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

No
The device is a glove intended to prevent contamination, not to treat or diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device is an examination glove intended to prevent contamination between healthcare personnel and patients, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device is a physical examination glove made of nitrile rubber, 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 "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 derived from the human body for the purpose of providing information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease or condition.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the material (nitrile rubber), color, and powder-free nature of the glove, and its equivalence to a Class 1 patient examination glove. This aligns with a medical device used for examination and protection, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information. The performance studies focus on the physical properties and biocompatibility of the glove, not its ability to perform an in vitro diagnostic test.

Therefore, this device is a medical device (specifically, a patient examination glove) but not an IVD.
