View full classification →

A Surgical Respirator is a medical-grade face mask that provides filtration of airborne particles and surgical aerosols, protecting both patients and healthcare workers from contamination during surgical or clinical procedures. When it is intended to prevent specific diseases or infections, or labeled as filtering surgical aerosols, it is not exempt and is classified as FDA Class 2 requiring 510(k) clearance; a surgical N95 respirator meeting these criteria falls under this classification. The product code is MSH, regulated under 21 CFR 878.4040, reviewed by the General and Plastic Surgery panel. This device is not an implant and is not life-sustaining.

What is a Predicate Device?

A predicate device is a legally marketed device that a new 510(k) applicant uses to demonstrate substantial equivalence. The FDA's 510(k) pathway requires manufacturers to show that their device has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as one or more predicate devices already cleared for commercial distribution.

Finding the right predicate is a critical step in 510(k) strategy. Manufacturers typically search for cleared devices with the same FDA product code, which groups devices by their intended use and regulatory classification. This tool helps you identify potential predicates by browsing all clearances within a product code.

Note that predicate devices must be legally marketed — they cannot be devices that were cleared but never commercialized, or devices subject to a mandatory recall. The determination of substantial equivalence considers intended use, technological characteristics, and performance data.
