant health. The device provides temperature readings to assist in clinical decision-making regarding infant care. The set includes an ordinary pacifier to acclimate the infant to the pacifier-thermometer shape.

## Clinical Evidence

No new clinical data provided; relies on clinical testing previously performed for the predicate Paci-Temp and Pro-Flex devices.

## Technological Characteristics

Electronic thermometers; flexible-tip probe; pacifier-integrated sensor. Conforms to ASTM1112 standard for electronic thermometers. Meets CPSC 1511 requirements for baby pacifiers regarding choking hazards and EPA requirements for nitro-amines.

## Regulatory 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 Devices

- Paci-Temp Pacifier Thermometer ([K952073](/device/K952073.md))
- Pro-Flex Digital Thermometer with Flexible Probe ([K961357](/device/K961357.md))

- A digital flexible-tip thermometer that measures baby's body temperature rectally if parents want added reassurance.
- 5. Intended Use:

The Philips Baby Thermometer Set is intended for determination of baby's temperature. The set contains three items:

- A pacifier thermometer to detect baby's oral temperature. -
- An ordinary pacifier can be used as a daily used regular pacifier -
- A digital flexible-tip thermometer to detect baby's rectal or underarm (axillary) temperature.
- 6. Comparison to Predicate Devices:

The Philips Baby Thermometer Set contains a pacifier thermometer and a digital flexible-tip thermometer which are substantially equivalent to the Pacifier thermometer and Pro-Flex Digital Thermometer with Flexible Probe.

- 7. Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Performed for Determination of Substantial Equivalence are as follows:
The Philips Baby Thermometer Set conforms to physical requirements and operating parameters outlined in ASTM1112, "Standard Specification for Electronic Thermometer for Intermittent Determination of Patient Temperature". It also meets EPA requirements for nitro-amines and Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC 1511) requirements for Baby Pacifiers (choking hazards).

- 8. Discussion of Clinical Tests Performed:
Clinical testing previously performed for the Paci-Temp and Pro-Flex also applies to the Philips Baby Thermometer Set.

- 9. Conclusions:
The Philips Baby Thermometer Set is substantially equivalent in intended use, design, material and technology to the Paci-Temp and Pro-Flex, which contains both of these items in one set. Thus, when compared to the predicate devices, the Philips Baby Thermometer Set does not incorporate any significant changes in intended use, method of operation, material, or design that could affect safety or effectiveness.
