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, intended to prevent contamination between healthcare personnel and the patient. It does not provide any therapeutic benefit.

No
Explanation: The device is an examination glove, used to prevent contamination, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device is a physical examination glove made of nitrile rubber, not a software application.

No, 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 protection, not a device used to examine specimens taken from the human body for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the material (nitrile rubber), color, and adherence to a standard for examination gloves. There is no mention of reagents, calibrators, controls, or any components typically associated with IVD tests.
  • Lack of IVD-related information: The document lacks any information related to:
    • Specimen types: What biological samples would be tested?
    • Analytes: What substances would be measured or detected?
    • Test principles: How would the test work?
    • Performance characteristics relevant to diagnosis: Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy in detecting a condition.

The device described is a Class I medical device (as indicated by the predicate device information and product code 80LZA, which falls under 21 CFR 880.6250 for patient examination gloves). These are devices with low risk and are not used for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Dear Mr. Shee:

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.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
