Can an air-cleaner claim be distinguished from a claim about treating or preventing disease?
Yes.
The filter's label states that it is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease. It also states: “This filter treats the air that passes through it.” and “It works alongside ventilation and cleaning, not in place of them.” The Terms of Use state: “Do not use Site Content to diagnose, treat, or make a patient-care or infection-control decision.” They also state: “A laboratory reduction in a virus, bacterium, fungus, particle, or other endpoint does not establish a clinical benefit, fewer infections, disease prevention or treatment, or improved health.” The Terms further state that the Medical devices chapter describes a Research Application, and that it does not describe a finished product currently available from C-POLAR for that use.
