Intended Use
The Ultra Preserve With Aloe Vera (Green) Examination Glove is "a disposable device intended for medical purposes that is worn on the examiner's hand to prevent contamination between patient and examiner.". (21CFR 880.6250).
Device Description
Natural Rubber Latex films form a barrier to body fluids and bloodborne pathogens. The latex rubber is water tight under normal conditions of use. It's tensile properties cause it to conform to the hand, allowing movements necessary for a medical procedure. Natural Rubber Latex is known to create a barrier to bloodborne pathogens and and body fluids. ASTM conforming tensile properties create a glove that is strong and flexible. The leaching process removes traces of chemical accelerants that may be chemically irritating. The glove is manufactured in accordance with the requirements of ASTM D3578-00 and ASTM D5151-99 requirements.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and barrier function of a latex examination glove, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is an examination glove, which is intended to prevent contamination between patient and examiner, not to treat a disease or condition.

No
The device is described as an "Examination Glove" intended to prevent contamination between patient and examiner, which is a barrier function, not a diagnostic one. No diagnostic capabilities are mentioned in the text.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical glove made of natural rubber latex, which is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's a "disposable device intended for medical purposes that is worn on the examiner's hand to prevent contamination between patient and examiner." This describes a barrier device used for protection during medical examinations.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties of the glove (latex film, barrier to body fluids, tensile properties) and manufacturing standards (ASTM). There is no mention of analyzing samples from the human body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are designed to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This glove does not perform any such analysis.

The device is classified under 21 CFR 880.6250, which is the regulation for Patient examination gloves. This classification is for devices used for barrier protection, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Dear Mr. Perrella:

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.
