Intended Use

The Surgical Face Mask is intended to be worn to protect both the patient and healthcare persomel from transfer of microorganisms, body fluids and particulate material. They are in infection control practices to reduce the potential exposure to blood and body fluids. This a single use, disposable device(s), provided non-sterile.

Device Description

The proposed device(s) are blue color, and flat pleated type mask, utilizing ear loops way for wearing, and they all have nose clips design for fitting the face mask around the nose. The proposed device(s) are manufactured with three layers, the inner and outer layers are made of spunbond polypropylene, and the middle layer is made of melt blown polypropylene filter. The model of proposed device, ear loops, is held in place over the users' mouth and nose by two elastic ear loops welded to the face mask. The elastic ear loops are made of Spandex and polyester fiber. The nose piece contained in the proposed device(s) is in the layers of face mask to allow the user to fit the face mask around their nose, which is made of polypropylene (PP) and iron wire. The proposed device(s) are sold non-sterile and are intended to be single use, disposable device.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a Medical Face Mask, indicating it's a submission for clearance rather than a detailed study report. Therefore, information related to AI or clinical studies (such as MRMC, direct human-in-the-loop improvements, independent algorithm performance, expert ground truth establishment for AI, or training set details) will not be present.

The acceptance criteria and device performance are based on non-clinical tests required for establishing substantial equivalence for medical face masks.

Here's a summary of the requested information based on the provided text:

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document indicates testing was performed on three different lots of the device. For specific tests like Fluid Resistance, the sample size per lot was 32 units. For other tests, such as filtration efficiencies, differential pressure, and flammability, while not explicitly stated per test, the results are reported for each of the three lots, implying samples were drawn from each lot as per the respective standard's requirements.

The data provenance is from HuBei Kangning Protective Products Co., Ltd., China, as per the applicant information. These are non-clinical (laboratory) tests, not patient-derived data, and thus are inherently "retrospective" in the sense that they were conducted on already manufactured product lots.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

This section is not applicable as the document describes non-clinical performance and biocompatibility testing for a physical device (surgical face mask), not a diagnostic or AI-driven device requiring expert-established ground truth. The "ground truth" for these tests is defined by the objective measurement procedures detailed in the referenced ASTM, EN, and ISO standards.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. This pertains to expert review of data, which is not relevant for the objective laboratory tests conducted for a medical face mask.

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

Not applicable. This document is for the clearance of a physical medical device (surgical face mask) and does not involve AI software or human readers.

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

Not applicable. This document is for the clearance of a physical medical device (surgical face mask) and does not involve AI software or algorithms.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for the performance and biocompatibility tests is based on the objective measurements and pass/fail criteria defined by internationally recognized standards (e.g., ASTM F1862, ASTM F2299, ASTM F2101, EN 14683, 16 CFR 1610, ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10). These standards specify the methodology and acceptable limits for each characteristic.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/machine learning device. The tests are laboratory validations of a physical product against established safety and performance standards.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established

Not applicable. As there is no training set or AI component, this information is not relevant to the content of the provided document.

Dear Ivy Wang:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.

§ 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.
