2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
The document does not specify the exact sample sizes used for each individual performance test (BFE, differential pressure, PFE). However, for Resistance to penetration by synthetic blood and Flame spread, it states that 32 test articles were used.
The data provenance is not explicitly stated in terms of country of origin or retrospective/prospective. Given this is a 510(k) submission for a Chinese manufacturer (Xiantao Daoqi Plastic Co., Ltd.) and tests are cited against international (ISO) and US (ASTM) standards, the testing was likely conducted in laboratories, possibly in China or other accredited facilities. The nature of these tests (bench testing) implies they are prospective assessments of product samples.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
This information is not applicable to this type of submission. The ground truth for these medical device tests (surgical face mask performance and biocompatibility) is established by adherence to recognized international and national standards (ASTM, ISO). These standards define specific methodologies and acceptance criteria. No human experts are involved in establishing "ground truth" in the way they would for a diagnostic AI study. The "experts" are the technicians performing the standardized tests and interpreting the results against the defined criteria.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
This information is not applicable. The tests are objective measurements against predefined criteria in recognized standards. There is no adjudication process involving multiple human observers or adjudicators for these types of physical and chemical tests.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic imaging devices or AI-powered clinical decision support systems, not for a physical device like a surgical face mask.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
No, a standalone (algorithm only) performance study was not done. This is not an AI/algorithm-based device. The device is a physical surgical face mask.
7. The type of ground truth used
The "ground truth" for this device is established by objective measurements and assessments against recognized performance and biocompatibility standards (ASTM F2100-23, ASTM F2101-23, ASTM F1862/F1862M-17, ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-23, ISO 10993-10). These standards define the acceptable range of physical properties and biological responses for surgical masks.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an AI or machine learning model, so there is no "training set."
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable. As there is no training set, there is no ground truth for a training set.

The surgical face mask color is blue. Product is Level 3 based on ASTM F2100-19. The surgical face mask is single-use, disposable devices, provided non-sterile.
This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from Wuhan Huashida Protective Products Co., Ltd. for their Surgical Face Mask. It is a submission to the FDA demonstrating that their device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device.
The premise of a 510(k) submission is to demonstrate "substantial equivalence' to a legally marketed device, not necessarily to prove the device's independent safety and effectiveness through extensive clinical trials as would be required for a PMA (Premarket Approval) application. For a device like a surgical face mask, the FDA generally relies on performance testing against recognized standards rather than clinical studies, especially if the device is similar in design and materials to existing cleared devices.
Therefore, the information provided below is based on the provided document and tailored to how a 510(k) submission addresses "acceptance criteria" through non-clinical testing.
Here's an analysis of the provided text in relation to your request about acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document provides a table of acceptance criteria and results from non-clinical performance and biocompatibility testing.
| Items | Purpose | Acceptance Criteria | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| For Surgical Face Mask Performance | |||
| Fluid Resistance Performance | The purpose of the performance testing is to demonstrate the functionality of the subject device | 29 out of 32 pass at 160 mmHg | Pass |
| Particulate Filtration Efficiency | (Implied: To demonstrate the mask's ability to filter particulate material) | $\geq$ 98% | Pass |
| Bacterial Filtration Efficiency | (Implied: To demonstrate the mask's ability to filter microorganisms) | $\geq$ 98% | Pass |
| Differential Pressure | (Implied: To measure the breathability of the mask) | <6.0 mmH2O/cm² | Pass |
| Flammability | (Implied: To assess the flammability risk of the mask material) | Class 1 | Pass |
| For Surgical Face Mask Biocompatibility | |||
| Cytotoxicity | The purpose of the testing is to demonstrate safety of the subject device | Non-Cytotoxic | Under the conditions of the study, the device is non-cytotoxic. |
| Irritation | (Implied: To assess potential skin irritation from mask materials) | Non-Irritating | Under the conditions of the study, the device is non-irritating. |
| Sensitization | (Implied: To assess potential allergic reactions or sensitization from mask materials) | Non-Sensitizing | Under the conditions of the study, the device is non-sensitizing. |
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Sample Size:
- For "Fluid Resistance Performance," the sample size is explicitly stated as 32 (29 out of 32 pass).
- For other performance and biocompatibility tests, specific sample sizes are not explicitly stated in this summary document. They would typically be defined within the testing protocols for each standard (e.g., ASTM F2299, ASTM F2101, ISO 10993-5, etc.).
