The surgical face mask are intended to be worn to protect both the patient and healthcare personnel from transfer of microorganisms, body fluids and particulate material. The face masks are in infection control practices to reduce the potential exposure to blood & body fluid. This device is disposable, non-sterile and for single use only, Available models: Surgical Face Mask EL (Ear loops) Surgical Face Mask TO (Tie-on)
The CPL Surgical Face Mask is a 3-ply flat-pleated mask. The inner and outer layers are made of spun-bond polypropylene, and the middle layer is made of melt blown polypropylene filter. The nose wire contained in the proposed device is in the layers of face mask to allow the user to fit the face mask around their nose, which is made of polypropylene coated single core galvanized wire. The model Surgical Face Mask EL is held in place over the user's mouth and nose by two elastic ear loops welded to the facemask. The ear loops are made of braided elastic band. The model Surgical Face Mask TO is provided with non-woven tie-on string. The dimensions of the test item are: length- 175 ± 5 mm and width- 95 ± 5 mm. The ear loop length of the model Surgical Face Mask EL is 170± 5 mm. The tie-on of the model Surgical Face Mask TO has a top strap length of 410 ± 10 mm and bottom strap length of 385 ± 10 mm. The surgical masks are single-use, disposable devices, provided non-sterile.
The document describes the acceptance criteria and the study conducted to demonstrate that the CPL Surgical Face Mask meets these criteria.

§ 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.
