## Indications for Use

The Dual Mode Infrared Thermometer (Model DM-IR200) is intended for the intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperatures. It is for non-professional use by consumers at home. The ear canal mode is indicated for use by people above one year old and the skin/forehead mode is indicated for use by people of all ages.

## Device Story

Hand-held, battery-powered infrared thermometer; measures thermal infrared energy from ear canal or forehead skin. Used by consumers at home for intermittent body temperature monitoring. Device converts detected infrared radiation into temperature readings displayed on LCD; includes buzzer for alerts. Provides 20-set memory storage. Enables non-professional users to track temperature; aids in identifying fever or monitoring health status at home.

## Clinical Evidence

Clinical study of 105 subjects (including infants <1 year, children 1-5 years, and patients >5 years) with >30% febrile subjects. Evaluated clinical bias and repeatability per ASTM E1965. Results: clinical bias ≤ 0.06°C (uncertainty ≤ 0.02°C); clinical repeatability 0.1°C. Demonstrated substantial clinical agreement with predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

Infrared radiation detection; dual-mode (ear/forehead). Powered by two 1.5V AAA batteries. LCD display with buzzer. Memory capacity: 20 sets. Complies with ASTM E1965, IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, ISO 10993-1/5/10, IEC 62304, and ISO 14971. Biocompatible materials per ISO 10993.

## 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.

## 4. Device Description

The Dual Mode Infrared Thermometer (Model DM-IR200) is a hand-held, non-sterile, reusable, battery powered device designed to measure human body temperature via one of two body sites: the ear canal or skin of the forehead.

The DM-IR200 thermometer utilizes infrared technology to measure the natural thermal infrared energy emitted from the surface of the forehead or from the eardrum tissue.

## 5. Indications for Use

The Dual Mode Infrared Thermometer (Model DM-IR200) is intended for the intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperatures. It is for non

{4}------------------------------------------------

professional use by consumers at home. The ear canal mode is indicated for use by people above one year old and the skin/forehead mode is indicated for use by people of all ages.

#### 6. Comparison to Predicate Devices and Substantial Equivalence

The Dual Mode Infrared Thermometer (Model DM-IR200) is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, which uses the same fundamental technology, is similar in design and has the same intended use.

The proposed device and predicate devices all utilize an infrared technology to measure natural infrared energy emitted from the skin surface of the forehead or from the eardrum tissue.

The proposed device and predicate devices are intended for the intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperatures by detecting body temperatures from the forehead or auditory canal. The proposed and predicate devices are designed for nonprofessional use by consumers at home. The intended population of the proposed device is all ages for the forehead mode and above one year old for the ear mode. There is a minor difference with the predicate devices with intended population of all ages.

The proposed and predicate devices mainly differ by the measurement range, memory sets, power supply and storage condition. A side-by-side comparison of the proposed device and the predicate device is included in the 510(k) submission.

Comparison of basic technological characteristics

{5}------------------------------------------------

## 7. Performance Summary

{6}------------------------------------------------

The Dual Mode Infrared Thermometer (Model DM-IR200) conforms to applicable standards that include:

ASTM E1965 Standard specification for infrared thermometers for intermittent determination of patient temperature

IEC 60601-1 Medical electrical equipment - Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance

IEC 60601-1-2 Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-2: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral standard: Electromagnetic compatibility

ISO 10993-1 Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process

ISO 10993-5 Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 5: Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity

ISO 10993-10 Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 10: Tests for irritation and skin sensitization

IEC 62304 Medical device software - Software life cycle processes

ISO 14971 Medical devices – Application of risk management to medical devices

Guidance document includes the FDA Guidance on the Content of Premarket Notification 510(k) Submissions for Clinical Electronic Thermometers.

#### 8. Clinical Testing

A clinical study was performed to determine the clinical accuracy and to provide comparison with predicate device. The three groups of subjects being tested were: 1) infants under 1 year old, 2) children between 1 and 5 years old, and 3) patients over 5 vears old.

The study included 105 subjects, with 33.3% febrile subjects. For each age group, the ratio of febrile subjects was more than 30%. The study excluded subjects with medical conditions such as inflammation at the measuring sites and subjects using medications known to affect body temperature. From each test site, a total of 105 data sets were collected.

The clinical accuracy of the proposed device was evaluated by determining two kinds of errors in accordance with requirements of ASTM E1965 - clinical bias with stated uncertainty and clinical repeatability. The clinical test results showed that there is substantial clinical agreement and repeatability between the proposed device and

{7}------------------------------------------------

predicate devices. The calculated clinical bias did not exceed 0.06°C, with uncertainty that did not exceed 0.02°C. The clinical repeatability was 0.1°C.

#### 9. Conclusion

The Dual Mode Infrared Thermometer (Model DM-IR200) has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as the predicate devices. In addition, compliance with applicable voluntary standards, as well as performance testing demonstrate that any differences in technological characteristics do not raise any new questions of safety and/or effectiveness. Therefore, we conclude that the Dual Mode Infrared Thermometer (Model DM-IR200) is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
