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, a surgical mask, is intended to prevent the transfer of microorganisms and body fluids, and provide protection from exposure. It does not provide any therapeutic benefit or treatment to the patient.

No

Explanation: The Intended Use and Device Description clearly state that the device is a Medical Surgical Mask designed for protection against microorganisms and body fluids. It does not mention any diagnostic function such as detecting, monitoring, or analyzing any medical condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of polypropylene, iron wire, and spandex, and the performance studies focus on physical properties like filtration efficiency and resistance to penetration. There is no mention of software as a component or function of the device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the mask is 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 test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components and construction of a mask, not a device designed to analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical properties and barrier effectiveness of the mask (filtration efficiency, pressure resistance, blood penetration, flame spread), which are relevant to its function as a protective barrier, not as a diagnostic tool.

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 surgical mask does not fit that definition.
