Intended Use
The ASEPT® Surgical Face Mask is indicated as a protective nose and mouth covering for healthcare workers and patients involved in medical and surgical procedures. The masks are indicated in any procedure or situation where there is a risk of exposure to microorganisms and body fluids.
Device Description
ASEPT® Surgical Face Mask is a single-use, three layer, flat-folded mask with ear loops and nose piece. The inner and outer layers are constructed of spun-bond polypropylene and the middle layer is constructed of melt blown polypropylene filter. The mask is held in place over the mouth and nose by two elastic loops welded to the facemask. The elastic loops are not made with natural rubber latex. The nose piece is made of malleable polyethylene with aluminum wire and allows the user to fit the facemask around their nose. The ASEPT® Surgical Face Mask is sold non-sterile and is intended to be a single use, disposable device.

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 a surgical face mask, which acts as a protective barrier to prevent exposure to microorganisms and body fluids. It is not designed to treat or alleviate a disease or condition.

No
This device is a surgical face mask designed for protection, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical, single-use surgical face mask made of polypropylene layers, ear loops, and a nose piece. It is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide a physical barrier to protect the nose and mouth from microorganisms and body fluids during medical and surgical procedures. This is a physical barrier function, not a diagnostic function.
  • Device Description: The description details the materials and construction of a physical mask. There are no components or mechanisms described that would be used to test or analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Testing of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detection or measurement of analytes
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment decisions based on sample analysis.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical barrier properties and biocompatibility of the mask (fluid resistance, filtration efficiency, flammability, etc.), not on diagnostic accuracy or performance with biological samples.
  • Predicate Device: The predicate device is also a "Surgical Mask," which is a non-IVD device.

In summary, the ASEPT® Surgical Face Mask is a medical device intended for physical protection, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

§ 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.
