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

No.
The device description and intended use clearly state its purpose is to protect against the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material, not to provide therapy.

No

This device is described as a medical disposable face mask intended for protection from microorganisms, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, disposable face mask made of various materials (polypropylene, polyethylene wire) and includes performance testing related to physical properties (fluid resistance, filtration efficiency, flammability), indicating it is a hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for protection (patient and healthcare personnel) from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic function.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical construction of a face mask, designed to filter and block substances. There is no mention of components or mechanisms for analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical properties of the mask related to its barrier function (fluid resistance, filtration efficiency, breathability, flammability). These are not diagnostic performance metrics.
  • No Mention of Biological Samples or Analysis: There is no indication that this device interacts with or analyzes biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide diagnostic information.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This face mask does not fit that description.
