Device Description

LaGlove™ Brand Double Polymer Coated Nitrile Examination Gloves (Powder Free - Blue Color)

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from the FDA for medical gloves. It does not contain any information about a study that proves a device meets acceptance criteria in the way you've described for AI/medical imaging devices.

The document is a regulatory approval for "LaGlove™ Brand Double Polymer Coated Nitrile Examination Gloves (Powder Free-Blue Color)", establishing its substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices. This type of regulatory submission for Class I medical devices like examination gloves primarily focuses on:

  • Manufacturing standards: Ensuring the gloves are produced under good manufacturing practices.
  • Material safety: Demonstrating the materials used are safe for patient contact.
  • Performance specifications: Meeting established physical properties for gloves (e.g., tensile strength, puncture resistance, freedom from holes).

The details you've requested (such as sample size for test sets, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training set details, etc.) are typical for the evaluation of diagnostic devices, especially those utilizing AI or complex algorithms for image analysis or disease detection.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information based on the provided text because it is not relevant to the type of device and regulatory submission discussed.

To reiterate, this document is a letter from the FDA granting clearance for a physical medical device (examination gloves), not a report on a clinical or performance study involving complex data analysis or AI.

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.

{1}------------------------------------------------

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 (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html
