No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and biocompatibility of the drape material, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as a "protective patient covering" to isolate a surgical site from contamination, which is a barrier function rather than a therapeutic one.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a protective patient covering for surgical sites, intended to isolate against contamination. Its description and performance studies focus on material properties, biocompatibility, and physical integrity, not on detecting, monitoring, or predicting health conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly states it is composed of fabric and includes physical performance testing, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as "a protective patient covering, such as to isolate a site of surgical incision from microbial and other contamination." This describes a physical barrier used during a medical procedure, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical composition of the drape (fabric, reinforcement, adhesive). This aligns with a physical barrier device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information. The testing described focuses on physical properties and biocompatibility, which are relevant for a surgical drape.

Therefore, the Convertors® SMS Drapes and Accessories are medical devices, but they do not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The Convertors® Drape material is substantially equivalent to the Kimberly-Clark SMS (Evolution III) drapes:

  • the intended use is the same
  • the performance attributes are similar
    All materials used in the fabrication of this Convertors drape materials were evaluated through biological qualification safety tests as outlined in the ISO 10993 Part-1 "Biological Evaluation of of of Medical Devices". The biocompatibility tests were cytotoxicity, sensitization, and and irritation/ intracutaneous reactivity. Flammability testing was performed. The physical tests performed on the SMS material were hydrostatic head, impact penetration, alcohol repellency, elmendorf tear and tensile. These materials have met the arab requirements of the identified tests and were found to be acceptable for the intended use.

§ 878.4370 Surgical drape and drape accessories.

(a)
Identification. A surgical drape and drape accessories is a device made of natural or synthetic materials intended to be used as a protective patient covering, such as to isolate a site of surgical incision from microbial and other contamination. The device includes a plastic wound protector that may adhere to the skin around a surgical incision or be placed in a wound to cover its exposed edges, and a latex drape with a self-retaining finger cot that is intended to allow repeated insertion of the surgeon's finger into the rectum during performance of a transurethral prostatectomy.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an ear, nose, and throat surgical drape, a latex sheet drape with self-retaining finger cot, a disposable urological drape, a Kelly pad, an ophthalmic patient drape, an ophthalmic microscope drape, an internal drape retention ring (wound protector), or a surgical drape that does not include an antimicrobial agent, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 878.9.
