NC Thermometer (Gen 3) ISO 80601-2-56 Validation
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this clinical validation is to evaluate the the clinical bias, the limits of agreement, and the clinical repeatability of measuring oral temperature using a new thermometer, NC° Thermometer (Gen 3), compared to a reference clinical thermometer.

Temperature measurement Each subject will have their temperature measured by both the NC° Thermometer (Gen 3) and the reference clinical thermometer. |
Device: NC° Thermometer (Gen 3)
The NC° Thermometer (Gen3) is used orally for the intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature. The device can be used by adults and children over the age of 5 years old.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Clinical Bias [Up to 1 hour]
Clinical bias is the mean difference between the output temperatures of the NC° Thermometer (Gen 3) (DUT) and the reference clinical thermometer (RCT) for a specific reference body site (the mouth) when measured from a selected group of subjects. The clinical bias of the DUT defines closeness between the DUT output temperature and that of the RCT.
- Limits of agreement [Up to 1 hour]
Dispersion of output temperatures around the clinical bias can be estimated by the standard deviation of the temperature differences between the DUT and the RCT as measured from multiple subjects.
- Clinical repeatability [Up to 1 hour]
Clinical repeatability (sometimes called the perceived accuracy) is a measure of the consistency of repeated measurements with identical operating conditions when temperatures are taken within short time intervals from the same measuring site of the same subject by the same operator with the same intermittent clinical thermometer. Clinical repeatability is a pooled standard deviation of triplicate measurements over the population of subjects.
