More Information

Not Found

No
The device is a sterile latex examination glove, and the description focuses on material properties and regulatory compliance, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device, examination gloves, is intended to prevent contamination between patient and examiner, not to treat or cure a disease or condition.

No

The device is described as examination gloves, intended to prevent contamination between patient and examiner, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device is a physical product (gloves) and not software. The 510(k) describes a change in labeling for a physical medical device.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as "a disposable device intended for medical purposes that is worn on the examiner's hand or finger to prevent contamination between patient and examiner." This describes a barrier device used for protection, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties and labeling of the gloves, not on any diagnostic function.
  • Lack of IVD characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any process related to in vitro testing.

Therefore, this device is a medical glove, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