- Data Provenance: The tests were conducted by the manufacturer, Wuhan Huashida Protective Products Co., Ltd., in China. The data would be considered prospective as it involves new testing performed specifically for this submission.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
This type of information is not applicable to this submission. This document addresses a physical medical device (surgical face mask) evaluated through non-clinical performance testing against recognized standards. The "ground truth" for such devices is established by the specifications in the standards themselves (e.g., a BFE of >=98% is the target). There are no human "experts" establishing a subjective ground truth like in a diagnostic AI study. The results are quantitative measurements.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This is not applicable for non-clinical performance and biocompatibility testing. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used in studies where human readers (e.g., radiologists) are involved in interpreting medical images or data, and their disagreements need to be resolved to establish a "ground truth" or reference standard. This document pertains to physical device testing.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
This is not applicable. An MRMC study is relevant for evaluating the performance of AI-assisted diagnostic tools where human interpretation plays a role. This submission pertains to a surgical face mask, which is a physical barrier device, not an AI diagnostic tool. The document explicitly states: "No clinical study is included in this submission."
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This is not applicable. This question refers to the performance of an AI algorithm in isolation. The product is a surgical face mask, not an algorithm. The testing performed is standalone in the sense that it's the mask's performance being measured directly against established standards.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
The "ground truth" in this context is based on pre-defined, quantitative performance specifications established by relevant industry standards and regulatory guidance. For example:
- Fluid Resistance: Resistance to penetration by synthetic blood at a specified pressure (ASTM F1862).
- Filtration Efficiency (Particulate & Bacterial): Percentage of particles/bacteria filtered out (ASTM F2299, ASTM F2101).
- Differential Pressure: How easily air can pass through (EN 14683).
- Flammability: A classification based on burn rate (16 CFR 1610).
- Biocompatibility: Absence of cytotoxic, irritating, or sensitizing effects as per ISO 10993 standards.
These standards define the 'truth' or expected performance for a surgical mask of a certain level.
8. The sample size for the training set
This is not applicable. This device is a manufactured medical product, not an AI algorithm that requires a "training set."
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This is not applicable, as there is no "training set" for this type of device submission.

| Irritation (ISO 10993-10) | Biological Effect | Negligibly irritating | Passed (Negligibly irritating) |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not explicitly state the specific sample sizes for each non-clinical test (e.g., number of masks tested for BFE, PFE, etc.). It only indicates "Passed" for the results.
The data provenance is from non-clinical tests performed on the "Surgical Face Mask" manufactured by Xiantao Sanda Industrial Co., Ltd. The tests were conducted according to FDA guidance and international standards (ASTM, EN, ISO). The country of origin of the data is implied to be where the manufacturer is located or where the testing was contracted, which is China (Xiantao, Hubei). These are laboratory tests, not human data, so "retrospective or prospective" does not directly apply in the same way it would for clinical studies.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This section is not applicable as the ground truth for device performance in this context is established by objective, standardized test methodologies and established acceptance criteria from recognized international standards (ASTM, EN, ISO) and FDA guidance documents. There are no human experts establishing ground truth for these physical and biological performance tests.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This section is not applicable. The "adjudication method" primarily refers to expert review processes for cases, which is relevant for clinical studies or image-based diagnostic AI. For non-clinical device performance tests like those described (e.g., filtration efficiency, breathability, flammability), the results are quantitative and objective, determined by the test procedures outlined in the standards.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done
No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic devices, particularly those involving human interpretation of medical images or data, often in the context of AI assistance. This document describes a physical medical device (surgical face mask) with performance evaluated through non-clinical laboratory testing.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was Done
This section is not applicable. This document describes a physical surgical face mask, not an algorithm or AI-based device. The term "standalone performance" typically refers to the performance of an algorithm without human intervention, which does not apply here.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for the device's performance is based on established scientific and engineering standards and their specified test methodologies. For example:
- Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE): Measured according to ASTM F2101, using a biological aerosol of Staphylococcus Aureus. The "ground truth" is the empirically measured percentage of bacteria filtered.
- Differential Pressure: Measured according to EN 14683:2019 Annex C, the "ground truth" is the physical measurement of pressure drop across the mask.
- Sub-micron Particulate Filtration Efficiency (PFE): Measured according to ASTM F2299-17, using latex spheres. The "ground truth" is the empirically measured percentage of particles filtered.
