Intended Use
When properly worn, the 3 Layer Surgical Masks are intended to protect both patient and healthcare workers from transfer of microorganisms, body fluids and particulate materials. This device is non sterile and for single use only.
Device Description
Subject Device (3 Layer Surgical Mask) is single use, 3 layers, flat-pleated style face mask with ear loops and moldable nose piece. The outer layer and inner facing layer of face mask consist of spun-bond polypropylene, and the middle layer consists of melt blown polypropylene filter. Each mask contains polyester / spandex blend ear loops to secure the mask over the user's face and mouth with moldable nose piece to firmly fit over the nose.
More Information

Not Found

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

No
The device is a surgical mask intended to protect against transferring microorganisms and body fluids, not to treat or cure a disease or condition.

No

The device description and intended use clearly state that it is a surgical mask designed to protect from transfer of microorganisms and particulate materials, not to diagnose any condition. The "Summary of Performance Studies" and "Key Metrics" sections focus on filtration efficiency, fluid resistance, and flammability, which are performance characteristics of a protective barrier, not diagnostic capabilities.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical product (a surgical mask) made of specific materials and with physical components (ear loops, nose piece). It is not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the mask is for protecting against the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate materials. 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, nose piece). It doesn't mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Performance Studies and Key Metrics: The performance studies and metrics focus on the physical properties and barrier effectiveness of the mask (filtration efficiency, fluid resistance, flammability, biocompatibility). These are not diagnostic performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC, which are typical for IVDs.
  • Lack of IVD-related terms: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, assays, or any other terms associated with in vitro diagnostics.

In summary, the device is a physical barrier intended for protection, not a test performed on samples outside the body to diagnose a condition.

§ 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 Nathan Elseser:

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
