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
| Item/Test Method | Purpose | Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance (Result) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fluid Resistance (ASTM 1862) | Demonstrate resistance to fluid spray | Pass at 80 mmHg (level 1 fluid resistance) | Pass |
| 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 < 5.0 mm H2O/cm² | Pass |
| Flammability (16 CFR 1610) | Demonstrate low flammability Class 1 | (Implicitly Class 1, based on predicate) | Pass |
| Biocompatibility: Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5) | Demonstrate low cytotoxic potential | Under the conditions of the study, non-cytotoxic | Pass |
| Biocompatibility: Skin Sensitization (ISO 10993-10) | Demonstrate low skin sensitization potential | Under the conditions of the study, not a sensitizer | Pass |
| Biocompatibility: Skin Irritation (ISO 10993-10) | Demonstrate low skin irritation potential | Under the conditions of the study, not an irritant | Pass |
| ASTM F2100 Level (ASTM F2100) | Demonstrates face mask performance | Meet Level 1 requirements | Pass |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes used for each individual test. It mentions "non-clinical testing" and the results are presented as "Pass" for each criterion. The data provenance is also not specified in terms of country of origin or whether it's retrospective or prospective, beyond being non-clinical (laboratory-based) tests.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
This information is not applicable. The device is a surgical mask, and its performance criteria are objectively measured via standardized laboratory tests (e.g., ASTM, ISO, EN standards) rather than requiring expert interpretation for ground truth.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
This information is not applicable. The tests are laboratory-based and produce quantitative results compared against predefined thresholds, not subjective assessments requiring adjudication.
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
There was no MRMC comparative effectiveness study. This document describes the performance of a physical device (surgical mask) through non-clinical testing, not an AI or diagnostic imaging device that would involve human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This information is not applicable. The subject is a physical surgical mask, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
The "ground truth" for the performance of the surgical mask is established by the specified industry and regulatory standards and test methods (e.g., ASTM F1862 for fluid resistance, ASTM F2101-19 for Bacterial Filtration Efficiency, ISO 10993 for biocompatibility). These standards define objective criteria and measurement procedures.
8. The sample size for the training set
This information is not applicable. This is not a study involving a training set for an algorithm or a similar machine learning context. The tests are for a physical product.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This information is not applicable for the reasons stated in point 8.

Dear Eric Ly:
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.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal
{1}------------------------------------------------

§ 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.
