The Single Use Surgical Mask is intended to be worn to protect both the patient and healthcare personnel from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. This is a single use device provided non-sterile.
The Single-Use Surgical Mask is a 3-ply, disposable surgical face mask. The outer and inner layers of the mask are made of spunbond polypropylene, while the middle layer consists of a meltblown polypropylene filter fabric. The device is secured on the user's face via elastic earloops and are labeled non-sterile, single-use, and disposable. This device is a surface device intended to come in contact with intact skin for a duration of less than 24 hours.
The provided document describes the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the performance of a Single-Use Surgical Mask (K211773). This is a non-clinical study, as stated in section 8. Clinical Testing.
Here's a breakdown of the requested information:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

| Bacterial Filtration Eff. (ASTM F2101-19) | Demonstrate resistance to bacterial penetration | Pass at ≥ 99% | Pass |
| Particulate Filtration Eff. (ASTM F2299) | Demonstrate resistance to penetration of particulate matter | Pass at ≥ 95% | Pass |
| Differential Pressure (EN 14683) | Demonstrate breathability | Pass at |
§ 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.
