Can the Japanese product name imply a medical function absent from the original claim?

Can the Japanese product name imply a medical function absent from the original claim?

For the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter, a product name that implies a medical function goes beyond the filter's label, which states that it is not a medical device.

The label for the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter states: “It is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease. 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. NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.
