Intended Use
The Kimberly-Clark KC100 Face Mask(s) is intended to be worn to protect both the patient and healthcare personnel from transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. These face masks are intended for use in infection control practices to reduce the potential exposure of the wearer to blood and body fluids. The Kimberly-Clark KC100 face mask(s) is a single use, disposable device(s), provided non-sterile.
Device Description
The Kimberly-Clark KC100 Procedure Mask(s) is a three layer mask, constructed of nonwoven polyester blends and polypropylene materials. Bindings are nonwoven polyester. The mask is provided with earloops or ties in either knifted polyester/lycra or nonwoven polyester. A malleable nosepiece is placed within the bindings for comfort and individualized fit around the wearer's nose and may or may not contain a fog free strip. Kimberly-Clark KC100 Procedure Mask(s) will be provided in a variety of colors, with and without a protective visor. Kimberly-Clark KC100 Procedure Mask(s) is a single use, disposable device, provided non-sterile.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on material properties and filtration efficiency, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as a face mask intended for protection and infection control, not for treating any medical condition or disease.

No
The device is a face mask intended for protection and infection control, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical face mask constructed of nonwoven materials, not software.

Based on the provided information, the Kimberly-Clark KC100 Face Mask is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the mask is for protecting both the patient and healthcare personnel from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. This is a physical barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical construction and materials of the mask. There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any components used for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing a sample (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring a substance in a sample
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening

The tests conducted (BFE, flammability, particulate penetration, biocompatibility, synthetic blood penetration) are all related to the physical performance and safety of the mask as a barrier, not its ability to perform a diagnostic test.

§ 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.
