    Ascend's Newest FDA 510(k) Premarket Notification (PMN) Covers Nanofiber and Microfiber Applications

    Houston – July 14, 2020 – Ascend announced that it has filed a 510(k) Premarket Notification (PMN) with the U.


    This series of masks belongs to the ActeevBiodefend™ medical product series, including two non-woven versions of nanofiber and microfiber, reaching the highest protection level of 510(k), effectively killing viruses, and resisting the spread of microorganisms, aerosols, liquid splashes, etc.


    Ascend Chief Technology Officer Dr.


    This series of masks has been tested by an independent laboratory and a team of Ascend scientists and certified to meet the level III protection level under the ASTM F2100-19 standard


    Dr.


    Some masks achieve filtration and barrier effects through electrostatic adsorption of materials, and when antimicrobial agents are added, these materials will lose their charge and the protection will fail


    The Acteev™ technology achieves antiviral effect by embedding active zinc ions in the PA66 polymer matrix


    "Acteev™ is the code that balances physical barrier properties with antiviral properties for superior protection


    Acteev™ technology covers more than 15 patent families and has been tested in a variety of finished product formats, including knitted and woven fabrics, engineering plastics, as well as nanofiber, meltblown and spunbond nonwoven materials


    Ascend submitted its first 510(k) product listing application to the FDA last month, a Class I medical surgical mask based on Acteev™ technology that provides effective protection against SARS-CoV-2


    Ascend also launched Acteev Protect™ antimicrobial fiber technology last month, a breakthrough technology designed to inhibit the growth of mold, fungus and other microorganisms, enabling long-lasting, safe, antibacterial and cleaning of textiles and nonwovens
