No
The device description and intended use clearly define a simple physical barrier (a bouffant cap) with no mention of software, data processing, or any technology that would involve AI/ML.

No
A bouffant cap is a protective barrier worn by hospital personnel to prevent the transfer of microorganisms; it does not provide any therapeutic benefit to a patient.

No
Explanation: A diagnostic device is used to identify a disease, condition, or state. The Bouffant Cap's intended use is to protect from transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate materials, not to diagnose.

No

The device description clearly indicates a physical item (Bouffant Cap) and does not mention any software component.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Bouffant Cap Function: The description clearly states the Bouffant Cap is a protective garment worn by hospital personnel to prevent the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate materials. It does not involve testing samples from the body.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Bouffant Cap is a personal protective equipment (PPE) item, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
