Intended Use
The Disposable medical face mask is intended to be worn to protect both the patient and healthcare personnel from transfer of microorganisms, body fluids and particulate material. The face mask is 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.
Device Description
The disposable medical face mask is single use, three-layer, flat-pleated style with ear loops and nose piece. The mask is manufactured with three layers, the inner and outer layers are made of nonwoven fabrics, and the middle layer is made of melt blown fabrics. The ear loops are held in place over the users' mouth and nose by two elastic ear loops welded to the facemask. The elastic ear loops are not made with natural rubber latex. The nose piece in the layers of facemask is to allow the user to fit the facemask around their nose, which is made of galvanized iron wire. The disposable medical face mask will be provided in blue. The masks are sold non-sterile and are intended to be single use, disposable devices.

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

No

The device is a medical face mask, primarily intended for infection control by preventing the transfer of microorganisms and body fluids. It is not designed to treat a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: This device is a medical face mask. Its intended use is to protect the patient and healthcare personnel from microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material, functioning as a barrier rather than for diagnosing any condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, multi-layer face mask made of nonwoven and melt-blown fabrics with ear loops and a nose piece. The performance studies focus on physical properties like filtration efficiency, pressure resistance, and flame spread, which are characteristic of hardware devices, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the mask is for protecting individuals from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material by being worn over the mouth and nose. This is a physical barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical construction of the mask (layers, ear loops, nose piece). There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any components used to analyze biological samples.
  • Performance Studies and Key Metrics: The performance studies focus on the physical and filtration properties of the mask (BFE, differential pressure, PFE, synthetic blood penetration, flame spread). These are tests of the mask's ability to act as a barrier, not tests to diagnose a condition or analyze a biological sample.
  • No Mention of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This face mask does not perform any of these functions.

§ 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.
