Intended Use
The Disposable Surgical Mask, FILTECH M201 is intended to be worn to protect both the patient and health care personnel from transfer of microorganisms, body fluids and particulate material. The Disposable Surgical Mask is 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.
Device Description
FILTECH M201 Disposable Surgical Mask is a single use, that-pleated mask with ear loops and a nose piece. The Disposable Surgical Mask is manufactured with three layers, of which the inner and outer layers are made of spun-bond polypropylene, and the middle layer is made of melt blown polypropylene filter. The ear loops are held in place over the users' mouth and nose by two elastic ear loops welded to the face mask. The elastic ear loops are not made with latex materials, but are made of spandex. The nose piece in the layers of face mask allows the user to fit the face mask around their nose, which is made of malleable polyethylene wire. The surgical mask will be provided in blue of outside and white of inside. FILTECH M201 Disposable Surgical Mask is provided non-sterile and for single use.
More Information

No reference devices were used in this submission.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and filtration capabilities of a surgical mask, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device description and intended use clearly state that the device is a Disposable Surgical Mask used for protection from microorganisms and fluids, intended for infection control practices, not for therapeutic purposes like treating or diagnosing a medical condition.

No

A diagnostic device is used to diagnose a condition. This device is a surgical mask, intended to protect from microorganisms and body fluids, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, multi-layered mask made of polypropylene with ear loops and a nose piece. It is a tangible hardware product, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the mask is for protecting against the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material by being worn on the face. This is a physical barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical construction of the mask (layers, ear loops, nose piece). There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any components used to analyze biological samples.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical properties of the mask (filtration efficiency, fluid resistance, breathability, flammability) and biocompatibility. These are relevant to a barrier device, not a diagnostic test.
  • Key Metrics: The key metrics are related to the mask's ability to filter and resist fluids, which are physical performance characteristics. Diagnostic metrics like sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV are not applicable.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. This surgical mask does not perform any such function.

§ 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.
