Device Description

POWDER FREE LATEX EXMAINATION GLOVES

AI/ML Overview

This document, K071322, is a 510(k) premarket notification for Powder Free Latex Examination Gloves. It is a regulatory clearance letter from the FDA, and as such, it does not contain the detailed technical study information typically found in a scientific publication or clinical trial report that describes acceptance criteria and device performance in the way requested.

Therefore, I cannot provide a direct answer to your request regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets them from the provided text. The document confirms that the device is "substantially equivalent" to legally marketed predicate devices, meaning it meets the regulatory requirements for this class of device based on comparisons to existing products, rather than presenting a novel study designed to establish new performance criteria.

Here's why each of your requested points cannot be extracted from this specific document:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: This document does not specify quantitative acceptance criteria (e.g., tensile strength, viral barrier effectiveness) or present results from tests against such criteria. It's a regulatory clearance letter, not a performance report.
  2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance: Not mentioned.
  3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable or mentioned.
  4. Adjudication method: Not applicable or mentioned.
  5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: Not applicable. This device is a physical glove, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.
  6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This device is a physical glove, not an algorithm.
  7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): Not applicable in the context of diagnostic "ground truth." For gloves, "ground truth" might refer to established physical properties and barrier effectiveness, but this document does not detail the testing.
  8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. Examination gloves do not typically involve "training sets" in the machine learning sense.
  9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

Dear Ms. Hoon:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice. labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
