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

No.
The device description and intended use focus on protection and prevention, not on treating a disease or condition in a patient.

No

The device is a face mask intended to protect against transfer of microorganisms and fluids, and its performance studies test filtration efficiency and resistance to penetration, not diagnostic capabilities.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical face mask constructed of nonwoven materials, with earloops or ties, and a nosepiece. It is a tangible, disposable hardware device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

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 function performed in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details the physical construction of the mask, materials used, and features like earloops/ties and a nosepiece. There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any components used for analyzing biological samples.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical properties of the mask as a barrier (filtration efficiency, resistance to penetration by blood, flammability) and biocompatibility. These are not diagnostic performance metrics.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This face mask does not perform any such function.

§ 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.
