Intended Use

The patient examination glove is a disposable device intended for medical purposes that is worn on the examiner's hand or finger to prevent contamination between patient and examiner.

Device Description

The Powder Free Latex Examination Gloves, Non Sterile with Protein Content Labeling Claim (50 Micrograms or less) meets all the requirements of ASTM standard D 3578 -- 01a"22 and FDA 21.CFR 800.20.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and study for the "Powder Free Latex Examination Gloves, Non Sterile with Protein Content Labeling Claim (50 Micrograms or less)":

It's important to note that this 510(k) summary is for a medical device (gloves), not an AI algorithm. Therefore, many of the typical questions related to AI studies (like sample size for test sets, ground truth establishment by experts, MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance, or training set details) are not applicable or not provided in this type of submission.

The document primarily focuses on demonstrating that the gloves meet established industry standards and regulatory requirements.


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

CharacteristicsStandard / Acceptance Criteria LocationDevice Performance
DimensionsASTM D 3578 01aE2Meets
Physical PropertiesASTM D 3578 01aE2Meets
Freedom from pinholesASTM D 3578 - 01aE2 & FDA 21 CFR 800.20Meets (implicitly, as it states it meets standards and FDA requirements for water leak test on pinhole AQL)
Powder-FreeASTM D 6124 01< 2 mg/glove
Protein LevelASTM D 5712 95< 50 μg/g
Biocompatibility: - Primary Skin Irritation - Dermal SensitizationPrimary Skin Irritation in Rabbits Dermal SensitizationPasses (Not a primary skin irritant) Passes (Not a contact sensitizer)

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly stated. For medical devices like gloves, testing is typically done on batches, and samples are drawn from these batches according to industrial standards (e.g., AQL levels for pinholes). The document refers to meeting ASTM standards, which would implicitly define the sampling methods and sizes.
  • Data Provenance: Not specified, but likely from internal testing conducted by WRP Specialty Products Sdn Bhd in Malaysia, given the submitter's location. The biocompatibility tests would generally be conducted by specialized laboratories.
  • Retrospective or Prospective: Not applicable in the context of device performance testing against standards. The tests are performed on newly manufactured devices.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

  • Not Applicable. For medical devices like gloves, "ground truth" is defined by established scientific and engineering standards (e.g., ASTM standards for glove properties, FDA regulations for pinholes, established biological assays for biocompatibility). There isn't a panel of clinical experts establishing ground truth in the same way they would for diagnostic imaging.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

  • Not Applicable. Performance is assessed against quantitative metrics and established pass/fail criteria from the standards, not through adjudication by multiple human observers.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

  • No. This is not relevant for the assessment of a medical device like examination gloves. MRMC studies are typically for diagnostic AI algorithms where human interpretation is involved.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:

  • Not Applicable. This is not an AI algorithm; it's a physical medical device.

7. The type of ground truth used:

  • The "ground truth" is based on established industry standards and regulatory requirements.
    • ASTM D 3578 01aE2: Standard Specification for Rubber Examination Gloves.
    • FDA 21 CFR 800.20: Regulations for pinhole testing (water leak test).
    • ASTM D 6124 01: Standard Test Method for Residual Powder on Medical Gloves.
    • ASTM D 5712 95: Standard Test Method for Analysis of Aqueous Extractable Protein in Latex and Natural Rubber Products Using the Modified Lowry Method.
    • Biocompatibility Standards: Referring to tests for Primary Skin Irritation and Dermal Sensitization (typically conducted following ISO 10993 series or equivalent guidelines).

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • Not Applicable. This is a physical device, not a machine learning model, so there is no training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

  • Not Applicable. As there is no training set for this device.
