No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and biocompatibility of a medical glove, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

No
The device is a medical glove intended for contamination prevention, not for treating or preventing disease in a patient.

No
The device is a medical glove intended for contamination prevention, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device is a physical medical glove, not a software application. The description focuses on the material properties and performance of the glove.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as preventing contamination between healthcare personnel and the patient by being worn on the hands. This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic function performed in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties and biocompatibility of the glove, which are relevant to its barrier function and safety for contact with skin. There is no mention of any components or mechanisms for analyzing samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting specific analytes or markers
    • Providing diagnostic results or information about a patient's health status
    • Use in a laboratory setting for diagnostic testing

The device is a medical glove, which is a Class I medical device intended for barrier protection.
