Intended Use

The Disposable Medical Mask is intended to be worn to protect both the patient and healthcare personnel from transfer of microorganisms, body fluids and particulate material. The face mask is intended for use in infection control practices to reduce the potential exposure to blood and body fluids. This is a single-use, disposable device(s) provided non-sterile. It is intended for adults only (greater than 21 years of age).

Device Description

The Disposable Medical Mask is a blue, flat pleated type mask, which utilizes an Earloop to Wear. It has a nose piece design to fit the facemask around the nose. The Disposable Medical Masks are manufactured with three layers and the inner and outer layers are made of spun-bond polypropylene, and the middle laver is made of melt-blown polypropylene filter. The model of the proposed device, earloop, is held in place over the user's mouth and nose by two elastic ear loops welded to the facemask. The elastic ear loops are not made with natural rubber latex. The nose piece in the mask is in the facemask layers to allow the user to fit the facemask around their nose, made of malleable aluminum wire. The Disposable Medical Masks are sold non-sterile and are intended to be a single-use, disposable device.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a disposable medical mask. It details the device's technical characteristics and performance testing against established standards, primarily for determining substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

Here's the information requested based on the document:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The device is seeking to meet Level 2 classification according to ASTM F2100-19.

TestStandardsAcceptance Criteria for Level 2 MaskReported Device Performance
Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE, %)ASTM F2101≥ 98Average 99.54% (Pass)

In Vitro CytotoxicityISO10993-5: 2009Non-cytotoxicNon-cytotoxic (Pass)
Skin SensitizationISO10993-10: 2010Non-sensitizingNon-sensitizing (Pass)
Skin IrritationISO10993-10Non-irritatingNon-irritating (Pass)

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes for each specific performance test (e.g., the number of masks tested for BFE or PFE). For the Fluid Resistance test, it is stated that "32 out of 32 pass at 120mmHg," implying a sample size of 32 for that specific test.

The document does not specify the country of origin of the data or whether the studies were retrospective or prospective. It only mentions that the device manufacturer is in China: "TUOSHENG PROTECTIVE PRODUCTS (NINGBO) CO.,LTD... Zhejiang Province, CHINA".

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

This information is not applicable. The evaluations are based on objective, standardized laboratory tests (e.g., ASTM, ISO standards) for material performance and biocompatibility, not on expert interpretation of medical images or clinical data. There is no concept of "ground truth" established by experts in this context.

4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

This information is not applicable as the evaluation is based on objective laboratory testing against pre-defined numerical and qualitative criteria, not on subjective assessments requiring adjudication.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

No such study was performed or is relevant to this device. This document describes the testing of a medical mask, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool for human readers.

6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

This information is not applicable. The device is a physical medical mask, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

The "ground truth" in this context is defined by the objective, quantitative performance specifications outlined in the referenced international consensus standards (ASTM, EN, ISO, 16 CFR). For example, a BFE of ≥98% is the objective standard (ground truth) for a Level 2 mask in that particular test.

8. The sample size for the training set

This information is not applicable. The device is a physical medical mask. There is no "training set" as it is not a machine learning model.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

This information is not applicable for the reasons stated in point 8.

Dear Charles Mack:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device

{6}------------------------------------------------

Discussion:

Although the materials used in the ear loops of the subject and predicate masks are not the final subject masks are tested for biocompatibility and specification performance. Therefore, this difference does not raise any new questions about safety and effectiveness.

Although there is a slight difference in performance test results between the subject device, they comply with the same performance standards, for ASTM F2100 Level 2. The minor differences in the technological characteristics do not raise issues on the safety and effectiveness of the subject device.

{7}------------------------------------------------

Performance Testing

Performance testing was provided to validate and verify that the Disposable Medical Mask, non- sterile, earloop met all requirements of related international standards, including biocompatibility and product specifications. These tests' results demonstrate compliance with the requirements of the consensus standards noted below.

§ 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.
