The device description clearly outlines physical components (spunbond polypropylene, meltblown polypropylene, polyethylene, iron, spandex) and manufacturing processes (welding), indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.

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 masks are for protecting both the patient and healthcare personnel from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. This is a physical barrier function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical construction and materials of the mask. There is no mention of components designed to analyze samples or provide diagnostic information.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This mask does not perform any such analysis.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on physical properties like filtration efficiency, fluid resistance, and flammability, which are relevant to a barrier device, not a diagnostic one.

Therefore, the Medical Surgical Masks described are considered medical devices, but not In Vitro Diagnostic devices.
