Intended Use
The Aero Chrome* Select Breathable Performance Surgical Gowns are sterile, single use surgical apparel intended to be worn by healthcare professionals to help protect both the patient and the healthcare worker from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate matter. The Aero Chrome* Select Breathable Performance Surgical Gowns meet the Level 4 requirements of the AAMI PB70:2012 Liquid Barrier classifications.
Device Story
Surgical gown; single-use; sterile or non-sterile. Constructed from SFSMS (Spunbond/Film/Spunbond/Meltblown/Spunbond) laminate fabric. Worn by healthcare professionals in surgical settings to provide barrier protection against microorganisms, body fluids, and particulates. Provides AAMI Level 4 liquid barrier protection in critical zones and ASTM F1671-compliant protection in non-critical back zones. Protects both patient and clinician; reduces cross-contamination risk.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data. Testing included flammability (16 CFR 1610), biocompatibility (ISO 10993-5, -10, -7), laser ignition resistance (ISO 11810-1), AAMI PB70:2012 Level 4 liquid barrier performance, ASTM F1671 viral penetration resistance, tensile strength (ASTM D5034), abrasion resistance (WSP 20.5), and water vapor transmission (WSP 70.4). All tests passed.
Technological Characteristics
SFSMS (Spunbond/Film/Spunbond/Meltblown/Spunbond) laminate fabric; moisture-vapor breathable; polypropylene/polyethylene blend. AAMI PB70:2012 Level 4 barrier. Sterilization via Ethylene Oxide (EtO). Single-use. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for healthcare professionals as sterile, single-use surgical apparel to protect patients and workers from microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate matter. Meets AAMI PB70:2012 Level 4 liquid barrier requirements.
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.
