The Disposable medical face mask is intended to be worn to protect both the patient and healthcare personnel from transfer of microorganisms, body fluids and particulate material. The face 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.
The disposable medical face mask is single use, three-layer, flat-pleated style with ear loops and nose piece. The mask is manufactured with three layers, the inner and outer layers are made of nonwoven fabrics, and the middle layer is made of melt blown fabrics. The ear loops are held in place over the users' mouth and nose by two elastic ear loops welded to the facemask. The elastic ear loops are not made with natural rubber latex. The nose piece in the layers of facemask is to allow the user to fit the facemask around their nose, which is made of galvanized iron wire. The disposable medical face mask will be provided in blue. The masks are sold non-sterile and are intended to be single use, disposable devices.
The provided document describes the acceptance criteria and the study conducted for a Disposable Medical Face Mask (K202745), not an AI-powered medical device. Therefore, many of the requested fields related to AI/MRMC studies, number of experts, and ground truth establishment are not applicable.
However, I can extract the information relevant to the performance testing of the medical face mask as described in the document.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study results for the Disposable Medical Face Mask:

|---|---|---|---|
| Bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) (%) | To evaluate Bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) (%) | ≥98 | Pass |
| Differential pressure (mmH2O/cm²) | To evaluate Differential pressure (mmH2O/cm²) |
§ 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.
