Intended Use

The medical surgical mask is intended to be worn to protect both the patient and healthcare personnel from transfer of microorganisms, body fluids and particulate material. It 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

The medical surgical 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.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the performance criteria and testing for a Medical Surgical Mask to demonstrate its substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

Here's the breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study details:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

ItemAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) (%)≥98%32/32 Passed at ≥98%
Differential pressure (Delta-P)<6.0 mmH₂O/cm²32/32 Passed <6 mmH₂O/cm² / Pass

Biocompatibility: Skin Sensitization TestsPass (Implied by "were conducted to demonstrate that the subject device is biocompatable and safe")Biocompatible and safe
Biocompatibility: Skin Irritation TestsPass (Implied by "were conducted to demonstrate that the subject device is biocompatible and safe")Biocompatible and safe

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

  • Sample Size: For performance tests, the number of samples varied by test:
    • Bacterial filtration efficiency: 32 samples
    • Differential pressure: 32 samples
    • Sub-micron particulate filtration efficiency: 32 samples
    • Resistance to penetration by synthetic blood: 32 samples
    • Flame spread: 32 samples
  • Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin of the data or whether it was retrospective or prospective. It only refers to "Non-Clinical Test Conclusion."

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of those Experts:

  • Not Applicable: For this type of medical device (surgical mask), the "ground truth" is established through standardized laboratory testing against objective criteria, not through expert consensus or interpretation of medical images. The tests listed are objective physical and microbiological measurements.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

  • Not Applicable: As the "ground truth" is established by standardized test methods with objective pass/fail criteria, an adjudication method in the sense of multiple expert reviews is not relevant. The results are based on the direct output of the specified ASTM and EN standards.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, If So, What Was the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs Without AI Assistance:

  • Not Applicable: This device is a physical surgical mask and does not involve AI or human "readers" interpreting data. Therefore, an MRMC study is not relevant.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done:

  • Not Applicable: This device is a physical surgical mask and does not involve an algorithm or AI.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

  • The ground truth for the performance criteria is based on standardized laboratory test methods (e.g., ASTM F2101-19, EN 14683:2019, ASTM F2299-03, ASTM F1862M-17, 16 CFR Part 1610, ISO 10993-1/5/10). These methods define objective parameters and thresholds for acceptable performance.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

  • Not Applicable: This device is a physical product, not an AI or machine learning model, so there is no "training set."

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

  • Not Applicable: As there is no training set for a physical device, this question is not applicable.

Dear Boyle Wang:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

§ 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.
