The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a Disposable Surgical Mask/Fluid Resistant Procedure Mask. This document describes the device's technical specifications and non-clinical performance testing against established standards to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device. It does not involve AI or algorithms, so many of the requested categories (like "Number of experts used to establish the ground truth," "Adjudication method," "MRMC study," "Standalone performance," "Training set sample size," and "Ground truth for training set") are not applicable.
Here's the summary of the acceptance criteria and study information found in the document:
1. Table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance:
| Methodology/Standard | Purpose | Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| ASTM F1862M-17 | Fluid Resistance Performance | 29 out of 32 pass at 160mmHg | Pass (95/96) |
| ASTM F2299 | Particulate Filtration Efficiency | ≥98% | Pass (96/96) Average 99.9% at 0.1µm |
| ASTM F2101-19 | Bacterial Filtration Efficiency | ≥98% | Pass (96/96) Average 99.9% |
| EN 14683:2019 Annex C | Differential Pressure | <6mmH2O/cm² | Pass (96/96) Average 3.52 mmH2O/cm² |
| 16 CFR 1610 | Flammability | Class I Non Flammable | Pass (96/96) Meet Class I |
| ISO 10993-5:2009 | Cytotoxicity | Non-cytotoxic | Non-cytotoxic |
| ISO 10993-10:2010 | Skin Irritation | Non-irritating | Non-irritating |
| ISO 10993-10:2010 | Skin Sensitization | Non-sensitizing | Non-sensitizing |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Sample size: For each performance testing (Fluid Resistance, Particulate Filtration, Bacterial Filtration, Differential Pressure, Flammability), 32 samples from each of 3 non-consecutive lots were used, totaling 96 samples per test. Biocompatibility tests (Cytotoxicity, Skin Irritation, Skin Sensitization) also indicated testing was performed, with results confirming acceptance criteria, but specific sample sizes for these individual biocompatibility tests are not explicitly stated beyond "under the conditions of the study."
- Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin of the data or whether it was retrospective or prospective. It describes non-clinical performance tests conducted by the submitter to verify the device met design specifications.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not Applicable. This document describes non-clinical performance testing of a physical medical device (surgical masks) against established industry standards for material properties and performance. It does not involve expert interpretation or subjective evaluation typically associated with establishing ground truth for diagnostic or AI devices.
4. Adjudication method for the test set:
- Not Applicable. As per point 3, this is non-clinical device performance testing against objective standards, not a clinical study requiring adjudication of findings.
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:
- Not Applicable. This is not an AI-powered device or a study involving human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not Applicable. This is not an algorithm or AI device. The testing describes the standalone performance of the physical surgical mask itself against specified metrics.
7. The type of ground truth used:
- The "ground truth" for the device's performance is based on established objective industry standards and testing methodologies (e.g., ASTM F1862M-17 for Fluid Resistance, ASTM F2299 for Particulate Filtration Efficiency, ISO 10993 for Biocompatibility). The device's performance is measured against the predefined acceptance criteria of these standards.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not Applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not Applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning 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.
