Intended Use

The surgical masks are intended to be worn to protect both the patient and healthcare personnel from transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. These face masks are intended for use in infection control practices to reduce the potential exposure to blood and body fluids. This is a single-use, disposable device, and provided as sterile.

Level 3 Surgical mask model (Ear-loop): XT10A1
Level 3 Surgical mask model (Tie-on): XT10B1

Device Description

The surgical mask consists of a mask body, a nose piece, and ear loops or ties. The mask body is divided into three layers, the inner and outer layers are made of polypropylene materials; the middle layer is composed of melt-blown cloth (polypropylene); the nose piece is made of polyethylene coated steel wire, the ear loops are made of polyester silk & polyurethane filament, and the ties are made of polypropylene.

The size specification of the surgical mask:

  • Mask body for ear-loop type: 17.5cm×9.5cm & 14.5cm×9.5cm;
  • Mask body for Tie-on type: 17.5cm×9.5cm
AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for a surgical mask (K211454) and focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through non-clinical testing. It does not describe a study involving human readers or AI assistance. Therefore, information related to AI performance, human reader improvement with AI, or MRMC studies is not available in this document.

Here's the breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them, based solely on the provided text:

ISO 10993-5CytotoxicityNon-cytotoxicUnder the conditions of the study, the subject device was non-cytotoxic
ISO 10993-10SensitizationNon-sensitizingUnder the conditions of the study, the subject device was non-sensitizing
ISO 10993-10IrritationNon-irritatingUnder the conditions of the study, the subject device was non-irritating

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

The document mentions testing "Lot 1#", "Lot 2#", and "Lot 3#" for Fluid Resistance, Bacterial Filtration Efficiency, Differential Pressure, Particulate Filtration Efficiency, and Flammability. For Fluid Resistance, it specifies "32 Out of 32 pass", indicating a sample size of 32 for that particular test per lot. The exact sample sizes for other performance tests are implied by the "Lot #" reporting but not explicitly stated numerically as a single count per test.

The data provenance is from non-clinical performance testing conducted on the proposed device's materials and finished products, performed by Jiangsu Xingtong Biotechnology Group Co., Ltd. through various standard test methodologies (e.g., ASTM, EN, ISO). This is prospective testing of the manufactured device. There is no indication of country of origin for the specific data collection, but the manufacturer is based in China.

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

Not applicable. This is a non-clinical study involving standardized physical, chemical, and biological tests, not subjective expert evaluation of medical images or conditions. The "ground truth" is established by the predefined acceptance criteria of the testing standards.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. As this is non-clinical testing against standardized criteria, there is no need for expert adjudication. The tests have objective outcomes against set thresholds.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The submission is for a surgical mask and relies on non-clinical performance and biocompatibility testing for substantial equivalence, not AI or human-in-the-loop performance.

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

No, a standalone AI algorithm performance study was not done. This device is a physical surgical mask, not an AI-powered diagnostic or therapeutic device.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for evaluating the surgical mask's performance is based on pre-defined acceptance criteria set by international and national standards for medical device performance and biocompatibility. These include:

  • Physical performance standards: ASTM F1862-17 (Fluid Resistance), ASTM F2101-19 (Bacterial Filtration Efficiency), EN 14683:2019 (Differential Pressure), ASTM F2299-2007 (Particulate Filtration Efficiency), 16 CFR Part 1610 (Flammability).
  • Biocompatibility standards: ISO 10993-5 (Cytotoxicity), ISO 10993-10 (Sensitization, Irritation).
  • Sterilization validation standards: ISO 11135:2014, ISO 11737-1:2018, ISO 10993-7:2008.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI/machine learning model. Therefore, no training set for an algorithm was used.

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

Not applicable, as there is no training set for an AI algorithm.

§ 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.
