Intended Use
The SpectraShield 9500 Surgical N95 Respirator is a single use, disposable, surgical N95 respirator, tested for continuous use up to 8 hours, embedded with a zeolite carrier containing a silver-copper agent on the outer layer and is not an antimicrobial drug. SpectraShield 9500 kills 99.99% of test bacteria after one hour of contact with the surface of the respirator. In vitro (laboratory) tests have demonstrated 99.99% kill on the surface of the outer layer of the respirator when tested in vitro against single isolates of the following test bacteria: Streptococcus pyogenes, MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus), and Haemophilus influenzae, under tested contact conditions. No clinical studies have been conducted comparing the ability of an untreated surgical N95 respirator and the SpectraShield model 9500 surgical N95 respirator to protect the wearer from infection, and the antibacterial treatment cannot effect pathogens that are inhaled around the edges of the respirator. The SpectraShield 9500 Surgical N95 respirator is a single use device, intended for occupational use to protect against microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material.
Device Description
The SpectraShield model 9500 Surgical Mask is a molded shape surgical mask composed of 4 layers of material, molded to form the mask. A 2-ply meitblown polypropylene middle layer is sandwiched by inner and outer layers of 100% polyester nonwoven fabric. The inner and outside layers of polyester nonwoven fabric include fibers that have been embedded with an antibacterial agent to provide antibacterial performance. The mask has 2 latex-free non-allergenic elastic straps and an aluminum nose strip.

No
The summary describes a physical device (a respirator) with an antibacterial coating. There is no mention of software, algorithms, data processing, or any other components typically associated with AI/ML. The performance studies focus on material properties and antibacterial efficacy, not algorithmic performance.

No.
The device is a surgical N95 respirator used for protection against microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material, not for treating a disease or condition. While it has an antibacterial agent on its surface, the "Intended Use" explicitly states it "is not an antimicrobial drug" and no clinical studies have shown it protects wearers from infection, indicating it's not a therapeutic device.

No

Explanation: The SpectraShield 9500 Surgical N95 Respirator is designed to protect from microorganisms and particulate matter, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, multi-layered surgical mask with embedded materials and physical components like straps and a nose strip. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

Based on the provided text, the SpectraShield 9500 Surgical N95 Respirator is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as a "single use, disposable, surgical N95 respirator, intended for occupational use to protect against microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material." This describes a personal protective equipment (PPE) device, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical construction of a mask with antibacterial properties on the outer layer. This aligns with a protective barrier device.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical properties of the mask (filtration, fluid resistance, flammability) and the antibacterial efficacy on the surface of the mask against specific bacteria in vitro. These are tests of the device's protective capabilities and surface properties, not diagnostic tests performed on human samples.
  • Key Metrics: The key metrics listed are related to the performance of the mask as a barrier and its biocompatibility, not diagnostic accuracy metrics like sensitivity, specificity, PPV, or NPV which are typical for IVDs.
  • No mention of analyzing human specimens: There is no indication that this device is used to collect, prepare, or analyze specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) for diagnostic purposes.

In summary, the SpectraShield 9500 Surgical N95 Respirator is a protective device designed to filter airborne particles and provide an antibacterial surface on its exterior. It does not perform diagnostic tests on human samples, which is the defining characteristic of an IVD.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The predicate device (K090414) was tested for bio-efficacy after repeated exposures to perspiration over a 12 hour period (see K090414 Repeat Challenge Protocol and Testing). The repeat challenge testing required the predicate device be repeatedly exposed to perspiration over a 12 hour period. Following the 12 hour exposure the predicate device was tested and demonstrated 99.99% kill on the surface of the outer layer of the respirator when tested in vitro against Streptococcus pyogenes, MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus), and Haemophilus influenzae under tested contact conditions. The intention of the repeated challenge and sustained exposure was to demonstrate that the device would still function as intended (99.99% kill) after wearing the device for 12 hours.

The subject device (SpectraShield model 9500 Surgical mask with the revised IFU Conclusion: referencing "tested for continuous use up to 8 hours"), and the predicate device (K090414) are the same device. The intention of this 510k submittal is to change the IFU to include the statement "tested for continuous use up to 8 hours".

The predicate device (K090414) was tested for bio-efficacy after repeated exposures to perspiration over a 12 hour period (see K090414 Repeat Challenge Protocol and Testing). The repeat challenge testing required the predicate device be repeatedly exposed to perspiration over a 12 hour period. Following the 12 hour exposure the predicate device was tested and demonstrated 99.99% kill on the surface of the outer layer of the respirator when tested in vitro against Streptococcus pyogenes, MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus), and Haemophilus influenzae under tested contact conditions. The intention of the repeated challenge and sustained exposure was to demonstrate that the device would still function as intended (99.99% kill) after wearing the device for 12 hours.

The IFU for the predicate device references "single use, disposable device". The proposed change to the IFU would read "single use, disposable device, tested for continuous use up to 8 hours."

It is our conclusion that the proposed change to the IFU does not change the intended use of the device, and we believe the change to the IFU further clarifies the intended use of the device. Additionally, we note the proposed change to the IFU demonstrate the device is as safe and as effective as the predicate device and performs equally as well.
