Intended Use
The Surgical Face Masks are intended to be worn to protect both the patient and healthcare personnel from transfer of microorganisms, body fluids and particulate material. These face masks are 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 Masks are single use, three-layer, flat –folded masks with ear loops/tie coverall and nose clamp. The Surgical Face Masks are manufactured with three layers, the inner and outer layers are made of spun-bond polypropylene, and the middle layer is made of melt blown polypropylene filter. The ties/ear loops are held in place over the users' mouth and nose by two ties/ear loops welded to the facemask. The loops are made of Nylon and spandex and the ties are made of polypropylene nonwoven. The nose clamp in the layers of facemask is to allow the user to fit the facemask around their nose, which is made of PP coated steel wire. The Surgical Face Masks will be provided in blue. The Surgical Face Masks are sold non- sterile and are intended to be single use, disposable devices.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and filtration capabilities of a surgical face mask, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device, a surgical face mask, is intended for protection from transfer of microorganisms and fluids, not for treating a disease or condition.

No
The device, a surgical face mask, is described as protecting from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material, for infection control practices. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of materials like polypropylene, nylon, spandex, and steel wire, indicating it is a hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the masks are 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 on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical construction of the mask (layers, materials, ear loops/ties, nose clamp). There is no mention of reagents, test strips, or any components used to analyze biological samples.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical properties and barrier effectiveness of the mask (blood penetration, filtration efficiency, breathability, flammability, biocompatibility). These are not studies related to the accuracy or performance of a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is typically used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Surgical Face Masks are a medical device intended for personal protection and infection control, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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 Eva Li:

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
