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

The document explicitly states "The results for Medium, Large, X-Large and XX-Large are the same as the predicate," indicating that for these sizes, existing data from the previous 510(k) submission (K231349) were leveraged. New testing was conducted for the added "Extra-Small" and "Small" sizes.

  • Extra-Small and Small Sizes: Specific values are provided for these sizes, indicating new testing was performed for them. The document does not specify the exact number of gloves or samples tested for each physical property (length, width, thickness, tensile strength, ultimate elongation, residual powder, holes) for these new sizes, nor the number of replicates for the chemotherapy drug and opioid permeation tests for the subject device. However, these tests would typically follow the methodologies outlined in the referenced ASTM and ISO standards, which define appropriate sample sizes and testing protocols.
  • Medium, Large, X-Large, and XX-Large Sizes: For these sizes, the results are stated to be "the same as the predicate," which implies that the data provenance for these sizes is from the previous 510(k) submission (K231349), and likely involved testing conducted per the same ASTM and ISO standards.

The document does not provide information on the country of origin of the data or whether it was retrospective or prospective, beyond indicating that newly generated data for XS and S sizes would be prospective for this submission, while data for other sizes are effectively retrospective from the predicate device.

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

This information is not applicable to the type of device and testing performed. The "ground truth" here is defined by objective, standardized measurements against established ASTM and ISO performance criteria for medical gloves and their resistance to chemicals, not by expert interpretation of images or clinical outcomes.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

This information is not applicable. Adjudication methods are typically used in clinical or imaging studies where subjective expert review is involved. The tests for medical gloves are objective and rely on physical measurements and chemical analysis conforming to recognized standards.

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:

This information is not applicable. MRMC studies are relevant for AI/ML-enabled diagnostic devices that rely on human-in-the-loop interpretation. The device in question is a medical glove, which is a physical barrier device, not a diagnostic tool assisted by AI/ML.

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

This information is not applicable, as it pertains to AI/ML software performance.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

The "ground truth" for the performance of these medical gloves is based on:

  • Standardized Physical and Chemical Measurements: This includes quantitative measurements like length, width, thickness, tensile strength, ultimate elongation, residual powder, and breakthrough detection times for chemicals.
  • Compliance with Recognized Standards: The acceptance criteria themselves are derived from established industry standards such as ASTM D6319-19, ASTM D5151-19, ASTM D6124-06 (Reapproved 2017), ASTM D6978-05 (Reapproved 2019), and ISO 10993 series for biocompatibility.

8. The sample size for the training set:

This information is not applicable. The device is a physical product (medical glove), and its performance is evaluated through non-clinical bench testing against established standards, not through training and testing of an AI/ML algorithm.

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

This information is not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the context of this device's non-clinical evaluation.

Dear Lou Kennedy:

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 (the 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 available 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.

H. CLINICAL TESTING SUMMARY

Not applicable - Clinical data is not needed for gloves.

I. CONCLUSION

The conclusions drawn from the non-clinical test demonstrate that the subject device in 510(K) submission K233970, Nephron Nitrile™, Nitrile Powder-Free Examination Blue Gloves (Tested For Use With Chemotherapy Drugs and Fentanyl), is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate device K231349.

§ 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.
