Intended Use
The surgical mask is intended for single use by operating room personnel and other general healthcare workers to protect both patients and healthcare workers against transfer of microorganisms, blood and body fluids, and particulate materials.
Device Description
The proposed device, Surgical Mask, is a single use, three-layer, flat-pleated mask. The inner and outer layers of the mask are made of PP Spunbonded Non-woven Fabric, and the middle layer is made of Melt-blown Nonwoven Fabric. The proposed devices are available in three types, ear-loop, Tie-on and Headband. The ear straps of headband type and ear loop type are made of Spandex and Polyester, and the ear strap of tie-on type is made of PP Spunbonded Non-woven Fabric. The ear strap is held in place over the users' mouth and nose. The nose clip is made of Galvanized Iron Wire. Users can adjust the nose clip according to the shape of the bridge of the nose, and fix the mask on the bridge of the nose to prevent the mask from falling off. The ear loops, tie-on and headband masks are available in different sizes to provide more options for user, as shown in the following table. The proposed devices were available with and without edging and they can be provided in sterile and non-sterile two versions. The proposed devices are blue.
More Information

Not Found

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 is a surgical mask intended to protect against the transfer of microorganisms and particulate materials, not to treat or diagnose a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The device description and intended use clearly state that this is a surgical mask designed to protect against the transfer of microorganisms, blood, and body fluids. There is no indication that it is used to diagnose any condition.

No

The device description clearly details physical components made of various materials (PP Spunbonded Non-woven Fabric, Melt-blown Nonwoven Fabric, Spandex, Polyester, Galvanized Iron Wire) and describes its function as a physical barrier, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the surgical mask is for protecting against the transfer of microorganisms, blood, body fluids, and particulate materials. This is a physical barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical construction and materials of the mask. There is no mention of reagents, test strips, or any components used to analyze biological samples.
  • Performance Studies and Key Metrics: The performance studies focus on the physical properties of the mask, such as filtration efficiency, fluid resistance, and flammability. These are relevant to its function as a barrier, not to diagnostic accuracy.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. A surgical mask does not perform any of these functions.

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.

Dear Diana Hong:

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
