Intended Use
The MASC Surgical Mask is intended to be worn to protect both the patient and healthcare personnel from transfer of microorganisms, body fluids and particulate material. This 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 provided non-sterile.
Device Description
The MASC Surgical Mask is a three-ply, nonwoven, flat pleated mask. The MASC surgical mask consists of an outer layer (polypropylene spun-bond, blue), a middle filter layer (Polypropylene melt-blown, white), and an inner layer (Polypropylene spun-bond, white). The three layers of the mask body are collated with ultrasonically welded edges and comes in two models, an ear- loop model (NFR03U-01A) and a tie-on model (NFR03U-01B). The polyester spandex blend ear loops or polypropylene tie-on band are ultrasonically bonded to the sides of the non-filtration area of the mask to secure the mask over the user's mouth, nose and chin. A malleable polyethylene coated wire nosepiece is placed within the top binding for comfort and individualized fit over the nose. The MASC Surgical Mask is a single use, disposable, nonsterile device which conforms to ASTM F2100-19 Level 3. This device does not contain any natural rubber latex or fiber glass materials.

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

No
The device is a surgical mask intended to protect against transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material, not to treat or cure a disease or condition.

No

The device is a surgical mask intended for protection and infection control, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, three-ply surgical mask made of nonwoven materials with ear loops or ties and a nosepiece. The performance studies are related to the physical properties and filtration capabilities of the mask, not software functionality.

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 by being worn on the face. This is a physical barrier function.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical construction and materials of the mask.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical properties and barrier effectiveness of the mask (fluid resistance, filtration efficiency, breathability, flammability, biocompatibility). These are not diagnostic tests.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) to diagnose a condition, monitor a disease, or screen for a health issue.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This surgical mask is used in vivo (on the body) as a physical barrier.
