Intended Use
The 039 Medical Surgical Face Mask is 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(s), provided non-sterile.
Device Story
039 Medical Surgical Face Mask; single-use, non-sterile, disposable, four-layer folded mask. Features elastic spandex ear loops or tie-on straps and malleable silicone nose piece for facial fit. Provides physical barrier against fluids and particulates. Used in clinical settings by healthcare personnel and patients for infection control. Operates as passive barrier; no active components. Healthcare providers wear mask to reduce exposure to blood/body fluids; benefits patient and personnel by minimizing cross-contamination risk.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data. Performance evaluated per ASTM F2100-2019. Testing included Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (99.9%), Differential Pressure (<3.8 mm H2O/cm2), Sub-micron Particulate Filtration Efficiency (>99%), Synthetic Blood Penetration Resistance (120 mmHg), and Flammability (Class 1). Biocompatibility testing (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation) confirmed safety for surface contact with intact skin.
Technological Characteristics
Four-layer folded mask; non-woven polypropylene cover fabric; melt-blown polypropylene filter; spandex ear loops; silicone nose piece. ASTM F2100-2019 Level 2 compliant. Non-sterile. No electronic components or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by patients and healthcare personnel as a physical barrier to protect against the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material in infection control practices.
Regulatory Classification
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.
Special Controls
*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.

Dear Paul Dryden:
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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal
{1}------------------------------------------------
statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

#### Indications for Use -
The indications for use are identical for the proposed device when compared to the predicate -
Discussion - Each device is indicated to cover a user's nose and mouth and provides a physical barrier to fluids and particulate materials.
#### Technology and construction -
The design, fabrication, shape, size, etc. are equivalent to the predicate - Jiangsu Medplus Non-woven Manufacturer Co., Ltd. - K202605.

However, the difference in mask style of flat pleated vs. folded should not impact the substantial equivalence of the subject device to the predicate. Our testing demonstrated that the subject device has similar performance to the predicate.
### Environment of Use -
The environments of use are identical to predicate - Jiangsu Medplus Non-woven Manufacturer Co., Ltd. - K202605.
Discussion - The environments of use are the same.
## Patient Population -
The patient population of the proposed device and predicate - Jiangsu Medplus Nonwoven Manufacturer Co., Ltd. - K202605.
