No
The device description and intended use clearly indicate that the device is a physical product (surgical apparels) and there is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI/ML.

No.
The surgical apparels described are for protection from microorganisms and fluids, not for treating any specific medical condition or disease.

No
The device is described as "Surgical Apparels, shoe and head covers," which are worn to protect against the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material during surgical procedures. This function is preventative or protective, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states "Head and Shoe Covers," which are physical products, 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 to protect surgical patients and personnel from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material during surgical procedures. This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is described as surgical apparels, shoe and head covers. These are physical barriers.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples (like blood, urine, tissue), detecting biomarkers, or providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment decisions based on in vitro analysis.
  • No Mention of IVD-Related Terms: The document does not contain any terms typically associated with IVD devices, such as "assay," "reagent," "analyzer," "diagnostic," "test," etc.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This device does not perform such a function.

§ 878.4040 Surgical apparel.

(a)
Identification. Surgical apparel are devices that are intended to be worn by operating room personnel during surgical procedures to protect both the surgical patient and the operating room personnel from transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. Examples include surgical caps, hoods, masks, gowns, operating room shoes and shoe covers, and isolation masks and gowns. Surgical suits and dresses, commonly known as scrub suits, are excluded.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls) for surgical gowns and surgical masks. A surgical N95 respirator or N95 filtering facepiece respirator is not exempt if it is intended to prevent specific diseases or infections, or it is labeled or otherwise represented as filtering surgical smoke or plumes, filtering specific amounts of viruses or bacteria, reducing the amount of and/or killing viruses, bacteria, or fungi, or affecting allergenicity, or it contains coating technologies unrelated to filtration (e.g., to reduce and or kill microorganisms). Surgical N95 respirators and N95 filtering facepiece respirators are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 878.9, and the following conditions for exemption:(i) The user contacting components of the device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(ii) Analysis and nonclinical testing must:
(A) Characterize flammability and be demonstrated to be appropriate for the intended environment of use; and
(B) Demonstrate the ability of the device to resist penetration by fluids, such as blood and body fluids, at a velocity consistent with the intended use of the device.
(iii) NIOSH approved under its regulation.
(2) Class I (general controls) for surgical apparel other than surgical gowns and surgical masks. The class I device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 878.9.
