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.

Similar': The subject device design is sinilar to the additional features. The additional features do not raise related the safety and effectiveness of the device. Performance testing includion has been performed on the final finished device which includes all construction materials and color additives. Similar': The subject device is offered only in single color while the predicate is offered in both Blue and Yellow colors. Peformance testing including biocompatibility evaluation has been the final finished device which includes all construction materials and color additives. Therefore, the difference does not raise any questions on the safety and effectiveness of the device. Sinitar': The gowns were tested using the ASTM D3776 standard test method. As there linits for this test, we compared the test values obtained with a similar FDA approved (K203415) device. The test values for predicate and subject were less than the when evel {8}------------------------------------------------ #### Traditional 510(k) Paneffort AAMI Level 3 Isolation Gown device, so we considered the difference in basis as acceptable. Therefore, the difference does not raise any gressions related to the safety and effectiveness of the device. Similar' and Similar': The subject devices were tested for Breaking Strength using the ASTM F2407 recommended ASTM DS134 test nethod. The breaking strength of subject device differed from the recommended range of the ASTM P2407 Standard Specification for Sugical Gowns Intended for Use in Healthcare Facilities. The difference does not raise any questions on the safety and effectiveness of the device. Similar and Similar : The subject devices were tested for Breaking Strength using the ASTM F2407 recommended ASTM D5887 test nethod. The tearing strength of the subject than the predicates, but it is within the recommended range of the ASTM F2407 for Surgical Gowns Intended for Use in Healthere, the difference does not raise any questions related to the safety and efectiveres of the device. Similar: Both the subject device and Predicate device were to the Gown using different test nethods of ASTM D1683/D1683M-11 a and ASTM D5035, respectively. Here, the Subject device to test method jielded the values within the recommended range of the ASTM F240 Standard Specification for Surgical Gowns Intented for Use in Healther. While the Predicate device was tested according to ASTM D505, which specifically utilizes cut strip test proce and elong force and elongation of most textile fabrics within the recommended range of the ASTM F2407 Standard Specification. As both the performed to indicate the durability of the fabric within the acceptable ranges, the difference does not raise any questions on the safety and effectiveness of the device. Similar": Both the subject device were tested for Lint generation using the ISO 9073-10 standard recommended test nethod. As per the annicable ISO testing standard, there is no acception to Linting, However, the standard states that devending on the choice of particle counter, the size ranges can fall within of 0.3 um or 0.5 um. As test values obtained were within this particle size limit, the difference does not raise any questions related to the safety and effectiveness of the device. Similar": Both the subject device and Predicted for Thermal and Euporative Resistance using the ASTM F1868-17 test nethod. As per the ASTM F1868 standard, the acceptance criteria are was evaporative resistance neasured for the speciment (that includes the test specinen (fabriches in test plate covered with a ligated. There are no acceptance criteria for the Reserver, as bath the gowns vere tested as per the applicable standard mot raise any questions related to the safety and effectiveness of the device. Similar": Both the subject device and Predicty were tested for Air Permeability using the ASTM D737 est method. There is no minimum performance expectation for the air permeability parameter and Ashation gowns. Therefore, the difference does not ruise any questions related to the safety and effectiveness of the device. {9}------------------------------------------------ ## 6.
