Device uses heat conduction principle to detect temperature at probe tip. Mathematical algorithm processes heat transfer data to calculate maximum body temperature without waiting for thermal equilibrium. Measurement time: 4-6 seconds. Intended for OTC use by patients or caregivers. Output is a digital temperature reading. Benefits include rapid, accurate temperature determination for clinical or home monitoring. ## Clinical Evidence Safety and efficacy established through non-clinical and clinical comparative testing against market-cleared devices. Device conforms to ASTM E1112 and IEC 601-1 standards. ## Technological Characteristics Predictive clinical thermometer; heat conduction sensing; temperature range 35.5°C to 42.0°C (95.5°F to 107.6°F); measurement time 4-6 seconds. Conforms to ASTM E1112 and IEC 601-1 standards. ## 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 - SureTemp™ Thermometer System ([K964643](/device/K964643.md)) - B-D Flexible Thermometer ([K902624](/device/K902624.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Up-Grade Electrical Thermometer 510(k) Number K ## Applicant's Name: Medisim Ltd. The Technology Park Manhat Jerusalem 38900, Israel Tel: 972-2-679-9204 Fax: 972-2-679-9198 #### Contact Person: Jonathan S. Kahan Hogan & Hartson L.L.P. 555 Thirteenth St, NW Washington, DC 20004 Tel: (202) 637-5794 Fax: (202) 637-5910 Date Prepared: November 2, 1998 ## Trade Name: Up-Grade Electrical Thermometer # Classification Name: Clinical Electronic Thermometer #### Common Name: Electronic Thermometer ### Classification: Clinical Electronic Thermometers are class II devices (product code 80 FLL) and are reviewed by the General Hospital Division. {1}------------------------------------------------ #### Indication for Use: The Up-Grade is an over-the-counter, non-sterile, reusable clinical thermometer intended for the determination of oral, rectal and axillary body temperature determination in humans. #### Predicate Device: The Up-Grade is substantially equivalent to Diatek Instruments, Inc.'s SureTemp™ Thermometer System, (K964643) and Becton Dickinson and Company's B-D Flexible Thermometer (K902624). ### Device Description: The Up-Grade is a compact predictive clinical thermometer designed to measure human body temperature by detecting heat from three different body sites: axilla, rectum and mouth, by using the heat conduction principle and prediction. The device is designed to calculate the maximum temperature of probe tip in contact with the body site, without waiting for thermal equilibrium to occur, by heat transfer data and mathematical algorithm. The temperature reading range is from 35.5℃ to 42.0℃ (95.5℃ to 107.6℃F) and the time of measurement varies between 4 to 6 seconds. ### Non-Clinical and Clinical Tests Performed for Determination of Substantial Equivalence: The Up-Grade Electrical Thermometer conforms with the following voluntary standards: ASTM E1112 and IEC 601-1. Additionally, the safety and efficacy performance of the device has been non-clinically and clinically established through comparative testing with market-cleared devices. #### Conclusion: Based on the safety and performance testing and compliance with acceptable voluntary standards, we believe that the over-the-counter Up-Grade Electrical Thermometer is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices and the device does not raise new questions of safety and efficacy. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image is a black and white logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
