2.2. Product Description


Disposable mask is a medical device covering the mouth and nose providing a barrier to
minimize the direct transmission of infective agents between staff and patient.
The transmission of infective agents during medical procedures can occur in several ways.
Sources are e.g. noses and mouths of the medical team. The main intended use of Disposable
masks is to protect the patients from infective agents. Disposable masks may also be
intended to be worn by patients and other persons to reduce the risk of spread of infections,
particularly in epidemic or pandemic situations.
These product meets the requirements of European Standard EN 14683:2019, Disposable
masks– requirements and test methods. It is used to limit the transmission of infective agents
exhaled by the wearer to the environment and patients. It also provides additional protection
against the penetration of bodily fluids through the product.
The mask consists of a facepiece, two ear loops and a nose clip. The facepiece is composed
of a filter layer made of PP that is moulded between two layers of non-woven fabric.
This three-ply material is made up from a melt-blown material PP placed between non-
woven fabric. The melt-blown material PP acts as the filter that stops microbes from entering
or exiting the mask. The masks feature pleats or folds. Three pleats are used to allow the user
to expand the mask such that it covers the area from the nose to the chin.
The mask is secured by the elastic ear loop, where a string-like material is attached to the
mask and placed behind the ears.
The Disposable masks are developed according to ergonomic criteria offers the right solution
for every face type and for every application. The 3-layer construction provides effective
protection against infections for patients and medical personnel in accordance with Type I of
EN 14683.

2.4. Functional Description

Figure 1 Function Mechanism of Disposable masks

Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) measures filter performance in both directions. The less
bacteria penetrate, the higher the performance. The BFE value of ≥ 95% required by the EU
standard EN 14683 is observed by these masks.

Figure 2 Bacterial Filtration Efficiency

When breathing, speaking, coughing, sneezing etc., one releases smaller or larger amounts of
droplets of secretions from the mucous membranes in the mouth and nose. The majority of
the nuclei are between 0,5μm and 12μm in diameter and especially the larger droplets can
contain micro-organisms from the source site. Nuclei can subsequently spread through the
air to a susceptible site such as an open operating wound or sterile equipment. The
Disposable masks intended to be used in operating rooms and health care settings with

Documentation no. BL/CE-01

Disposable masks, Type I Date: 2020-04-01 Rev. A/0

similar requirements are designed to protect the entire working environment. The standard
describes two types of Disposable masks with associated protection levels. As a minimum,
Type I Disposable masks are used for patients in order to reduce the risk of the spread of
infections, particularly in epidemic or pandemic situations. Type II masks are principally
intended for use by healthcare professionals in an operating room or other medical settings
with similar requirements. A special case, also covered by the European Medical Devices
legislation, is that in which the wearer wishes to protect him/herself against splashes of
potentially contaminated fluids and particles that are created in the surgical environment, e.g.
by the use of electro-cautery devices. If the intended use of the mask is to protect the wearer
against infective agents (bacteria, viruses or fungi), the use of a respirator device should be
considered. Performance requirements for respirators are the scope of EN149. The level of
efficiency offered by a mask depends on a number of factors such as the filtration efficiency,
quality of the material and the fit of the mask on the wearer’s face. Different designs are
suited for different applications and the careful choice of mask is therefore important in order
to achieve the desired result. The filtration capacity of mask materials can vary depending on
the filter media. The fit of masks varies considerably from those which are held in place by
ear loops fastened behind the wearer’s ears to those with tie bands around the head and a
nose clamp that can be shaped to the wearer’s nose. The effect of a very good or less good fit
can be tested in vivo whereas the filtration efficiency may be reproducibly tested in vitro.
The considerable variations in results when masks are tested in vivo results in the need for
large groups of test subjects and observations. It is thus usual to characterise mask
performance using in vitro tests of the material from which the mask is made. It is, however,
important to consider the fit of the mask carefully when a mask for a certain application is
chosen. Users should request such information from their suppliers. A further factor to be
considered is the capacity of the mask to absorb moisture from the exhaled air and thereby to
maintain its performance over a longer period of time. The more advanced designs easily
maintain their performance throughout even very long operations whereas the less advanced
ones are intended only for short procedures. The contamination risk resulting from hand
contact with a used mask means that it is essential that the mask is taken off and disposed of
when no longer worn over nose and mouth. When there is a further need for protection then a
new mask should be put on. Touching a used face mask or putting on a new one should
always be followed by a full hand disinfection procedure and a used mask should always be
disposed of when no longer needed or between two procedures. In summary, to use an
appropriate mask is an effective means to protect the working environment from droplet
contamination from nose and throat during health care procedures. Masks with very different
performance are, however, available. Therefore such factors as infection risk and mask fit
should be carefully considered when choosing a mask.

