Intended Use
The surgical face masks (Ear loops) 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.
Device Description
The Surgical Face Mask are Non-sterile, single use, 3 layers, flat-pleated style with mask belt and nose clip. The outer layer and inner facing layer of face mask consist of spunbond polypropylene, and the middle layer consists of melt blown polypropylene filter. Each mask contains mask belt to secure the mask over the user's face and mouth with nose clip to firmly fit over the nose. This device is not made from any natural rubber latex.

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

No
The device is described as a surgical face mask intended to protect from microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material, not to treat or cure a disease or condition.

No
The device is a surgical face mask intended to protect against the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (spunbond polypropylene, melt blown polypropylene filter, mask belt, nose clip) and the performance studies focus on physical properties and filtration efficiency, not software functionality.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the masks are for protecting both the patient and healthcare personnel from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical construction of the mask (layers, materials, ear loops, nose clip). There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any components used to analyze biological samples.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical and barrier properties of the mask (filtration efficiency, fluid resistance, breathability, flammability, biocompatibility). These are relevant to a protective device, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This surgical face mask does not perform such a function.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The following nonclinical testing was performed to demonstrate the subject device conform to the standard or test methodology:

  • Level ASTM F2100-19: Purpose To define the performances of the medical face mask. Acceptance Criteria: Level 1. Results: Level 1.
  • Resistance to penetration by systhetic blood ASTM F1862: Purpose To evaluate the resistance of medical face masks to penetration by the impact of a small volume of high-velocity stream of synthetic blood. Medical face mask pass/fail determinations are based on visual detection of synthetic blood penetration. Acceptance Criteria: Minimum 80mmHg. Results: Pass at 80mmHg.
  • Particulate Filtration Efficiency ASTM F2299: Purpose To measure the initial particle filtratioon efficiency of materials used in medical face mask using monodispersed polystyrene latex sphere aerosols. Acceptance Criteria: >=95%. Results: Pass at 98.33%.
  • BFE ASTM F2101: Purpose To measure the bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) of medical face mask materials, employing a ratio of the upstream bacterial challenge to downstream residual concentration to determine filtration efficiency of medical face mask materials. Acceptance Criteria: >=95%. Results: Pass at 99.99%.
  • Differential Pressure EN 14683:2019+AC:2019 AnnexC: Purpose To determine the breathability of medical face mask by measuring the differential air pressure with the airflow direction from the inside of the mask to the outside of the mask. Acceptance Criteria:

§ 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.
