The Premier Guard USA 3 Layer Ear Loop ASTM Level 3 Surgical Face Masks are intended to be worn to protect both the patient and healthcare personnel from 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, provided non-sterile.
The Premier Guard Face Mask is a flat-pleated style mask with elastic ear loops to secure it over the users' mouth and face. The mask consists of three-layers. The inner facing layer is white and is manufactured from spunbond polypropylene (three layers of nonwoven polypropylene). The inner filter material is made of meltblown fiber. The outer facing layer is blue and is manufactured from spunbond polypropylene (three layers of nonwoven polypropylene). The mask is a single use, disposable device, provided non-sterile. The proposed device is not made from natural rubber latex.
The provided text presents a 510(k) summary for a surgical face mask, focusing on non-clinical performance and biocompatibility testing. It does not describe a study involving an AI/software device or human readers. Therefore, I cannot extract the information required for questions pertaining to AI performance, human reader improvement with AI assistance, MRMC studies, or multi-expert ground truth establishment.
However, I can provide information based on the presented non-clinical performance testing of the Premier Guard USA 3 Layer Ear Loop ASTM Level 3 Surgical Face Mask.
Here's the information that can be extracted from the provided document:

§ 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.
