Syntex Powder-Free Latex Examination Gloves - Blue Color. A powder-free patient examination glove is a disposable device made of natural rubber latex that may bear a trace amount of glove powder.
The provided text is a scanned FDA 510(k) clearance letter for "Syntex Powder-Free Latex Examination Gloves". This document pertains to the regulatory clearance of a medical device based on substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than a study proving performance against specific acceptance criteria.
The letter explicitly states: "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..."
Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria, reported device performance, study details (sample size, data provenance, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance), or information about training sets for an AI/algorithm-based device.
The questions are designed for a scenario where an AI or algorithm-based device undergoes performance evaluation and validation, which is not the subject of this 510(k) clearance for a physical medical product like examination gloves.
