Used in healthcare settings under adult supervision to provide respiratory tract protection. Device is worn by patient; provides physical barrier against particulates and biological aerosols. Benefits include reduced exposure to respiratory contaminants for pediatric patients.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Evaluated per Mil-M369454C, ASTM F2101-07 (Bacterial Filtration Efficiency), ASTM F2299 (Particulate Penetration), ISO 10993 (Biocompatibility), EN 71-3 (Migration of Elements), and 16 CFR 1610 (Flammability). Consumer evaluation conducted for mechanical/physical hazards (choking, strangulation, tissue injury). All tests met acceptance criteria.

## Technological Characteristics

Three-layer nonwoven polyester/polypropylene construction. Knitted polyester/lycra earloops. Malleable nosepiece. Single-use, non-sterile. Tested to ASTM F2101-07, ASTM F2299, ISO 10993, EN 71-3, and 16 CFR 1610.

## Regulatory 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.

|---------|------------------------------|
| K082258 | CrossTex® Surgical Masks     |
| K060776 | Hong Ya Surgical Face Mask   |

The Kimberly-Clark Pediatric/ Child Facemask is comparable to the predicate devices cited in terms of materials of composition and performance.

The indications for use are slightly different from predicate devices due to the pediatric population for which this mask is intended to be worn, the differences are not critical to the intended use of the device, and do not affect the safety and effectiveness of the device when used as labeled.

# Conclusions:

The Kimberly-Clark Pediatric/ Child Facemask have the same or similar intended use and technological characteristics as the predicate devices. Bench testing demonstrates the safety and efficacy of the Pediatric/ Child Facemask to standards cited. The Kimberly-Clark Pediatric/ Child Facemask does not raise any new questions concerning safety and effectiveness. The Kimberly-Clark Pediatric/ Child Facemask is substantially equivalent to referenced predicate devices.
