Medical Protective Masks are 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.
The mask materials include four layers, the inner and outer layers are made of spun-bond polypropylene, and the two middle layers are melt-blown polypropylene and non-woven polypropylene filters, respectively.
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 PE (polyethylene) with dual-Galvanized wire. The mask is a single use, disposable device, provided non-sterile in white color.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for Medical Protective Masks, a Class II medical device. It does not describe an AI medical device. Therefore, it is not possible to answer the questions about acceptance criteria and study proving device performance for an AI device.
The document focuses on non-clinical performance testing of the medical masks to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device, as required for 510(k) clearance by the FDA. The tests are for physical properties and biocompatibility of the mask, not for an AI algorithm's performance.
Here's an analysis of what is provided regarding acceptance criteria and performance, as it relates to the physical mask device, to clarify why it doesn't fit the AI-focused query:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance (for the physical mask):
| Items | Acceptance Criteria (Level 2, ASTM F2100-19) | Performance | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) (%) | ≥98 | 99.9% | Pass |
| Differential pressure (mmH2O/cm²) |
§ 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.
