Intended Use

Medical surgical mask is intended for use by healthcare workers during procedures to protect both patients and healthcare workers against transfer of microorganisms, bodily fluids, and particulate matters. This device is single use and provided non-sterile.

Device Description

The Medical surgical mask is flat pleated style mask, utilizing ear Loops way for wearing, and they all have nose piece design for fitting the Medical surgical mask around the nose. The Medical surgical mask is manufactured with three layers, the inner and outer layers are made of spun bond polypropylene, only the outer layers' color is blue (colorant: Pigment Blue K6911D /CAS number: 12239-87-1), and the middle layer is made of melt blown polypropylene. Ear loops, which is held to cover the users' mouth and nose by two polyester and spandex elastic bands ultrasonic welded to the Medical surgical mask. The elastic ear loops are not made with natural rubber latex. The nose piece contained in the Medical surgical mask is in the middle layer of Medical surgical mask to allow the user to fit the Medical surgical mask around their noses, which is made of metallic iron wire coated with polypropylene resin. The dimensions of each Medical surgical mask are length 175±5 mm and width 95±2 mm, and the inner and outer layers' density are 25 gsm, the middle layer is 35 gsm. The dimensions of nosepiece is length 100±5 mm and width 3±0.5 mm, and the ear loop is length 175±10 mm and width 3.5±0.5 mm. The Medical surgical mask is sold non-sterile and is intended to be single use, disposable device.

AI/ML Overview

The document provided describes the acceptance criteria and performance of a Medical Surgical Mask (Model: KF-B P05) by Guangdong KINGFA Sci.&Tech.Co.,Ltd. Rather than an AI device being proven to meet acceptance criteria, this is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (a mask) demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through non-clinical testing.

Here's the breakdown of the information requested, based on the provided document:


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The device is evaluated against ASTM F2100:2019 Level 1 performance requirements.

Test Item (Performance Level 1)Acceptance Criteria (Pass Criteria)Reported Device Performance (Test Results)
Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE)≥ 95%99.2%
Differential Pressure (Delta-P)<5.0 mm H2O/cm²<5.0 mm H2O/cm²
Sub-micron Particulate Filtration Efficiency (PFE) at 0.1 µm of Polystyrene Latex Spheres≥ 95%99.46%
Resistance to penetration by synthetic blood, minimum pressure in mm Hg for pass resultFluid resistant claimed at 80 mm HgFluid Resistant claimed at 80 mm Hg
Flame spreadClass 1Class 1

Biocompatibility Tests: The device also underwent biocompatibility testing according to ISO 10993-1:2009 for skin contact, with the following results:

  • Cytotoxicity: Non-cytotoxic
  • Irritation: Non-irritating
  • Sensitization: Non-sensitizing

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes used for each non-clinical performance test (e.g., number of masks tested for BFE, PFE, etc.). It only provides the test methods and results.

The testing was performed according to international standards (ASTM and EN for performance, ISO for biocompatibility). The manufacturer is Guangdong KINGFA SCI.&TECH.Co.,Ltd. from China, so it is assumed the tests were conducted in facilities that are likely in China or by labs accredited to these standards. The nature of these tests is prospective as they are conducted specifically for the purpose of demonstrating device safety and effectiveness for regulatory submission.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

This question is not applicable to this type of device. The "ground truth" for a medical surgical mask is established by validated scientific test methods (e.g., ASTM F2101 for BFE, ASTM F2299 for PFE) and regulatory standards (e.g., ASTM F2100 for medical face mask performance, ISO 10993 for biocompatibility). These methods have predefined criteria for success or failure, not expert consensus as would be used for image interpretation in AI.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

This question is not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are typically used in clinical studies involving interpretation of medical images or patient outcomes, often with human readers. For this device, objective laboratory tests with defined protocols and metrics determine the performance.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

This question is not applicable. This submission is for a physical medical device (a surgical mask), not an AI algorithm. Therefore, no MRMC study or assessment of AI assistance was performed or is relevant.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

This question is not applicable. This is not an AI device.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

The "ground truth" for the device's performance is established by the standardized test methods and their defined pass/fail criteria. For example:

  • Bacterial Filtration Efficiency: Measured quantitatively as a percentage (≥95% is the pass criterion).
  • Differential Pressure: Measured quantitatively in mm H2O/cm² (<5.0 mm H2O/cm² is the pass criterion).
  • Biocompatibility: Determined by laboratory assessments (e.g., in vitro cell cultures for cytotoxicity, animal models or human patch tests for irritation/sensitization) against predefined biological response levels.

8. The sample size for the training set

This question is not applicable. This is not an AI device, so there is no "training set."

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

This question is not applicable. No training set exists for this type of 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.
