No
The 510(k) summary describes a surgical glove, a physical barrier device, and contains no mention of AI or ML technology.

No
A surgeon's glove is intended to provide a barrier against contaminants and is not used for treating or diagnosing a medical condition.

No
The device is described as a surgical glove, intended to provide a barrier against infectious materials. Its function is protective, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Synthetic Powder-Free Surgical Glove," which is a physical hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is a "powder-free surgeon's glove" intended to be "worn on the hands... to provide a barrier against potentially infectious materials and other contaminants." This describes a physical barrier device used on the body, not a device used to examine specimens taken from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in those samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment based on sample analysis.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is "hands," which is where the device is worn, not where a sample is taken from for analysis.

Therefore, the Elastyfree™ Synthetic Powder-Free Surgical Glove is a medical device, but it falls under a different classification than an In Vitro Diagnostic.
