NON-STERILE, POWDER-FREE, PINK LATEX EXAMINATION GLOVES, WITH AND/OR WITHOUT STRAWBERRY SCENT, AND WITH PROTEIN CONTENT LABELING CLAIM (50 Micrograms or Less)
This document is a 510(k) premarket notification acceptance letter for latex examination gloves, not a study describing the acceptance criteria and performance of a device. Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information like sample sizes, expert qualifications, or details about comparative effectiveness studies.
The document indicates that the device is "substantially equivalent" to legally marketed predicate devices, meaning it does not require a new premarket approval application (PMA). The notification simply states the "Indications for Use" for the gloves:
Indications for Use:
"A NON-STERILE, POWDER-FREE, PINK LATEX EXAMINATION GLOVE WITH AND/OR WITHOUT STRAWBERRY SCENT, AND WITH PROTEIN LABELING CLAIM (50 micrograms or less) 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 type of document does not contain the specific performance metrics or study details you are asking for. It's an administrative approval based on demonstrating equivalence, not a detailed report of a study validating acceptance criteria.
