No
The device is a medical glove and the description focuses on material properties and performance standards, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device, a Powder Free Nitrile Examination Glove, is intended to prevent contamination and is not designed for therapeutic purposes or to treat a disease or condition.

No

This device is described as an examination glove intended to prevent contamination, not to diagnose medical conditions or provide diagnostic information.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical glove made of nitrile, intended to be worn on the hand. There is no mention of software components or functionality.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is "worn on the hand of health care and similar personnel to prevent contamination between the health care personnel and the patient." This describes a barrier device used for protection, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties and standards met by the glove (nitrile material, ASTM standards, color, powder-free). This aligns with a medical device used for protection.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
    • Providing diagnostic information.
    • Using reagents or assays.
    • Any of the typical components or functions of an IVD.

Therefore, based on the provided information, this device is a medical device, specifically an examination glove, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.
