The Disposable Surgical Face Masks are intended to be worn to protect both the patient and healthcare provider 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 bodily fluids. This is a single use, disposable device provided non-sterile.
The KDI Med Supply surgical face mask is with blue outer color layer and white inner and middle layer. Subject device is a flat pleated type mask, utilizing ear loop way for wearing, and it has a nose piece designed for fitting the face mask around the nose. The mask materials consist of an outer layer (polypropylene spunbond), inner layer (polypropylene spunbond), filter (polypropylene melt-blown) and ear-loops. The masks contains a malleable nose piece to provide a firm fit over the nose and to secure the mask over the users mouth and face. The mask has level II fluid resistance under ASTM F2100. The mask is a single use, provided nonsterile. This product contains no components made with natural rubber latex.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text, specifically for the "3 Ply Medical Grade Single Use Procedural Disposable Face Mask (K220637)".
The device is a medical face mask, and its acceptance criteria are based on established standards for such devices. The studies conducted are benchtop performance tests comparing the subject device to a predicate device and evaluating its performance against specific ASTM and ISO standards.

§ 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.
