More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and biocompatibility of a medical examination glove, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device prevents contamination but is not described as treating or curing any medical condition.

No
The device is a medical examination glove, used to prevent contamination, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device is a physical medical examination glove, not a software application. The description clearly states it is a "disposable device intended for medical purposes; that is worn on the examiner's hand".

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

Here's why:

  • Definition of IVD: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue that have been taken from the human body to detect diseases or other conditions.
  • Intended Use: The intended use of the N-DEX® NightHawk® Black Nitrile Powder-Free Medical Examination Glove is to be worn on the examiner's hand to prevent contamination between the patient and examiner. This is a physical barrier device, not a test performed on a sample.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a disposable device worn on the hand for contamination prevention.
  • Lack of IVD characteristics: The document does not mention any analysis of biological samples, diagnostic testing, or any of the typical components or processes associated with IVDs.

The device is clearly described as a medical examination glove, which falls under a different regulatory classification than IVDs.

Dear Mr. Dow:

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 cither 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 linding 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 Conter for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115.
