The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and filtration capabilities of a surgical mask, with no mention of AI or ML.
No
A therapeutic device is used to treat a disease, injury, or other medical condition. A surgical mask is a protective barrier, not a treatment device.
No
The device is a surgical mask that functions as a barrier to prevent the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate materials. It does not analyze patient data or provide medical diagnoses.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components (pleated 3-ply masks, layers of tissue/polypropylene, ear-loops, nose piece, anti-fog strip, splash visors) and the performance studies focus on physical properties (filtration efficiency, pressure differential, flammability, fluid resistance), indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the surgical mask is for protecting operating room personnel and patients from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate materials. This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic function.
- Device Description: The description details the physical construction of the mask (materials, layers, ear-loops, nose piece). There is no mention of any components or processes that would be used to test or analyze samples from the human body.
- Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring specific substances or markers
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions.
The device is a personal protective equipment (PPE) designed to prevent the spread of contaminants, which is a different regulatory category than IVDs.

§ 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.
