Intended Use

A powdered Patient Examination Glove is a disposable device made of natural rubber latex or symthetic material that bears powder to facilitate donning and is intended to be worn on the hand or finger(s) for medical purposes to provide a barrier against potentially infectious materials and other contaminants.

Device Description

Patient Examination Glove, Powdered (with protein labeling claims claims 300 micrograms or less)

AI/ML Overview

This device is a Powdered Latex Patient Examination Glove with Protein Label Claims (300 micrograms or less). As such, it is a Class I medical device and its performance is assessed against established physical and chemical specifications, rather than clinical performance metrics typically associated with AI/software devices. Therefore, many of the requested categories are not applicable.

Here's an analysis of the provided information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria (Specification)UnitReported Device Performance (Compliance)
Overall Lengthmm minimumMeets (230 mm minimum)
Width (for medium Glove)mm minimumMeets (95 mm minimum)
Palm Thicknessmm minimumMeets (0.08 mm minimum)

Protein Label Claimsmicrograms or lessMeets (300 micrograms or less)
Adherence to ASTM Standard Specification D3578-05-Meets all current specifications
Specialty/Chemotherapy Claims-No claims for this use
Former Release Powder or Chemical-None used

The document states, "The data for this examination glove meets all of the current specification listed under ASTM Standard Specification D3578-05." This statement directly confirms that the device meets the established acceptance criteria.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Test Set Sample Size: Not explicitly stated. The specifications provided (e.g., AQL for pinholes, physical properties) are typically derived from a statistically significant sample as defined by the ASTM standard referenced (D3578-05). However, the specific number of gloves tested for each parameter is not included in this summary.
  • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated beyond the manufacturing location (Eufaula, Alabama, U.S.A.). It is assumed that the testing was conducted by the manufacturer or a certified lab on samples produced at this location. It is retrospective in the sense that the data was collected prior to the 510(k) submission.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

  • Not Applicable. This is a medical device (glove) whose performance is evaluated through physical and chemical testing against established standards, not through interpretation by human experts. The "ground truth" is defined by the ASTM standard D3578-05.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

  • Not Applicable. As there are no human interpretations involved in determining glove performance against physical specifications, no adjudication method (like 2+1, 3+1 consensus) is needed.

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 is not an AI/software device, and its performance is not assessed through human reader studies.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • Not Applicable. This is not an AI/software device. Its performance is the standalone performance of the physical glove.

7. The type of ground truth used

  • Established Industry Standard (ASTM D3578-05). The ground truth for the device's performance is defined by the quantitative physical and chemical specifications outlined in the ASTM Standard Specification D3578-05 for patient examination gloves.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not Applicable. This is a physical medical device, not a machine learning model. Therefore, there is no "training set."

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Not Applicable. As there is no training set, this question is not relevant.

Dear Mr. Anderson:

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.

{3}------------------------------------------------

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complics with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
