Indications for Use

The Procedure 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. All models are single use, disposable devices, provided nonsterile.

Device Story

Procedure Masks (models GFM31A, GFM42A, GFM43A) are single-use, disposable face masks designed for infection control. GFM31A features three layers (polypropylene spunbond/meltblown/spunbond); GFM42A and GFM43A feature four layers. Models include welded ear loops and a PVC-coated nose wire for fit (GFM31A also offers an MRI-safe version without a nose wire). Masks are worn by healthcare personnel or patients to provide a physical barrier against microorganisms, body fluids, and particulates. They are used in clinical settings to reduce cross-contamination and exposure to blood/body fluids. Effectiveness is verified through ASTM F2100 performance standards, including fluid resistance, bacterial filtration efficiency, and particulate filtration efficiency.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only, including fluid resistance (ASTM F1862), particulate filtration (ASTM F2299), bacterial filtration (ASTM F2101), differential pressure (EN 14683), flammability (16 CFR 1610), and biocompatibility (ISO 10993).

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Polypropylene spunbond (outer/inner layers), polypropylene meltblown (filter layer), nylon/spandex ear loops, PVC-coated steel nose wire. Design: 3-layer (GFM31A) or 4-layer (GFM42A, GFM43A) flat-pleated construction. Non-sterile, single-use, latex-free. Performance meets ASTM F2100 levels 1, 2, or 3 depending on model.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients and healthcare personnel to reduce exposure to microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material during 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 {1}------------------------------------------------ requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 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 (OS) 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.
