Indications for Use
A powder-free patient examination glove is a disposable device intended for medical purposes that is worn on the examiner's hand to prevent contamination between patient and examiner. In addition, the glove was tested for use with chemotherapy drugs in accordance with ASTM D6978-05 Standard Practice for Assessment of Medical Gloves to Permeation by Chemotherapy Drugs.
Device Story
Disposable powder-free nitrile examination glove; available in white, blue, and black colors. Used by healthcare personnel in clinical settings to provide a protective barrier against cross-contamination between patient and examiner. Device tested for chemical permeation resistance against various chemotherapy agents per ASTM D6978-05. Output is a physical barrier; clinical benefit is reduction of exposure to contaminants and specific chemotherapy agents during handling. Warning provided against use with Carmustine and Thiotepa due to insufficient breakthrough times.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Permeation testing performed per ASTM D6978-05 for various chemotherapy drugs. Breakthrough detection times reported for multiple agents; specific warnings issued for Carmustine and Thiotepa due to low breakthrough times.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Nitrile. Form factor: Powder-free examination glove. Colors: White, blue, black. Testing standard: ASTM D6978-05 for chemotherapy drug permeation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as a disposable patient examination glove by healthcare personnel to prevent cross-contamination between patient and examiner. Tested for use with specific chemotherapy drugs; contraindicated for use with Carmustine (BCNU) and Thiotepa (THT) due to low permeation breakthrough times.
Regulatory Classification
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.

Dear Eunice Yee:
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.
