The acceptance criteria and device performance for the "Disposable medical surgical mask" (K212097) are detailed in the provided tables.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Test Method | Purpose | Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance (K212097) |
|---|---|---|---|
| ASTM F1862 | Resistance to penetration by synthetic blood | 160 mm Hg | 160 mm Hg (32 out of 32 pass) |
| ASTM F2299 | Sub-micron particulate filtration efficiency at 0.1 micron | ≥ 98% | ≥ 99% |
| ASTM F2101 | Bacterial Filtration Efficiency | ≥ 98% | ≥ 99% |
| EN 14683 Annex C | Differential Pressure | < 6.0 mm H2O/cm² | < 4.9 mm H2O/cm² |
| 16 CFR 1610 | Flammability | Class 1 | Class 1 |
| ISO 10993-10 | Irritation | No irritation effect | No irritation effect |
| ISO 10993-10 | Sensitization | No sensitization effect | No sensitization effect |
| ISO 10993-5 | Cytotoxicity | No cytotoxicity effect | No cytotoxicity effect |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- ASTM F1862 (Resistance to penetration by synthetic blood): The test involved 32 samples, "32 out of 32 pass at 160 mmHg."
- For other tests (Particulate Filtration Efficiency, Bacterial Filtration Efficiency, Differential Pressure, Flammability, Biocompatibility), specific sample sizes are not explicitly stated in the provided document beyond the quantitative results.
- Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin of the data or whether the tests were retrospective or prospective. These are non-clinical (laboratory) tests performed on the device itself.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
This submission concerns a medical mask, and the evaluation is based on non-clinical performance and biocompatibility testing against established ASTM, ISO, EN, and CFR standards. Therefore, clinical expert ground truth is not applicable in the context of this device's submission and approval process. The "ground truth" is defined by the requirements of the standards themselves.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
Not applicable. This is not a clinical study involving human readers or cases requiring adjudication. The device performance is assessed through standardized laboratory tests.
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:
Not applicable. This device is a disposable medical surgical mask, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
Not applicable. This device is a physical product (mask), not an algorithm. The performance is inherent to the material and design of the mask as tested in laboratory settings.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
The "ground truth" for the performance evaluation of the mask is based on established national and international standards for medical face masks and biological evaluation of medical devices. These standards (e.g., ASTM F2100, ASTM F1862, ASTM F2299, ASTM F2101, EN 14683, ISO 10993) define the methodologies and acceptance criteria for specific physical, mechanical, and biological properties.
8. The sample size for the training set:
Not applicable. This is a physical medical device (mask), not a machine learning model. There is no concept of a "training set" for its evaluation.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device. The performance is measured directly against predefined standard criteria.

Dear Ray 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.

§ 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.
