Powder Free Nitrile Examination Gloves with peppermint flavor
This is a 510(k) premarket notification for "Powder Free Nitrile Examination Gloves with Peppermint Flavor." The document you provided does not contain any information about a study that proves the device meets acceptance criteria.
The context of this document is a regulatory approval, where the FDA has determined the device is "substantially equivalent" to legally marketed predicate devices. This determination is generally based on demonstrating that the new device has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the predicate device, or if it has different technological characteristics, that the new device is as safe and effective as the predicate device and does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
For devices like examination gloves, the "acceptance criteria" and "study" to prove substantial equivalence typically relate to meeting relevant ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards or similar international standards for physical properties (e.g., tensile strength, elongation, barrier integrity like freedom from holes). The document you provided is the FDA's clearance letter and the "Indication for Use" statement, not the detailed testing report.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information from the provided text for the following reasons:
- No acceptance criteria or device performance table: The document does not specify quantitative acceptance criteria (e.g., maximum allowable defect rate, minimum tensile strength) nor does it report the device's performance against such criteria.
- No information on study details: There is no mention of sample size, data provenance, expert involvement, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance, or how ground truth was established for any performance testing. This notification focuses on regulatory clearance, not detailed performance study results.
To fulfill your request for this type of device, a different set of documents would be needed, specifically the test reports included in the 510(k) submission that describe adherence to relevant performance standards for examination gloves.

Dear Mr. Pu:
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.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification.
