The Protective Face Mask for Medical Use is intended to worn by the healthcare personnel during procedure to protect both the patient and the healthcare personnel from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. These face masks are intended for use in infection control practices to reduce the potential exposure to blood and body fluids. This is a single use, disposable device(s), provided non-sterile/sterile.
The Protective Face Masks for Medical Use are flat-folded masks are three layers of materials consisting of polypropylene spun-bond (outer layer and inner layer), polypropylene melt-blown (middle layers). The masks contain a conformable nose piece enclosed in a binding tape welding the top edge to conform to the contours of the face. In addition, the masks contain an ultrasonically welded, elastic ear loops not made with natural rubber latex, to secure the masks in place on the wearer. The masks are offered in white. The Protective Face Masks for Medical Use are single use, disposable device, provided non-sterile/sterile.
The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a "Protective Face Mask for Medical Use." It assesses the substantial equivalence of the proposed device to predicate devices. The study conducted is a non-clinical performance test, not a study involving human readers or AI.

§ 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.
