Intended Use
The Cardinal Health™ Level 3 surgical masks with Anti-Fog Foam Strip are intended to be worn by operating room personnel and other general healthcare workers to protect both patients and healthcare workers against transfer of microorganisms, blood and body fluids, and airborne particulates. The Cardinal Health™ Level 3 surgical masks are single use, disposable devices provided non-sterile.
Device Description
The Cardinal Health™ Level 3 Surgical Mask with Anti-Fog Foam Strip is a four-layer mask constructed of 1 layer of nonwoven polyester/polyethylene blend (inner facing), 1 layer of nonwoven polyolefin melt blown (filter media), 1 layer of nonwoven polyester/polyethylene blend (middle layer), and 1 layer polyolefin spunbond material (outer facing). The four layers of the mask body are collated and sonically welded around the edges to enclose the filter media. The mask is provided with nonwoven polyolefin ties attached by ultrasonic welding. A malleable nosepiece is placed within the binding for comfort and individualized fit around the wearer's nose. The Anti-Fog Foam Strip is intended to minimize fogging.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device is a surgical mask and the description focuses on its physical construction and filtration performance, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
A surgical mask is a protective barrier device, not intended to directly treat or cure a disease or condition, which is the definition of a therapeutic device. Its purpose is to prevent the transfer of microorganisms and fluids.

No.

Explanation: The device is a surgical mask intended for protection against the transfer of microorganisms, blood, and body fluids. Its function is to create a barrier, not to diagnose any medical condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, multi-layered surgical mask with a foam strip, indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Intended Use: The intended use of the Cardinal Health™ Level 3 surgical mask is to protect both patients and healthcare workers from the transfer of microorganisms, blood, body fluids, and airborne particulates. This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic function.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical construction of the mask, which is designed for filtration and barrier protection. There are no components or mechanisms described that would be used for analyzing biological specimens.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the mask's ability to filter particles and resist fluid penetration, which are relevant to its barrier function, not diagnostic capabilities.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Cardinal Health™ Level 3 surgical mask is a personal protective equipment (PPE) device, 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 Dominic Tunzi:

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 statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's

1

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 (OS) 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.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).
