Intended Use
Surgical face 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 Surgical face mask is single use, three-layer, flat-pleated style with ear straps 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 straps are held in place over the users' mouth and nose by two elastic ear straps welded to the facemask. The elastic ear straps are not made with natural rubber latex. The nose piece on the layers of facemask is to allow the user to fit the facemask around their nose, which is made of HDPE (high density polyethylene). The Surgical face mask will be provided in blue. The masks are sold non-sterile and are intended to be single use, disposable devices.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and filtration capabilities of a standard surgical face mask. There is no mention of AI or ML in the text.

No
The device is a surgical face mask intended to protect against transfer of microorganisms and fluids, reducing potential exposure. It does not treat or diagnose a disease or condition, which are characteristics of a therapeutic device.

No

The device description indicates it is a surgical face mask intended to protect against the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, multi-layered face mask made of nonwoven and melt blown fabrics with ear straps and a nose piece. The performance studies focus on physical properties like filtration efficiency, pressure resistance, and flammability, which are characteristic of hardware devices, not software. There is no mention of software components, algorithms, or data processing.

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 mask is for protecting both the patient and healthcare personnel from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. This is a physical barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details the physical construction of the mask (layers, ear straps, nose piece). 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, pressure resistance, blood penetration, flammability, biocompatibility). These are not diagnostic performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or accuracy in detecting a disease or condition.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition based on in vitro testing.

In summary, this device is a physical barrier intended for infection control, not a diagnostic tool.

§ 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.

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
