## Indications for Use

The device is a clinical electronic thermometer using an infrared sensor to detect body temperature from the auditory canal in the neonatal, pediatric and adult population used in the home setting.

## Device Story

The TT-001 is an infrared ear thermometer for home use. It utilizes an infrared sensor and an ambient temperature sensor to detect thermal radiation from the tympanic membrane and adjacent ear canal tissue. The device features a waveguide to direct radiation to the sensor. Upon insertion into the auditory canal and activation by the user, the device captures electrical signals from the sensors, which are then amplified, digitized, and processed to calculate core body temperature. The result is displayed on an LCD within one second. The device assists users in monitoring body temperature for clinical decision-making.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Compliance with ASTM E1965-98, IEC60601-1, and IEC60601-1-2 standards was demonstrated to support substantial equivalence.

## Technological Characteristics

Infrared sensor-based clinical electronic thermometer. Features an ambient temperature sensor and waveguide for radiation collection. Operates via signal amplification, digitization, and calculation. Complies with ASTM E1965-98, IEC60601-1, and IEC60601-1-2. Form factor is a handheld ear probe with LCD display.

## 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.

# 3. Trade/proprietary Name: Joinsoon Electronics Mfg. Co., Ltd. Infrared Ear Thermometer, Model TT-001

#### 4. Classification name:

Common Name: Clinical Electronic Thermometer Regulation: 21 CFR Part 880.2910

- 5. Product Code: FLL
#### 6. Predicate Devices:

TempTeller - Infrared Ear Thermometer, Models CT-31/32DX/32/32DX Cleared 510(k) number: K030299

#### 7. Device Description

The device TT-001 is an electronic thermometer using an infrared sensor to detect body temperature from the auditory canal. Its operation is based in the measuring the natural thermalradiation emanating from the tympanic membrane and the adjacent tissue.

The tympanic membrane (eardrum) is thin and flooded with blood at the core temperature. The waveguide, usually a cylindrical pipe with a highly reflective inner surface for confining the radiation, is adaptive to the outer without

contacting the eardrum. When inserting the probe into the ear canal, the radiation fluxes transfer among the tympanum membrane (eardrum), the IR sensor, and the inner surface of the waveguide. The ambient sensor is packed with the IR sensor to monitor the ambient temperature of the IR sensor.

To measure core temperature, an ear thermometer is inserted into a patient's outer ear canal. An activation button is pressed to start the measurement through the radiation exchanges. The electrical signal readouts form the IR sensor and the ambient temperature sensor are fed to the circuit for amplification, digitization and calculation. The measured temperature then appears on the LCD. The total operation takes one second.

The Fundamental Scientific technology of the modified device remains the same as that of the 510(k) cleared device.

#### 8. Intended Use:

The device is a clinical electronic thermometer using an infrared sensor to detect body temperature from the auditory canal in the neonatal, pediatric and adult population used in the home setting.

#### 9. Substantial Equivalence Discussion:

The Joinsoon Electronics MFG. Co., Ltd. High Speed Digital Thermometer Model TT-001 is substantially equivalent to the original 510(K) 030299, Model CT-32DX in all aspects, e.g., technological characteristics, modes of operation, performance characteristics, intended use, etc.,

The only differences in the predicate version of the Digital thermometer are PCB layout involving Performance Specifications and Housing for Ergonomics of the Patient-Ul.

The Fundamental Scientific technology of the modified device remains the same as that of the 510(k) cleared device.

# 10. Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Performed for Determination of Substantial Equivalence are as follows:

Compliance to applicable voluntary standards includes ASTM E1965-98, as well as IEC60601-1 and IEC60601-1-2 requirements.

Guidance documents included the "FDA Guidance on the content of Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions for Clinical Electronic Thermometers".

#### 11. Conclusion:

The Joinsoon Electronics MFG. Co., Ltd. High Speed Digital Thermometer Model TT-001 has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as the Predicate device. Moreover, bench testing contained in this submission supplied demonstrate that any differences in their characteristics do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. Thus the Joinsoon Electronics MFG. Co., Ltd. High Speed Digital Thermometer Model TT-001, is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
