No
The device is a simple examination glove and the summary contains no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is described as an examination glove intended to prevent contamination, not to treat a medical condition or restore a bodily function.

No
The device is described as examination gloves, which are used to prevent contamination, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device is described as "Latex Examination Gloves," which are physical hardware devices, not software.

Based on the provided information, the B-Care Powder Free, Latex Examination Gloves are not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is "worn on examiner's hands or finger to prevent contamination between patient and examiner." This describes a barrier device used for protection during physical examination, not a device used to examine specimens in vitro (outside of the body) to diagnose a condition.
  • Definition of IVD: IVDs are devices used to examine specimens such as blood, urine, or tissue, taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The description of the gloves does not align with this definition.
  • Lack of IVD-related information: The provided text does not mention any processes related to analyzing biological samples, chemical reactions, or diagnostic procedures.

Therefore, the B-Care Powder Free, Latex Examination Gloves are classified as a medical device, specifically an examination glove, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Phanphiphat:

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 Eederal Register.

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.

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.
