Output: digital temperature reading on LCD; low battery indicator. Usage: home environment; patient self-use or caregiver use. Benefit: rapid (10-second) body temperature measurement.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Device verified against ASTM E1112-98 standard for clinical electronic thermometers. Compliance with EN 60601-1, EN 60601-1-1, and EN 60601-1-2 also confirmed.

## Technological Characteristics

Thermistor-based sensing; ASIC-controlled hard-wired circuit; 1.5V DC battery powered; LCD display; buzzer for audible feedback. Complies with ASTM E1112-98, EN 60601-1, EN 60601-1-1, and EN 60601-1-2.

## 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

- Thermometer, model ST8631 ([K021048](/device/K021048.md))

### 510(K) SUMMARY

This summary of 510(k) safety and effectiveness information is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of SMDA 1990 and 21 CFR 807.92, and the relevant 510(k) submission quidance.

The assigned 510(k) number is: Submitter's Identifications: Company: Mesure Technology Co., Ltd. Address: 7F, No. 88, Sec. 1, KwangFu Road, Sanchung City, Taipei Hsien, Taiwan, R.O.C. Contact person: John Chen / Ph. D.

- 1. Name of the Device: 10-second Digital Thermometer, model ST87, ST89, ST80, and ST8B.
- 2. Information of the 510(k) Cleared Device (Predicate Device): Thermometer, model ST8631 (K021048).

#### 3. Device Description:

The 10-second digital thermometer, ST87, ST89, ST80, and ST8B, are the electronic thermometers by using a the temperature sensor. The signal of sensor is calculated and displayed by an ASIC (Application Specific IC) - controlled circuit, which is considered the hard-wire control instead of programmable control.

From the construction point of view, the digital thermometer comprises of a thermistor for measuring sensor, a reference resistor for comparison of temperature, a buzzer for sounding effect an ASIC for calculating, and LCD for displaying the measuring temperature digitally for which the thermistor contacts.

This system uses a 1.5V DC battery for operation of complete system whenever the battery is low, the ASIC circuit will detect the low battery condition automatically, and displays 'Low battery' in LCD display. Regarding the performance of ST87, ST89, ST80, and ST8B, it was designed and verified according to the US standard ASTM E 1112-98.

- 4 Intended Use:
The device measures the body temperature of a patient by means of a sensor coupled with an electronic signal amplification, conditioning and digital LCD (display) unit. The device is reusable and intended for oral, axillary or rectal temperature measurements for home use on people of all ages.

- 5. Comparison to the 510(k) Cleared Device (Predicate Device):
Since the new models ST87, ST89, ST80, and ST8B were developed from the cleared device ST8631 through the design control procedures of Measure Technology Co., Ltd, with only the small change in dimension and device housing, the new device is substantial equivalence to that of device being modified, ST8631..

- Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Performed Determination of Substantial Equivalence are as 6. follows:
Compliance to applicable voluntary standards includes ASTM E1112: 1998, as well as EN 60601-1, EN 60601-1-1, and EN 60601-1-2 requirement.

#### 7. Conclusions

The Mesure 10-second digital thermometer, models ST87, ST89, ST80, and ST8B have the same intended use and technological characteristics as the cleared device of Measure's model ST8631. Moreover, verification and validation tests contained in this submission demonstrate that the difference in the submitted demonstrate could maintain the same safety and effectiveness as that of cleared device.

In the other words, those engineering difference do not: (1) affect the intended use or (2) alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device.
