Operation: battery-powered (3V Lithium); user-activated via 'On' and 'Mode' buttons. Used in clinical or home settings by patients or healthcare providers. Rapid thermal equilibrium achieved in ~5 seconds (oral/rectal) or ~20 seconds (axillary). Provides quick, accurate temperature readings to assist in clinical assessment of fever or health status. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Device demonstrated compliance with relevant safety and performance standards. ## Technological Characteristics Electronic contact thermometer; thermistor sensor; stainless steel cap; rigid plastic housing; LCD display; 3V Lithium battery power; PCBA-based processing. ## 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 - ThermoTek Quickcare ([K010502](/device/K010502.md)) - B-D Digital Thermometer, Model 403001 ([K935267](/device/K935267.md)) - Toshiba Digital Clinical Thermometer, Model ME-171B ([K881909](/device/K881909.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

It consists of a commercial thermistor in a stainless steel cap, a tip and rigid plastic housing that contains a PCBA, a LCD and two flexible buttons (On and Mode). The device is operated on a single 3V Lithium battery. Thanks to its small size, the thermistor reaches a thermal equilibrium with the measured subject in about 5 seconds in a bath and in oral and rectal modes, and in about 20 sec in axial mode,. ## Intended Use The ThermoTek Q5 is intended for taking body temperature orally, rectally or under the arm. #### Performance Data The ThermoTek Q5 was tested in a series of safety and performance tests, showing its compliance with the relevant standards, without raising any safety and/or effectiveness issues. {1}------------------------------------------------ # Statement of substantial equivalence The device is substantially equivalent to the following products in commercial distribution: - 1.
