The Surgical Masks are intended to be worn to protect both the patient and healthcare personnel from transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. These masks are intended for use in infection control practices to reduce potential exposure to blood and body fluids. This is a single use, disposable device, provided non-sterile.
The surgical masks are three-layer, flat-pleated style mask with ear loops and nose clip design for fitting the mask around the nose and mouth. The proposed device is manufactured with three layers, the inner and outer layers are made of spun-bond polypropylene, and the middle layer (Filter layer) is made of meltblown polypropylene. The ear loops are made of nylon and spandex and the nose clip is made of galvanized iron wire. The masks not made with natural rubber latex materials, and all materials are being used in currently marketed devices. The masks will be provided in blue and the model CR02-2 will be labeled to Level 2, the CRO2 will be labeled to Level 3. The masks are single-use, disposable devices, provided non-sterile.
The provided text describes the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria for a Surgical Mask (Model: CR02-2, CR02).
Here's the breakdown of the requested information:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The device performance is reported for two models, CR02-2 (Level 2) and CR02 (Level 3), conforming to ASTM F2100 standards.
| Test Item | Acceptance Criteria (Level 2) | Reported Device Performance (CR02-2) | Acceptance Criteria (Level 3) | Reported Device Performance (CR02) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) | ≥ 98% | Pass | ≥ 98% | Pass |
| Differential Pressure (Delta-P) |
§ 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.
