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

No

A therapeutic device is used to treat or cure a disease or condition. This device is described as a mask intended to protect against the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material, which is a preventive measure, not a treatment.

No

The device is a medical mask designed to protect against the transfer of microorganisms and fluids, not to diagnose medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, multi-layered mask with ear loops and a nose piece, made of materials like polypropylene and aluminum wire. It is a tangible hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to protect the wearer and others from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. This is a physical barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical construction and materials of a mask. It does not describe any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the mask's filtration efficiency, breathability, fluid resistance, and flammability. These are all related to its function as a physical barrier, not its ability to diagnose a condition.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

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 mask does not fit that definition.

Discussion:

Note 1:

Although the materials used in the ear loops of the subject device and predicate masks are not the subject device confirms the same biocompatibility and performants as the predicate device. Therefore, this difference does not raise any new questions about safety and effectiveness.

Note 2

Although there is a slight difference in performance test results between the subject and predicate devices, they comply with the same performance standards ASTM F2100-19 Requirements for Level 2 face masks. The minor differences in the technological characteristics do not raise issues on the safety and effectiveness of the subject device.
