A PATIENT EXAMINATION GLOVE IS A DISPOSABLE DEVICE INTENDED FOR MEDICAL PURPOSE THAT IS WORN ON THE EXAMINER'S HAND OR FINGERS TO PREVENT CONTAMINATION BETWEEN PATIENT AND EXAMINER.

Device Description

DISPOSABLE POWDERED VINYL SYNTHETIC EXAM GLOVES, WHITE COLOR

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) premarket notification letter from the FDA regarding "Disposable Powdered Vinyl Synthetic Exam Gloves, White Color." This document does not describe a study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the way that an AI/ML medical device submission would.

Instead, this letter is a determination of "substantial equivalence" to a legally marketed predicate device, meaning the gloves are considered safe and effective for their intended use because they are similar to existing devices already on the market.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information as the document does not contain details about:

  • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
  • Sample sizes, data provenance, number of experts, or adjudication methods for a test set.
  • Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness studies.
  • Standalone algorithm performance.
  • Type of ground truth used.
  • Sample size for a training set or how ground truth for training was established.

The "Indications For Use" section (page {2}) simply states the intended purpose of the gloves: "A PATIENT EXAMINATION GLOVE IS A DISPOSABLE DEVICE INTENDED FOR MEDICAL PURPOSE THAT IS WORN ON THE EXAMINER'S HAND OR FINGERS TO PREVENT CONTAMINATION BETWEEN PATIENT AND EXAMINER." This is not an acceptance criterion in the context of an AI/ML device study.

Dear Ms. Deng:

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.

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 vour device to proceed to the market.
