The Surgical Face Masks 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 to blood and body fluids. This is a single use, disposable device(s), provided sterile.
The Surgical Face Masks are single use, three-layer, flat –folded masks with ear loops and nose clamp. The Surgical Face Masks are manufactured with three layers, the inner and outer layers are made of spun-bond polypropylene, and the middle layer is made of melt blown polypropylene filter. The ear loops are held in place over the users' mouth and nose by two ear loops welded to the facemask. The loops are made of Nylon and spandex. The nose clip in the layers of facemask is to allow the user to fit the facemask around their nose, which is made of Polypropylene. The Surgical Face Masks will be provided in blue. The Surgical Face Masks are sold sterilized and are intended to be single use, disposable devices.
The provided text describes the non-clinical performance testing for a surgical face mask (Trade Name: Surgical Face Mask, Model: Earloop17.5*9.5cm, K212264) to demonstrate its substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Kimberly-Clark KC100 Mask, K110455).

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth
This submission pertains to a surgical face mask, which relies on standardized physical and biological performance tests rather than expert interpretation of medical images or clinical outcomes. Therefore, there are no medical experts (e.g., radiologists) involved in establishing ground truth in the traditional sense of medical imaging AI. The "ground truth" is defined by the established ASTM and EN standards and their specific test methodologies.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. The tests are laboratory-based, quantitative, and standardized. There is no human adjudication process involved in these performance tests.
5. Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
Not applicable. This is a physical device (surgical face mask), not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool. Therefore, no MRMC study was performed or is relevant.
6. Standalone Performance (Algorithm Only)
Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an algorithm. The performance data presented is the "standalone" performance of the manufactured mask under the specified test conditions.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth is based on established industry standards and test methodologies for medical face masks, specifically:
- ASTM F2100 (Standard Specification for Performance of Materials Used in Medical Face Masks)
- ASTM F1862 (Resistance to Penetration by Synthetic Blood)
- EN 14683 (Medical Face Masks-Requirements and Test Methods)
- ASTM F2101 (Bacterial Filtration Efficiency)
- ASTM F2299 (Particulate Filtration Efficiency)
- 16 CFR 1610 (Flammability)
- ISO 10993 series for Biocompatibility (Cytotoxicity, Irritation, Sensitization)
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This is a physical device requiring manufacturing and quality control, not an AI model requiring a "training set" in the machine learning sense. The tests are for product performance verification.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable (as above). The "ground truth" for the performance of the manufactured masks is established through the adherence to and results from the specified standard tests.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes for each specific test (e.g., number of masks tested for BFE). However, for Fluid Resistance (ASTM F1862), the criteria and result are given as "32 out of 32 passes," suggesting a sample size of 32 tests for this particular performance characteristic.
- Data Provenance: The tests appear to be conducted by or on behalf of Nantong Taiweishi Medical Technology Co., Ltd. in China, as indicated by the company's address on the document. The document presents these tests as non-clinical laboratory evaluations. There is no information provided about whether these studies were retrospective or prospective, but given they are laboratory performance tests for device clearance, they would typically be considered prospective studies on manufactured samples.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts:
This type of information is generally not applicable to the performance testing of a physical product like a surgical face mask. The "ground truth" here is established by the standardized test methods themselves (e.g., ASTM F2100, F1862, F2299, F2101, EN 14683, ISO 10993, 16 CFR 1610). The results are quantitative measurements against predefined criteria, not subjective expert interpretations. Therefore, no experts were used to establish ground truth in the traditional sense of clinical or image-based studies.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
Not applicable. As noted above, these are objective physical and biological performance tests against established standards, not studies requiring expert adjudication of subjective findings.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done:
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic devices where human reader performance (with or without AI assistance) is being evaluated against some ground truth. This document pertains to the performance characteristics of a physical medical device (surgical face mask).
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
No, this question is not applicable. This device is a physical product, not an algorithm or AI system.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
The ground truth is established by standardized test methods and predefined acceptance criteria from recognized international and national standards such as ASTM, ISO, EN, and CFR. These standards define the methodology for measuring specific performance characteristics and the thresholds for acceptable performance (e.g., ≥ 98% BFE, Class 1 Flammability).
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
Not applicable. This device is a physical product, not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
Not applicable. As above, this information is not relevant for a physical medical device.
