Study Details

The provided document describes a 510(k) Premarket Notification for a surgical face mask (K022256). This type of submission in the US regulatory framework for medical devices does not involve clinical trials or studies like those typically conducted for AI/software devices. Instead, it focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device already on the market.

Therefore, many of the requested details, such as sample size, data provenance, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, and standalone performance, are not applicable to this type of device and submission.

Here's what can be inferred or explicitly stated based on the provided text:

  • Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. The "test set" here refers to physical samples of the face mask undergoing standardized laboratory tests. The data provenance is from tests conducted on samples of the manufactured device.
  • Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth for these physical performance tests is established by the standardized test methods themselves and measured by laboratory equipment, not by human experts.
  • Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable. Results are quantitative or visually assessed according to the standard.
  • If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done: No, not applicable. This is not a diagnostic device involving human interpretation of cases.
  • If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done: No, not applicable. This is a physical device, not an algorithm.
  • The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): The "ground truth" for this device's performance is defined by the objective measurements and criteria within the specified ASTM and MIL standards. For example, "no visual detection of penetration" is a direct observational outcome of the ASTM F-1862-00a fluid resistance test.
  • The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. There is no concept of a "training set" for physical device testing in this context.
  • How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

Summary of the "study" for this device:

The "study" involved performing a series of standardized laboratory tests on the surgical face mask (K022256) and comparing its performance characteristics to both pre-defined acceptance criteria (where available) and the performance of a legally marketed predicate device (K970835). The goal was to demonstrate that the new device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of safety and effectiveness, based on its physical performance.

Dear Ms. Tucker:

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. 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.

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

§ 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.
