Intended Use

"Skypro. Surgical Gown 6021" are intended to protect both surgical patients and operating room personnel from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. They are classified as Level 3 surgical gowns in accordance with ANSI/AAMI PB70 and used in healthcare facilities. The gown is single use, disposable, and provided sterile.

Device Description

"Skypro, Surgical Gown 6021" are sterile, disposable, and intended for single use. They are fundamentally made of blue non-woven spunbond-meltblown-spunbond (SMS) polypropylene fabrics, and come in a variety of sizes (XS, S, M, L, XL, and XXL). The gown features white elastic cuffs, a hook-and-loop tap for closing the neck, and four waist belts for closing the back.

"Skypro, Surgical Gown 6021" is constructed in accordance with AAMI PB70 Level 3 specifications. The major raw material of the surgical gown is non-woven SMS polypropylene fabric, which is a trilaminate non-woven fabric with a densely packed structure (i.e., small micron pore sizes) to provide tortuous paths to block the penetration of particulate matter. The hydrophobic nature of the fabric can effectively prevent the absorption and penetration of liquids and body fluids. The joints and seam regions of the surgical gown are sealed via ultrasonic vibration- assisted welding to avoid the penetration of liquids through joints and seam stitching. The whole of the surgical gown exhibits a barrier performance of Level 3.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the 510(k) submission for the "Skypro, Surgical Gown 6021" and compares it to a predicate device. This document is a regulatory submission for a medical device (surgical gown), not a software-based AI/ML device. Therefore, the bulk of the questions, specifically those related to AI/ML device performance (like "effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance," "standalone performance," "number of experts for ground truth," or "sample size for training set"), are not applicable.

However, I can extract information related to the acceptance criteria and study proving the device meets those criteria, as well as the types of testing performed for this non-AI medical device.
