No
A medical glove is intended to prevent contamination, not to treat a disease or condition.

No
The device, a medical glove, is intended to prevent contamination between healthcare personnel and patients, which is a protective function, not a diagnostic one. It does not gather or analyze data for the purpose of identifying a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Powdered Synthetic Vinyl Patient Examination Gloves," which is a physical hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to prevent contamination between healthcare personnel and patients by being worn on the hand. This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description is of a physical glove, not a reagent, instrument, or kit used for testing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document lacks any mention of:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health status. A medical glove does not fit this description.

Dear Mr. Chen:

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 your device to proceed to the market.
