The Fluidshield* 3 Surgical Mask(s) and Fluidshield* 3 Procedure Mask(s) 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 of the wearer to blood and body fluids. Fluidshield* 3 Surgical Masks(s) and Fluidshield* 3 Procedure Face Mask(s) are single use, disposable device(s), provided non-sterile.
The subject device(s) are ASTM F2100 Level 3 (orange in color) Surgical and Procedure Mask(s). The Fluidshield* 3 Surgical Mask(s)s and Fluidshield* 3 Procedure Masks family of products are a four-layer mask, constructed of well-known non-woven materials used in facial protection. The Surgical Masks are provided with ties while the Procedure Masks are provided with earloops. A malleable nosepiece is placed within the bindings to conform around the wearer's nose. The Fluidshield* 3 Surgical Mask(s)s and Fluidshield* 3 Procedure Mask(s) family will be provided in designs with and without a protective visor. The Fluidshield* 3 Surgical Mask(s) and Fluidshield* 3 Procedure Mask(s) family are single use, disposable devices, provided non-sterile.
This document describes the FDA 510(k) clearance for several Fluidshield® 3 Surgical and Procedure Masks. However, it does not contain the level of detail regarding study design, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or expert qualifications that would be present in a comprehensive study report for an AI/software device. The information provided is typical for a medical device clearance describing performance characteristics and compliance with standards, not for an AI comparative effectiveness or standalone study.

§ 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.
