Intended Use

The Nitrile Examination Gloves are disposable devices intended for medical purposes that are worn on the examiner's hands to prevent contamination between patient and examiner.

Device Description

The proposed device is Powder Free Nitrile Examination Gloves. The proposed device is blue. The design of proposed device is addressing the standards as ASTM D6124,ASTM D5151, and ASTM D6319. The proposed device is non-sterile.

AI/ML Overview

This is a 510(k) premarket notification for Nitrile Examination Gloves, a Class I reserved medical device. The submission aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K171422). The "acceptance criteria" in this context refers to the performance standards and test results that the new device must meet to be considered substantially equivalent to the predicate device and safe/effective for its intended use.

Here's an analysis of the provided information concerning acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

The provided tables (Table2 Device Dimensions Comparison, Table3 Performance Comparison, and Table4 Safety Comparison) effectively serve as a comparison of the proposed device's performance against the predicate device, which inherently defines the "acceptance criteria" for substantial equivalence.

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

  • Sample Size: The document does not specify the exact sample sizes used for each test (e.g., how many gloves were tested for Freedom from Holes, Tensile Strength, etc.). It only references compliance with ASTM standards, which would define appropriate sample sizes for those tests.
  • Data Provenance: The tests are non-clinical (laboratory tests). The manufacturing location is China (5R MED Instruments (Chengdu) Co., Ltd.). The tests themselves are performed according to international (ISO) and U.S. (ASTM) standards. These are prospective tests, specifically conducted to demonstrate compliance for this device submission.

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

This device is not an AI/software device that requires human expert adjudication for ground truth. The "ground truth" for Nitrile Examination Gloves is established by objective, standardized physical and chemical tests defined by international (ISO) and U.S. (ASTM) consensus standards. Therefore, human experts for ground truth establishment in the clinical sense are not applicable here. The experts involved would be the certified laboratory technicians and engineers performing and interpreting the results of the specified standards.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

Not applicable. As noted above, this device relies on objective, quantifiable physical and chemical tests, not subjective interpretations requiring adjudication.

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 a physical medical device (gloves), not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistance tool.

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

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device (gloves).

7. The type of ground truth used:

The ground truth is established by objective, standardized tests defined by ASTM and ISO standards. These standards provide quantifiable criteria for properties like dimensions, tensile strength, elongation, freedom from holes, powder content, and biocompatibility.

8. The sample size for the training set:

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI/machine learning device that requires a training set.

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

Not applicable. As above, no training set is involved for this type of device.

In summary, the "study" proving the device meets acceptance criteria consists of a series of non-clinical, laboratory-based tests conducted in accordance with recognized industry standards (ASTM D6124, ASTM D5151, ASTM D6319, ASTM D7160, ISO 10993-10, ISO 10993-5). The acceptance criteria are essentially the performance requirements set forth in these standards and demonstrated by the predicate device. The results of these tests (summarized in the tables) indicate that the proposed device performs comparably to the predicate and meets the relevant safety and performance standards.

Dear Boyle Wang:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal

{1}------------------------------------------------

statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

§ 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.
