Indications for Use

DEFEND Ear-loop Face Masks are intended to be worn to protect both the patient and healthcare professional 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, provided non-sterile.

Device Story

DEFEND Ear-loop Face Masks are single-use, non-sterile, flat-pleated surgical masks. Comprised of four layers of nonwoven polypropylene (outer, filtration, middle, and inner layers) ultrasonically welded together. Features polyester ear loops and a pliable, form-fitting nose piece to minimize gaps. Used in clinical or general settings to provide barrier protection against microorganisms, body fluids, and particulates. Operates as a passive physical barrier; no active components. Healthcare providers wear the mask to protect themselves and patients during procedures or infection control practices. Benefits include reduced risk of cross-contamination and exposure to blood/body fluids.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only. Performance verified against ASTM F2100-19 standards: Fluid Resistance (ASTM F1862) passed at 160 mmHg; Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (ASTM F2101) average 99.8%; Particulate Filtration Efficiency (ASTM F2299) average 99.7%; Differential Pressure (MIL-M-36954C/EN 14683) 3.4-4.0 mm H2O/cm²; Flammability (16 CFR 1610) Class 1.

Technological Characteristics

Four-layer nonwoven construction: spunbond polypropylene outer/inner layers, meltblown polypropylene filtration layer. Ultrasonically welded edges and ear loops. Pliable nose piece. ASTM F2100-19 Level 3 compliant. Non-sterile, single-use. No energy source or software.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use by patients and healthcare professionals to protect against transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material, and to reduce exposure to blood and body fluids in infection control practices.

Regulatory Classification

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.

Special Controls

*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.

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 statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part {1}------------------------------------------------ 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).
