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 sterile.

Device Description

The Surgical Face Masks are Flat Pleated type mask, utilizing Ear straps way for wearing, and they all have Nose clip design for fitting the face mask around the nose. The Surgical Face Masks are manufactured with three layers. The outer layer is made of polypropylene spun-bond non-woven fabric. The middle layer with filtration function is made of polypropylene melt-blown non-woven fabric. The inner layer contact with face is made of polypropylene spun-bond non-woven fabric. The nose clip is made of polyethylene strip with iron wire inside. The ear straps are made of spandex polyester fiber. The Surgical Masks are single use, disposable device, provided sterile.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for a Surgical Face Mask. It details the device's characteristics, comparison to a predicate device, and non-clinical testing results. However, it does not contain information about an AI/ML-based device or a comparative effectiveness study involving human readers.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for information regarding:

  • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance for an AI/ML device.
  • Sample size used for the test set and data provenance for an AI/ML device.
  • Number of experts and qualifications to establish ground truth for an AI/ML device.
  • Adjudication method for an AI/ML device.
  • Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study or effect size for an AI/ML device.
  • Standalone performance for an AI/ML algorithm.
  • Type of ground truth used for an AI/ML algorithm.
  • Sample size for the training set for an AI/ML algorithm.
  • How ground truth for the training set was established for an AI/ML algorithm.

The document focuses on the physical and performance characteristics of a surgical face mask, such as fluid resistance, particulate filtration, bacterial filtration, differential pressure, flammability, and biocompatibility.

Here's the information that is available in the document regarding the physical device (surgical face mask):

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance (for a Surgical Face Mask):

Test PurposeISO/ASTM StandardAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Fluid ResistanceASTM F2100-1929 out of 32 pass at 160mmHgMeet the requirement
Particulate Filtration Efficiency (PFE)ASTM F2100-19 & ASTM F2299-03≥98%Meet the requirement
Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE)ASTM F2101-19≥98%Meet the requirement
Differential PressureEN 14683:2019< 6.0 mmH2O/cm²Meet the requirement
Flammability16 CFR 1610Class I Non-flammableMeet the requirement
In Vitro CytotoxicityISO 10993-5:2009The test article extract did not show potential toxicity to L929 cells.Meet the requirement
Skin SensitizationISO 10993-10:2010The test article extracts shows no evidence of causing delayed dermal contact sensitization in the guinea pig.Meet the requirement
Skin IrritationISO 10993-10:2010There is no erythema and no edema observed on the skin of the animals treated with the test extracts.Meet the requirement

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

  • For Fluid Resistance: 32 samples (implied from "29 out of 32 pass").
  • Other tests' specific sample sizes are not explicitly stated, but often these are conducted on a statistically significant number of samples as per the respective standards.
  • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin for the non-clinical test data (e.g., where the lab testing was performed), nor does it describe the "data" as retrospective or prospective in a clinical study sense, as these are lab-based performance tests for a physical product.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
Not applicable, as this document refers to a physical device and laboratory performance testing, not AI/ML model evaluation requiring human expert ground truth.

4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
Not applicable for laboratory performance testing of a physical device.

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:
No MRMC study was done, as this is a physical medical device (surgical face mask), not an AI/ML diagnostic or assistive device. The document explicitly states: "No clinical study is included in this submission."

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
Not applicable, as this is a physical surgical face mask, not an AI/ML algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
For the physical device, the "ground truth" for compliance is defined by the technical specifications and methodologies outlined in the listed ISO/ASTM/EN standards. This is laboratory-derived data, not clinical ground truth.

8. The sample size for the training set:
Not applicable, as this is a manufactured physical product, not an AI/ML model that requires a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
Not applicable, for the reason mentioned in point 8.

§ 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.
