No
The 510(k) summary describes a standard medical glove and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No.
The device description and intended use clearly state it is an examination glove, used to prevent contamination, not to treat a condition or restore a function.

No
Explanation: The device is described as an examination glove used to prevent contamination, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device is described as latex examination gloves, which are a physical product, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the gloves are worn on the hand of healthcare personnel to prevent contamination. This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic function performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the material (Natural Rubber), protein content, and sterility, all of which relate to the physical properties and intended barrier use of the glove.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific substances, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This glove does not fit that description.

Dear Mr. Baskaran:

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.
