No
The device description and performance studies focus on the material properties and barrier protection of surgical gowns, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

No.
The device is a surgical gown, which is intended for protection from transfer of microorganisms and body fluids, not for treating a disease or condition.

No

The device is a surgical gown intended to protect patients and personnel from microorganism transfer, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a surgical gown made of fabric and film, indicating it is a physical, hardware-based medical device, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the gowns are for protecting operating room personnel and patients from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material during surgical procedures. This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic function.
  • Device Description: The description details the materials and construction of the gown, which are physical barriers. There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any components used to test samples from the human body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment decisions based on sample analysis.

This device is a Class II medical device (based on the information provided and the typical classification of surgical gowns) intended for infection control and barrier protection in a surgical setting.

§ 878.4040 Surgical apparel.

(a)
Identification. Surgical apparel are devices that are intended to be worn by operating room personnel during surgical procedures to protect both the surgical patient and the operating room personnel from transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. Examples include surgical caps, hoods, masks, gowns, operating room shoes and shoe covers, and isolation masks and gowns. Surgical suits and dresses, commonly known as scrub suits, are excluded.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls) for surgical gowns and surgical masks. A surgical N95 respirator or N95 filtering facepiece respirator is not exempt if it is intended to prevent specific diseases or infections, or it is labeled or otherwise represented as filtering surgical smoke or plumes, filtering specific amounts of viruses or bacteria, reducing the amount of and/or killing viruses, bacteria, or fungi, or affecting allergenicity, or it contains coating technologies unrelated to filtration (e.g., to reduce and or kill microorganisms). Surgical N95 respirators and N95 filtering facepiece respirators are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 878.9, and the following conditions for exemption:(i) The user contacting components of the device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(ii) Analysis and nonclinical testing must:
(A) Characterize flammability and be demonstrated to be appropriate for the intended environment of use; and
(B) Demonstrate the ability of the device to resist penetration by fluids, such as blood and body fluids, at a velocity consistent with the intended use of the device.
(iii) NIOSH approved under its regulation.
(2) Class I (general controls) for surgical apparel other than surgical gowns and surgical masks. The class I device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 878.9.
