Intended Use
The Single-Use Surgical Mask with Ear Loop is intended to be worn to protect both the patient and healthcare personnel from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. The Single-Use Surgical Mask with Ear Loop intended for use in infection control practices to reduce the potential exposure to blood and body fluids. This is a single-use, disposable device(s), provided non-sterile. Model: M and L, blue color, and Level 2 barrier level as ASTM F2100.
Device Description
The proposed device(s) are Blue color, and Flat Pleated type mask, utilizing Ear Loops' way for wearing, and they all have Nose Piece design for fitting the facemask around the nose. The proposed device(s) are manufactured with three layers, the inner and outer layers are made of PP spun-bond non-woven fabric, and the middle layer is made of Melt-blown non-woven fabric. The blue colorant is bule masterbatch. The Single-Use Surgical Mask with Ear Loop is held in place over the user's mouth and nose by two elastic ear loops welded to the facemask. The elastic ear loops are made with Polyester. The nose piece contained in the proposed device(s) is in the layers of the facemask to allow the user to fit the facemask around their nose, which is made of malleable aluminum wire. The proposed device(s) are sold non-sterile and are intended to be single-use, disposable devices. There are two models included, Model M and L. The two models share the same indication for use, instruction for use, material used, and structure. The only difference is the dimension.

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

No.
The device is a surgical mask intended for protecting against the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material, not for treating a disease or condition.

No

This device is a surgical mask intended for protection and infection control, not for diagnosing conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical product (surgical mask) made of various materials (PP spun-bond, Melt-blown non-woven fabric, Polyester, aluminum wire) and includes performance testing related to physical properties (filtration, fluid resistance, flammability, biocompatibility). There is no mention of software as a component or the primary function of the 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 against the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material, and for use in infection control practices. This is a physical barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details the physical construction and materials of the mask, which are designed for filtration and barrier protection.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the mask's ability to filter particles and resist fluid penetration, which are relevant to its barrier function, not diagnostic capabilities.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostic testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) obtained from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This surgical 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.
