More Information

Not Found

No
The device is a patient examination glove, a simple barrier device with no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities. The description focuses on material properties and performance standards.

No
The device is a patient examination glove, which is intended to prevent contamination between patient and examiner. It is not designed to treat or diagnose a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The "Intended Use" section clearly states that the device is a "patient examination glove...to prevent contamination between patient and examiner." This describes a barrier device, not a device used to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device is a physical patient examination glove, not a software-only medical device. The description clearly outlines a hardware product and its physical testing.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is a "disposable device intended for medical purposes that is worn on the examiner's hand or finger to prevent contamination between patient and examiner." This describes a barrier device for personal protection and infection control, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body for the purpose of providing information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of disease.
  • Device Description: The classification as a "Patient Examination Glove" under 21 CFR 880.6250 further confirms its purpose as a physical barrier.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing diagnostic information
    • Using reagents or assays

The information provided describes a medical device used for protection during patient examination, which falls under the category of general medical devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The standards used for Shijiazhuang Tillotson Rubber Products Co., Ltd. glove production are based on ASTM D 3578-01aE2. All testing meets requirements for Physical and Dimensions Testing conducted on gloves, Inspection Level S-2, AQL 4.0. The "Maximum Fill" Water Fill Test was also conducted with samplings of AQL 2.5, Inspection Level G-1, meeting these requirements. Primary Skin irritation and Skin Sensitization (allergic contact dermatitis) testing was conducted with results showing no primary skin irritant or sensitization reactions. A Residual Powder Test that based on ASTM D6124-01 for Starch at finished inspection is conducted to insure that our gloves meet our "powder-free" claims (contain no more than 2 mg powder per glove).
