More Information

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

No
The device description and intended use state that it is a surgical face mask designed to protect from microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material, primarily for infection control. It is not designed for therapeutic purposes or to treat a disease.

No

Explanation: The device is a surgical face mask intended to protect against the transfer of microorganisms and body fluids. It does not diagnose any condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical product (face mask) with material components (four-layer folded masks, ear loops, nose piece). The performance studies focus on physical properties and filtration efficiency, not software functionality.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description and intended use clearly state that this is a surgical face mask worn on the face to protect against the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. It acts as a physical barrier.
  • No mention of testing biological samples: There is no indication that this device is used to analyze or test any biological samples from a patient.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical properties of the mask (filtration efficiency, pressure resistance, flame spread, etc.), not on the accuracy of a diagnostic test.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the 039 Medical Surgical Face Mask is a medical device, but it is not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
