No
The device is a standard examination glove and the summary contains no mention of AI or ML technology.

No
The device is an examination glove, which is intended to prevent contamination, not to treat a disease or condition. It is classified as an examination glove (80LZA), which is a Class I medical device.

No

Explanation: The device is a glove, which is a barrier device for medical purposes, not a diagnostic tool. Its purpose is to prevent contamination, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device is a physical examination glove made of nitrile rubber, not software. The description focuses on material properties and performance testing related to a physical product.

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 "worn on the hand of healthcare and similar personnel to prevent contamination between the healthcare personnel and the patient." This describes a barrier device used for personal protection and infection control, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the material (nitrile rubber), color, and compliance with a standard for examination gloves. There is no mention of reagents, calibrators, controls, or any components typically associated with in vitro diagnostic tests.
  • Lack of IVD Keywords: The document does not contain any keywords or phrases commonly associated with IVD devices, such as "in vitro," "specimen," "assay," "test," "diagnosis," "monitoring," or "screening."
  • Predicate Device: The predicate device is a "Class I patient examination glove," which is also not an IVD.

In summary, the device is a medical glove intended for barrier protection, not for performing diagnostic tests on biological samples.

Dear Mr. Woei:

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
