More Information

The provided text does not contain K/DEN numbers for the predicate devices.

Not Found

No
The document describes standard surgical gloves and their performance characteristics, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

No
The device, surgical gloves, is intended to protect healthcare personnel and prevent contamination, not to treat or diagnose a medical condition in a patient.

No
The provided text describes surgical gloves intended to protect surgical wounds from contamination and does not mention any function related to diagnosing diseases or conditions.

No

The device is described as physical gloves made of synthetic rubber latex, intended for use in surgical procedures. The description and performance studies focus on material properties and barrier function, not software functionality.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the gloves are for protecting a surgical wound from contamination and for use during medical procedures. This is a barrier function for the user and the patient, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description details the material and form of the gloves, which are physical barriers.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical properties of the gloves (irritation, sensitization, strength, barrier integrity, powder level), which are relevant to their function as a protective barrier, not as a diagnostic tool.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Summary of Performance Studies

Substantial Equivalence: Powder-Free Surgical Gloves are substantially equivalent to Duraprene Powder-Free Sterile Synthetic Surgical Gloves in that they provide the following characteristics: - same intended use, - same sizes, product features, packaging, - both made of Synthetic Rubber Latex using similar manufacturing process; Summary of Testing: Intracutaneous Reactivity: Gloves show no irritation. Guinea Pig Maximization: Gloves do not display any potential for sensitization. Ultimate Elongation & Tensile Strength: Gloves exceed requirements for rubber surgical gloves per ASTM D3577-00. Barrier Defects: Gloves exceed requirements per 21 CFR §800.20 and ASTM D3577-00, AQL = 1.5. Powder Level: Gloves meet powder level requirements for "Powder Free" designation using ASTM Standard D6124-97-Standard test method for residual powder on medical gloves. Results generated values below 2 mg of residual powder per glove.
