Intended Use
The Surgical Face Mask of different colors (Blue, White, and Green) is a device intended to be worn by operating room personnel during surgical procedures to protect both the surgical patient and the operation room personnel from transfer of bacteria, body fluid and particulate material. This Surgical Face Mask is non-sterilized and disposable.
Device Description
Acme Filter Mask Inc. Surgical Face Mask with Ear-Loop is flat pleated 3-ply (at least) masks with an inner and outer layer (spunbonded polypropylene) that sandwich a melt blown polypropylene filter material, also with elastic loops. The nosepiece for all Acme Filter Mask Inc. Surgical Face Masks with Ear-Loop are malleable aluminum wire. All the materials used in the construction of the Acme Filter Mask Inc. Surgical Face Masks with Ear-Loop are being used in currently marked devices.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and filtration capabilities of a surgical face mask, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
A therapeutic device is one that treats or alleviates a disease or condition. This device is a surgical face mask intended to "protect both the surgical patient and the operation room personnel from transfer of bacteria, body fluid and particulate material," which is a protective function, not a therapeutic one.

No

Explanation: The device is a surgical face mask designed to protect against the transfer of bacteria, body fluid, and particulate material. Its intended use is protection during surgical procedures, not for diagnosing any condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (spunbonded polypropylene, melt blown polypropylene filter material, elastic loops, malleable aluminum wire) and the performance studies are focused on physical properties and filtration efficiency, not software functionality.

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 surgical patient and operating room personnel from the transfer of bacteria, body fluid, and particulate material. This is a physical barrier function, not a diagnostic function.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical construction of the mask (layers, materials, ear loops, nosepiece). There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any components used to analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: The document does not mention any elements related to:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring specific substances (analytes) in those samples
    • Providing information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition based on sample analysis.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical and filtration properties of the mask (fluid resistance, filtration efficiency, differential pressure, flammability, biocompatibility). These are relevant to its function as a barrier, not as a diagnostic tool.
  • Key Metrics: The key metrics (BFE, Delta-P, Particulate Filtration Efficiency) are measures of the mask's ability to filter particles and allow for breathing, not diagnostic accuracy.

In summary, the device's purpose and characteristics align with a personal protective equipment (PPE) device designed to prevent the spread of contaminants, not a device used to perform diagnostic tests on biological samples.

§ 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.