2.16.Product Performances and Safety Specification


Disposable masks are designed, manufactured and tested acc. to the standards listed in section
7.
Safety and performance specification include:
Bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE): efficiency of the Disposable mask as a barrier to
bacterial penetration.
The BFE test method is used to measure the bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) of Disposable
mask materials.
Microbial cleanliness: freedom from population of viable micro-organisms on a product
and/or a package.
In practical use, microbial cleanliness is often referred to as “bioburden”.
Differential pressure: air permeability of the mask, measured by determining the difference
of pressure across the mask under specific conditions of air flow, temperature and humidity.
The differential pressure is an indicator of the “breathability” of the mask.
Splash resistance: ability of a Disposable mask to withstand penetration of synthetic blood
projected at a given pressure.
Disposable masks specified in the European Standard EN 14683 are classified into two types
(Type I and Type II) according to bacterial filtration efficiency whereby Type II is further
divided according to whether or not the mask is splash resistant. The “R” signifies splash
resistance.
This Disposable mask is Type I mask acc. to EN 14683.

(a) establish and document a risk management plan for each device;
(b) identify and analyse the known and foreseeable hazards associated with each device;
(c) estimate and evaluate the risks associated with, and occurring during, the intended use
and during reasonably foreseeable misuse;
(d) eliminate or control the risks in accordance with the requirements;
(e) evaluate the impact of information from the production phase and, in particular, from the
post-market surveillance system, on hazards and the frequency of occurrence thereof, on
estimates of their associated risks, as well as on the overall risk, benefit-risk ratio and risk
acceptability; and
(f) based on the evaluation of the impact of the information, if necessary amend control
measures in line with the requirements.
This process includes the following elements:

⎯ risk analysis;
⎯ risk evaluation;
⎯ risk control;
⎯ production and post-production information.

Risk Management is performed acc. to EN ISO 14971.

Risk control measures for the design and manufacture of the devices are conform to safety
principles, taking account of the generally acknowledged state of the art. To reduce risks, we
manage risks so that the residual risk associated with each hazard as well as the overall
residual risk is judged acceptable. In selecting the most appropriate solutions, we follow the
order of priority: (a) eliminate or reduce risks as far as possible through safe design and
manufacture; (b) where appropriate, take adequate protection measures, including alarms if

results in a PMCF evaluation report that shall be part of the clinical evaluation report and the
technical documentation. The conclusions of the PMCF evaluation report shall be taken into
account for the clinical evaluation referred to in Article 61 and Part A of the Annex XIV and in
the risk management referred to in Section 3 of Annex I. If, through the PMCF, the need for
preventive and/or corrective measures has been identified, the manufacturer shall implement
them.
As the device in question is a well-established device, the PMCF plan and PMCF evaluation
report referred to in Part B of Annex XIV is not required. The rational for this justification
includes the following aspects:
- the safety and performance of the device are specified and tested acc. to harmonized
standards;
- no side-effects or emergent risks on the basis of factual evidence;
- continued acceptability of the benefit-risk ratio could be made;
- there were no systematic misuse or off-label use of the device.

these, together with any associated verification/validation data. The documentation will
include evidence to confirm that the change achieves the desired effect, and that the device
continues to comply with the requirements of the Regulation (EU) 2017/745.
Where the technical documentation or part thereof has been submitted to the Notified Body in
connection with conformity assessment involving design - or type-examination, the
manufacturer is required to inform the Notified Body of substantial changes and obtain
further approval.
The QMR will inform the Notified Body and/or authorized body within 10 days of
“significant” changes to the quality system and/or changes to the device which could affect
compliance with the General Safety and Performance Requirements or the intended use of the
device as described in the SOP – reporting to Regulatory Authority.
A notification of any significant or substantial change may include a change that could
reasonably be expected to affect the safety or effectiveness of the medical devices as follows:
• the key manufacturing process, facility or equipment;
• the key manufacturing, QA/QC control procedures;
• the key design, performance characteristics and specifications of material and device;
• the intended use of the device.
Significant changes that require notification to the Notified Body and/or Competent
Authorities may include but are not limited to the following:
• change that would affect the class of the device
• change in the name of the device
• change in the name or address of the manufacturer
• change in the product design, performance or usage
• change in the manufacturing process or use of critical equipment
• change in the quality testing procedures (materials, process & product)
• change in the name or address of the authorized representative
• change in the identifier of the device, including the identifier of any medical device that
is part of a system, test kit, medical device group, medical device family or medical device
group family.
Other changes requiring reporting may include the change of key personnel such as the QMR
who is responsible for regulatory affairs and the ownership of the Quality Management
System. Upon the approval for changes from the Notified Body within the reasonable time
frame, the QMR will make the necessary amendment and/or changes to the quality system
and/or changes to the device.
