Indications for Use
Disposable Surgical Gown and Disposable Reinforced Surgical Gown are intended to be worn by operating room personnel during surgical procedure to protect both the surgical patient and the operating room personnel from transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. Per ANSI/AAMI PB70:2012 Liquid barrier performance and classification of protective apparel and drapes intended for use in health care facilities, Disposable Surgical Gown ML515M45U met the requirements for Level 3 classification, Disposable Surgical Gown GD524ME65 and Disposable Reinforced Surgical Gown met the requirements of Level 4 classification.
Device Story
Disposable surgical gowns (reinforced and non-reinforced) designed for use by operating room personnel; intended to provide a physical barrier against microorganisms, body fluids, and particulates during surgery. Devices are single-use, sterile, and available in six sizes (S-XXXL). Principle of operation relies on material barrier properties (SMS nonwoven, PE film) to meet ANSI/AAMI PB70 Level 3 or Level 4 liquid barrier performance standards. Healthcare providers wear the gown as personal protective equipment; output is the physical protection of the wearer and patient. Benefits include reduced risk of cross-contamination and infection transmission in the surgical environment.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Performance verified via AATCC 127 (hydrostatic pressure), AATCC 42 (water impact), ISO 9073-10 (linting), ASTM D5034 (breaking strength), ASTM D5587 (tearing strength), ASTM D737 (air permeability), and ASTM F1671 (blood-borne pathogen resistance). Biocompatibility confirmed via ISO 10993-5 (cytotoxicity) and ISO 10993-10 (irritation/sensitization).
Technological Characteristics
Materials: SMS nonwoven, PE film, polyester, blue masterbatch. Barrier levels: AAMI PB70 Level 3 and Level 4. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (EO) to SAL 10^-6. Physical properties: Class I flammability, >50cm hydrostatic pressure, <1.0g water impact. Sizes: S-XXXL.
Indications for Use
Indicated for operating room personnel during surgical procedures to protect the patient and personnel from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material.
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.

{10}------------------------------------------------
{11}------------------------------------------------
#### Different - Style
The style of the proposed device is different from the predicate device is available in two styles, non-reinforced and reinforced, which can be covered by predicate device K192290 and reference device K121152. The proposed device offers more options that physician can choose based on clinical conditions. Therefore, this difference will not affect the safety and effectiveness of the proposed device.
#### Different - Weight per square
Although the weight per square of the proposed device and the weight per square of the predicate device are different, the difference in the weight per square will not affect the intended use. In addition, the performance testing results demonstrated that the proposed surgical gowns can meet the barrier protection level 4 requirement as required by PB70. Therefore, this difference will not affect the safety and effectiveness of the proposed device.
#### Different - Size
The size for the proposed surgical gowns is different from the predicate device. The proposed surgical gowns are available in 6 product sizes, including S, M, L, XL, XXL and XXXL. However, the difference in the size will not affect the device performance. Different size can be selected by surgeon's condition. Therefore, this difference will not affect the safety and effectiveness of the proposed device.
#### Different - Breaking strength
The longitude and latitude breaking strength of the Level 4 Standard Surgical Gown is larger than that of the predicate device K192290, so it is better than the predicate device. Although the Breaking strength
{12}------------------------------------------------
of the longitude of the Level 4 Reinforced Surgical Gown is smaller than that of the predicate device K192290, according to EN 13795-1:2019 Surgical clothing and drapes - Requirements and test methods, the acceptance criteria of breaking strength shall be more than 20N and the test result for Level 4 Reinforced Surgical Gown can meet this acceptance criteria. Therefore, this difference will not affect the safety and effectiveness of the proposed device.
## Different - Tearing strength
Although the longitude and latitude tear strength of the proposed device is different from that of the predicate device K192290, the longitude and latitude tear strength of the proposed device is larger than that of predicate device K192290, so the tearing strength is better than that of the predicate device K192290. Therefore, although the data are different, this difference will not affect the safety and effectiveness of the proposed device.
#### Different - Material
The material for the proposed surgical gowns is different from the predicated device. However, the biocompatibility test for proposed device was performed and the results showed no adverse effect. Therefore, this difference will not affect the safety and effectiveness of the proposed device.
#### Summary of Non-Clinical Tests 8.
