No
The device, a surgeon's glove, is intended to provide a barrier against contamination, not to treat or cure a disease or condition.

No
Gloves are barrier devices, not diagnostic ones. Their purpose is to prevent contamination, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical product (gloves) made of natural latex, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide a barrier on the hands in surgical settings. This is a physical barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological specimens.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a glove, a physical barrier device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This glove does not perform any such function.

Dear Mr. Abraham:

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 (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. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
