Intended Use
The 3M™ High Fluid-Resistant Surgical Mask and 3M™ High Fluid-Resistant Procedure 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 potential exposure to blood and body fluids. The face mask is single use, disposable device, provided non-sterile.
Device Description
The 3M™ High Fluid-Resistant Surgical Mask and 3M™ High Fluid-Resistant Procedure Mask are composed of four-layers and are flat-pleated. The mask materials consist of an outer cover web (polypropylene spunbond, green), insertion layer (polypropylene, spunbond, white), filter web (polypropylene melt-blown, white) and inner cover web (polypropylene thermal-bonded, white). Each mask contains tie strings or ear loops to secure the users' mouth and face and includes a malleable nosepiece to provide a firm fit over the nose. The mask may also contain a face shield (FS) made from a polyethylene terephthalate film, which includes an antireflection strip. The face shield is adhered to the top edge of the mask to cover the upper part of the face. The mask is a single use, disposable device, provided non-sterile.

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 is a surgical mask intended for protection from microorganisms and fluids, not for treating a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The device is a surgical mask intended for protection against microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material, not for diagnosing conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly outlines the physical components of a surgical mask (layers of material, tie strings/ear loops, nosepiece, optional face shield) and the performance studies focus on physical properties like filtration efficiency, fluid resistance, and flammability, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to protect both the patient and healthcare personnel from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material by being worn on the face. This is a physical barrier function.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical mask made of various layers of material designed to filter air and block fluids.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) or to provide information about a patient's health status or condition. IVDs are used to diagnose diseases or other conditions, including a determination of the state of health, in order to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease or its sequelae.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical properties of the mask (filtration efficiency, fluid resistance, breathability, flammability, biocompatibility) rather than diagnostic accuracy or analytical performance.

This device is a medical device, specifically a surgical or procedure mask, but it does not fit the definition of 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 Angie Draper:

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
