No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and biocompatibility of examination gloves, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device description indicates it is an examination glove worn to prevent contamination between patient and examiner, which is a barrier function, not a therapeutic intervention.

No
The device is described as an examination glove intended to prevent contamination, not to diagnose any condition. The "Intended Use" and "Device Description" sections clearly state its purpose for protection and hygiene, with no mention of diagnostic capabilities.

No

The device is a physical examination glove, not a software application. The description focuses on the physical properties and performance of the glove.

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 a "patient examination glove" worn on the hand to prevent contamination between patient and examiner. This is a barrier device for physical protection.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces the intended use as a disposable glove for healthcare personnel to prevent contamination. The technological characteristics listed relate to the physical properties of the glove (dimensions, physical properties, freedom from pinholes, powder-free).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not interact with or analyze such specimens.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described focus on the physical properties and biocompatibility of the glove, not on the analysis of biological samples.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device used for barrier protection, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Wolfe:

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. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4618. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
