No
The summary describes a glove for preventing contamination and contains no mention of AI, ML, or related technologies.

No
The device, a glove, is intended to prevent contamination between healthcare personnel and patients. Its purpose is protective and preventative, not to diagnose, treat, or mitigate a disease or condition, which are characteristic functions of a therapeutic device.

No
The device, a glove worn by healthcare workers, is described for preventing contamination, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device is described as a glove, which is a physical hardware component, 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 prevent contamination between healthcare personnel and the patient's body, fluids, waste, or environment. This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body) on specimens.
  • Device Description: While "Not Found" is listed, the intended use clearly describes a physical barrier (a glove).
  • No Mention of Diagnostic Testing: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information.
  • No Mention of IVD-Specific Elements: The description lacks any elements typically associated with IVDs, such as reagents, calibrators, controls, or analytical procedures.

Therefore, this device, a glove used for barrier protection, falls under the category of a medical device, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