- Resistance to Penetration by Synthetic Blood: Measured according to ASTM F1862-17. The "ground truth" is whether the synthetic blood penetrates the material at a specific pressure.
- Flammability: Assessed according to 16 CFR Part 1610-2008. The "ground truth" is the material's flammability classification.
- Biocompatibility: Evaluated according to ISO 10993 series (ISO 10993-5 for Cytotoxicity, ISO 10993-10 for Sensitization and Irritation). The "ground truth" is the biological response observed in standardized in vitro or in vivo tests.
These tests provide objective, measurable outcomes against predefined criteria.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This section is not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/machine learning device. The performance is assessed through direct physical and biological testing.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This section is not applicable for the same reason as point 8; there is no training set mentioned or implied for a physical medical device like a surgical face mask.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
- Synthetic Blood Penetration: 32 samples per test condition for each of 3 lots.
- Other Performance Tests (PFE, BFE, Delta P, Flammability): Specific sample sizes are not explicitly stated for each of these, but performance is reported as averages or 'Pass' implying multiple samples were tested to demonstrate compliance with the standards.
- Biocompatibility Tests: Sample sizes are not explicitly stated.
- Data Provenance: The tests appear to be laboratory performance tests, not clinical data from patients. The sponsor, Xiantao Rayxin Medical Products Co., Ltd., is based in China. The specific location where these tests were performed is not detailed, but it would typically be a certified testing laboratory. The data is based on prospective testing of the manufactured devices to the specified standards.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications:
- Not applicable. This is a hardware device where ground truth is established through standardized laboratory measurements and physical properties, not human interpretation or expert consensus. The "ground truth" is defined by the performance standards themselves (e.g., a specific percentage filtration, a specific pressure differential).
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
- Not applicable. See point 3. Testing involves objective measurements against established physical and chemical standards, not subjective interpretations requiring adjudication.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done:
- No. This is not an AI/ML-assisted diagnostic device, so an MRMC study is not relevant. The device's effectiveness is based on its physical barrier properties and breathability, not its ability to assist human readers.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done:
- No. This is a physical product (surgical face mask), not an algorithm or software. The concept of "standalone performance" for an algorithm is not applicable here.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
- Standardized Physical and Chemical Measurements & Definitions: Ground truth is defined by the requirements of the specific ASTM, ISO, EN, and CFR standards referenced. For example, "Level 1 pass at ≥95%" for BFE means that any value of 95% or higher, as measured by the ASTM F2101 method, constitutes a 'pass'. This is an objective, quantitative ground truth.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
- Not applicable. This is a manufactured product, not an AI/ML model that undergoes a "training" phase.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
- Not applicable. See point 8.

The document provided is a 510(k) Pre-market Notification for a Surgical Face Mask (Non-sterile). It outlines the non-clinical testing performed to establish substantial equivalence to a predicate device. This type of submission relies on performance testing against established standards rather than clinical studies for device functionality.
Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
| Test Methodology | Purpose | Acceptance Criteria for Level 3 Barrier | Reported Device Performance (Result) |
|---|---|---|---|

| Cytotoxicity | Assess the potential risk of cytotoxicity of mask material | Non-cytotoxic | Pass (Under the condition of this study, the device has no potential toxicity.) |
| Irritation | Assess the potential risk of irritation of mask material | Negligibly irritating | Under the condition of this study, the device is negligibly irritating. |
| Sensitization | Assess the potential risk of sensitization of mask material | Non-sensitizing | Under the conditions of the study, the device is non-sensitizing. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Sample Size for Performance Tests: For Bacterial Filtration Efficiency, Differential Pressure, Sub-micron Particulate Filtration Efficiency, Resistance to Penetration by Synthetic Blood, and Flammability, 3 non-consecutive lots were tested, with a sample size of 32 per lot.
- Sample Size for Biocompatibility Tests: The exact sample size for cytotoxicity, irritation, and sensitization tests is not specified, but the tests were performed on the mask material.
- Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin of the test data or whether the studies were retrospective or prospective. Given the applicant is from China (Xiantao Junhui Plastic Products Co., Ltd.), it is highly probable that the testing was conducted in China or a region following these international standards. The testing is non-clinical performance testing rather than human subject data.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
This section is not applicable. The device is a surgical face mask, and its performance is evaluated through standardized non-clinical laboratory tests (e.g., filtration efficiency, breathability, fluid resistance, flammability, biocompatibility) based on criteria defined in established standards (ASTM, EN, ISO, CFR). There is no "ground truth" in the clinical sense established by human experts for these types of tests. The "ground truth" is the objective measurement against the specified standard's criteria.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This section is not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 refer to methods used to resolve discrepancies among multiple expert readers or scorers, typically in medical imaging or clinical trials. As stated above, the device performance is determined by objective laboratory measurements against predefined standards.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
This section is not applicable. MRMC studies and AI assistance are relevant to diagnostic or interpretation devices, particularly in medical imaging. The device in question is a surgical face mask, which does not involve human readers interpreting data or AI assistance.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This section is not applicable. "Standalone performance" or "algorithm only" refers to the performance of an AI or software algorithm without human intervention, again typically for diagnostic or interpretative devices. The surgical face mask does not use an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The "ground truth" for this device's performance is based on objective measurements against established international and national standards. For example:
- For Bacterial Filtration Efficiency, the ground truth is the measured percentage of bacteria filtered, compared against the ≥98% standard.
- For Resistance to Penetration by Synthetic Blood, the ground truth is the number of samples passing the test at 160 mmHg, compared against the 29 out of 32 pass standard.
- For Biocompatibility, the ground truth is determined by the results of standardized tests for cytotoxicity, irritation, and sensitization, compared against criteria like "non-cytotoxic," "negligibly irritating," and "non-sensitizing."
8. The sample size for the training set
This section is not applicable. "Training set" refers to data used to train machine learning models. This device is a physical product (a surgical face mask) and does not involve machine learning or AI, and therefore no training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This section is not applicable for the same reason as point 8.

Study that Proves the Device Meets Acceptance Criteria:
The study proving the device meets the acceptance criteria is a non-clinical performance and biocompatibility testing program, as detailed in Table 3 of the submission. The key objective was to demonstrate that the subject device performs "as well as or better than the identified predicate device" (K160269) across all specified test parameters, and specifically that the change in nose clamp material (from polyethylene coated steel wire to just polyethylene) does not negatively impact performance, and allows for MR safety.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not explicitly state the specific sample sizes (number of masks tested) for each of the performance tests (Fluid Resistance, PFE, BFE, Differential Pressure, Flammability, Biocompatibility). However, it implies that the tests were conducted according to the relevant ASTM and ISO standards, which typically specify sample sizes for such evaluations.
- Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin of the data beyond the manufacturer (SAN-M PACKAGE CO., LTD.) being located in Japan. The type of study is prospective non-clinical performance and biocompatibility testing conducted on the newly manufactured subject device and, for comparison, on the predicate device.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
This information is not applicable in this context. The "ground truth" for a medical mask's performance is established by adherence to recognized performance standards (e.g., ASTM F2100-11, ISO 10993) and measured through objective laboratory tests. There is no concept of expert consensus or interpretation for these physical and biological performance characteristics.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This information is not applicable. Adjudication methods (like 2+1 or 3+1) are typically used in clinical studies involving interpretation of medical images or patient outcomes, where human reviewers make subjective assessments that might require a consensus. Performance tests for surgical masks are objective, standardized laboratory measurements that yield quantitative results (e.g., filtration efficiency percentages, pressure differentials, pass/fail for chemical tests).
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
This information is not applicable. An MRMC study is relevant for evaluating diagnostic imaging devices where multiple readers interpret cases to assess the effectiveness of an AI system, with and without AI assistance. The device in question is a surgical face mask, which does not involve human interpretation or AI assistance in its function or evaluation.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study
This information is not applicable. This concept applies to AI/ML software as a medical device (SaMD). The device under review is a physical medical device (surgical face mask), not an algorithm or software. Its performance is evaluated through direct physical and biological testing.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for the performance of the surgical face masks is established through objective, standardized laboratory measurements against predefined thresholds and criteria outlined in recognized national and international standards (e.g., ASTM F2100-11 for mask performance, ISO 10993 for biocompatibility, 16 CFR 1610 for flammability, MIL-M-36945C for differential pressure). It is not based on expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data in the traditional clinical sense, but rather on physical and chemical properties and biological response.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
This information is not applicable. The device is a physical product (surgical face mask), not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This information is not applicable for the same reason as point 8.
