Device Description

Pre-Powdered Nitrile Examination Gloves

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) premarket notification decision letter from the FDA to FLEXITECH SDN. BHD. regarding "Pre-Powdered Nitrile Examination Gloves." This is not a study document that describes acceptance criteria and device performance data.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information from this document. It does not contain details about:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
2. Sample sizes or data provenance for a test set.
3. Number or qualifications of experts for ground truth.
4. Adjudication method.
5. MRMC comparative effectiveness study.
6. Standalone algorithm performance.
7. Type of ground truth used.
8. Sample size for the training set.
9. How ground truth for the training set was established.

This document is primarily an FDA clearance letter for a medical device (nitrile gloves) based on substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than a report detailing performance studies against specific acceptance criteria for an AI/algorithm-based device.
