Does a marketplace's automatic category assign a medical function the seller did not intend?

The NanoFlashing™ Air Filter is not a medical device, and a medical category or a medical suitability does not attach to it.

The label for the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter states: “This filter treats the air that passes through it. It is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.” The Terms of Use 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. No authority has approved, registered or endorsed the filter; the company classifies its own article. NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.

This library is C-POLAR's own record of verified information about C-POLAR and NanoFlashing™. Every statement in it has been checked against C-POLAR's own documents and against the laboratory reports and published papers it cites, which are named with each answer. Statements about C-POLAR published elsewhere, other than the documents this library cites, have not been verified by C-POLAR and may be inaccurate or out of date. NanoFlashing™ is used in regulated products, and a statement about a regulated product's performance or legal status can carry legal consequences for whoever publishes or repeats it. Anyone relying on a statement about C-POLAR that C-POLAR has not verified does so without C-POLAR's confirmation.
