Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
Are these masks reusable or designed for single-use only, and how does that affect their sterility?
These Fluidshield Surgical Masks are explicitly designed for single-use only and come in a sterile packaging. Since they are intended to be discarded after one use, sterility is maintained until the package is opened, ensuring a clean surgical environment without the risk of cross-contamination from reuse.
What types of surgical procedures are these masks primarily intended for, and why?
The masks are primarily intended for general and plastic surgery settings, as indicated by their FDA classification under product code FXX and the advisory committee designation for General, Plastic Surgery. Their design focuses on protecting against fluid exposure from splashes, sprays, or droplets, which is critical in procedures where contamination risks are higher.
How are these masks supplied, and what should I check before using them?
The masks are supplied in sterile, single-use packaging, meaning each mask is individually sealed and ready for immediate use. Before use, verify the sterility seal is intact and that the package has not been compromised. Since they are single-use, do not reuse even if they appear undamaged.
What does the FDA’s 510(k) clearance (K913043) mean for these masks, and how does it relate to their safety?
The FDA 510(k) clearance (K913043) confirms that these masks are substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device, meaning they meet the agency’s safety and effectiveness requirements for surgical masks under Class II regulation. This clearance does not imply ongoing approval but confirms the device’s compliance with FDA standards at the time of review (1991).
