Middle player is made of 100% meltblown polypropylene filter media. Ear-loops are made of soft elastic loops. The nose piece for all WELLMIEN's face masks is malleable aluminum wire. All of the materials used in the construction of the WELLMIEN's surgical masks are being used in currently marketed devices.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and filtration capabilities of a surgical mask, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device's intended use is for protection against transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate aerosols, rather than for treating or preventing a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: This device is a surgical mask intended for protection and covering, not for diagnosing conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (pleated 3-ply mask, spun-bond polypropylene, meltblown polypropylene, elastic ear-loops, aluminum nose piece) and performance metrics related to filtration and fluid resistance, indicating a physical medical device, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used outside the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The Wellmien Surgical Masks are described as a physical barrier to protect the nose and mouth from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate aerosols. They are used on the body as a protective covering.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: The device does not perform any tests on biological samples to diagnose or detect anything. Its function is purely protective.
  • Performance Metrics: The performance metrics listed (Particle Filtration Efficiency, Bacteria Filtration Efficiency, etc.) relate to the mask's ability to filter and resist fluids, not to any diagnostic capability.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Wellmien Surgical Mask is a medical device, but it is not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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.

Dear Mr. Shen:

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. 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.
