This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for a medical device (Disposable Medical Surgical Masks). It is a regulatory submission to the FDA demonstrating that a new device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device. As such, it focuses on comparing the new device to the predicate device based on non-clinical performance and specifications.
Therefore, many of the typical acceptance criteria and study details relevant to AI/ML-based medical devices (like MRMC studies, expert adjudication, separate training/test sets for AI, human-in-the-loop performance, etc.) are not applicable to this document, as it describes a physical medical device (surgical masks) and its performance based on standardized material testing.
Here's an analysis based on the provided document:
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria for this device are based on meeting established industry standards for surgical masks, primarily ASTM F2100-19 for medical face mask materials, and other related standards (ISO 10993 for biocompatibility, ASTM F1862 for fluid resistance, etc.). The reported device performance is presented in comparison to these standards and a predicate device.
Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance (Summary from Section 6 and 7):
| Test Item / Performance Characteristic | Acceptance Criteria (from ASTM F2100 Level 3 Requirements or relevant standard) | Proposed Device Reported Performance | Status (Meets/Exceeds/N/A) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fluid Resistance Performance (ASTM F1862) | 160 mmHg | 160 mmHg | Meets |
| Particulate Filtration Efficiency (ASTM F2299) | ≥ 98% | 98.02 - 98.80% | Meets/Exceeds |
| Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) (ASTM F2101) | ≥ 98% | 99.6 - 99.7% | Meets/Exceeds |
| Differential Pressure (MIL-M-36945C) | < 6.0 mmH2O/cm² | 3.20 - 4.18 mmH2O/cm² | Meets/Exceeds |
| Flammability (16 CFR 1610) | Class 1 | Class 1 | Meets |
| Biocompatibility - Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5) | Not cytotoxic effect | Not cytotoxicity effect | Meets |
| Biocompatibility - Irritation (ISO 10993-10) | Not an irritant | Not an irritant | Meets |
| Biocompatibility - Sensitization (ISO 10993-10) | Not a sensitizer | Not a sensitizer | Meets |
| Dimensions (Bench Testing) | Meets design specification | Meets design specification | Meets |
Study Details (for a physical product, not an AI/ML algorithm)
It's important to reiterate that this is a submission for a physical medical device (surgical mask), not an AI/ML algorithm. Therefore, many standard AI/ML study components do not apply.
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Test Set: No explicit "test set" in the AI/ML sense is mentioned. Instead, samples of the manufactured masks were subjected to various standardized non-clinical tests. The document does not specify the number of masks or samples tested for each criterion (e.g., how many masks were tested for BFE, how many for fluid resistance).
- Data Provenance: The tests were conducted by the manufacturer/sponsor (Tianjin Teda Jinshan Easy Packing Manufacture Co., Ltd., China) as part of their verification process for the 510(k) submission. This would be considered "prospective" in the sense that the tests were performed specifically for this submission, on samples of the device.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not Applicable. Ground truth in the context of a physical device like a surgical mask is established by validated laboratory testing methods and compliance with published standards (e.g., ASTM, ISO). There are no human "experts" establishing a subjective "ground truth" for each mask. The "ground truth" is the quantitative result from the standardized test.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- None. Adjudication methods are relevant for subjective interpretations, typically in image analysis or clinical assessments. For standardized physical material testing, the results are quantitative and objective measurements from the validated test methods.
-
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 a physical device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not Applicable. This is a physical device, not an AI algorithm. Its performance is inherent to its materials and construction.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- Objective Laboratory Test Results against Established Standards: The "ground truth" for the performance of the Disposable Medical Surgical Masks is the objective measurement obtained through specific, validated laboratory test methods (e.g., ASTM F2101 for BFE, ASTM F1862 for fluid resistance) and comparison against the specified acceptance criteria within those standards (e.g., ASTM F2100 Level 3 requirements).
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not Applicable. This is a manufactured physical device, not an AI/ML model that requires a training set. The manufacturing process is analogous to a "training" phase where the design and materials are refined to meet specifications.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not Applicable. As above, no training set for an AI algorithm. The manufacturing process of a physical device involves quality control and adherence to specifications to ensure the final product meets its intended performance, which is then verified through non-clinical testing.

§ 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.
