Study Information

This document is a 510(k) premarket notification, which demonstrates substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than an independent clinical study proving new performance. Therefore, many of the typical clinical study details are not directly applicable.

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • The document does not specify a distinct "test set" in the context of a prospective clinical trial with human subjects. Instead, the device's physical properties are tested according to ASTM standards. The sample sizes for these standard tests (e.g., for dimensions, tensile strength, pinholes) are inherent to the specified ASTM methods, but not explicitly stated in this summary.
    • Data Provenance: The testing was conducted by or on behalf of Siam Sempermed Corp., LTD, in Thailand, as indicated by the company's address. The data is retrospective in the sense that it's a summary of completed testing, not a prospective clinical trial.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • Not applicable in the context of this 510(k) submission. "Ground truth" for physical properties is established by adherence to the objective criteria defined in the ASTM standards. For biocompatibility, the ground truth is established by the findings of the animal studies.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • Not applicable. Performance is measured objectively against specified physical and chemical standards.
  4. 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 pair of examination gloves, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool.
  5. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • Not applicable. This is a physical medical device (gloves).
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    • The "ground truth" for the device's performance is based on objective measurements and chemical analyses as defined by the referenced ASTM standards (e.g., D6319-10 for dimensions and physical properties, D5151-06 for pinholes, D6124-06 for residual powder) and ISO standard (10993-10 for biocompatibility).
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or AI device that requires a training set.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Not applicable.

Summary Conclusion from the document:

The provided document, a 510(k) summary, concludes that the subject device is "substantially equivalent" to its predicate device (K121549) based on identical intended use, material, production process, and compliance with the same performance and biocompatibility standards. The only difference noted is the color (White and Pink for the subject device vs. Lavender Blue for the predicate). The "study" here is primarily a series of compliance tests against established industry standards and a comparison to a previously cleared device.

§ 880.6250 Non-powdered patient examination glove.

(a)
Identification. A non-powdered patient examination glove is a disposable device intended for medical purposes that is worn on the examiner's hand or finger to prevent contamination between patient and examiner. A non-powdered patient examination glove does not incorporate powder for purposes other than manufacturing. The final finished glove includes only residual powder from manufacturing.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device, when it is a finger cot, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 880.9.
