Intended Use
An Examination glove is a disposable device intended for medical purposes that is worn on the examiner's hand or finger, to prevent contamination between the patient and examiner.
Device Description
The device is a glove with five fingers made from natural rubber that covers the hand on both sides up to the wrist, using a dip technology manufacturing process. The gloves are ambidextrous and therefore can be donned on either hand. The gloves are non sterile and for single use only, to be discarded after each examination is complete. The glove acts as a barrier between the examiner and the subject being examined in order to prevent contamination between the examiner and the subject.
More Information

Not Found

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 between a patient and examiner, acting as a barrier. It does not provide any therapeutic function like treating, diagnosing, or mitigating a disease.

No

Explanation: The device is an examination glove, which acts as a barrier to prevent contamination between the examiner and the patient. It is not intended to diagnose medical conditions or provide diagnostic information.

No

The device description clearly states it is a glove made from natural rubber, which is a physical hardware component. The summary focuses on the physical properties and performance of the glove as a barrier.

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 the patient and examiner." This describes a barrier device for physical protection, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces the function as a physical barrier (glove).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description and performance metrics focus on physical properties, barrier function, and biocompatibility. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.
  • Predicate Device: The predicate device is also an examination glove, further indicating the device's classification as a general medical device, not an IVD.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples like blood, urine, tissue, etc., to diagnose diseases or conditions. This examination glove does not perform such tests.

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

The device meets all the applicable technical requirements of ASTM D3578 Version 2010 for standard specifications for rubber examination gloves, ASTM D5712 Version 2010 for analysis of aqueous extractable protein, ASTM D6124 Version 2006 for residual powder, ASTM D412 Version 06ae2 for vulcanized rubber and thermoplastic elastomers-tension, ASTM D5151 Version 2006 for detection of holes, and ISO 10993 Version 2010 for biological evaluation (skin irritation and sensitization).
Physical properties such as length, palm width, thickness (finger, palm, cuff), tensile strength (before and after aging), ultimate elongation (before and after aging), powder content, and residual latex proteins were evaluated against ASTM standards. The device showed results within or exceeding the standard requirements. For example, tensile strength before aging was 18 - 31 MPa (Min 14 required), ultimate elongation before aging was 530 - 600% (Min 500 required), and powder content was below 2.0 mg/glove (Max 2.0 required). The device passed biocompatibility tests, not being sensitizers or irritants.

The above are the principal technical standards that the device needs to comply with. The device has substantially enhanced physical properties as compared to those required by ASTM and other relevant standards.

8. Substantial Equivalence

The substantial equivalence to the predicate device is based on non clinical assessment data. A comparison was made of the physical properties and characteristics of both devices for the following attributes, which were found to be substantially similar:

  • a. A glove made from natural or synthetic rubber
  • b. Use and description

c. Physical properties such as, length, width, thickness, tensile strength, freedom from holes, and residual powder. Although the predicate device made from synthetic rubber has no residual natural rubber proteins, the applicant device made of natural rubber complies with the requirements of ASTM D3578 for the maximum allowable residual proteins. The tensile strength and elongation of the applicant device was found to be superior. The thickness of the applicant device was marginally more than the predicate device, but this is normal for latex examination gloves used for medical purposes and it is within the tolerance levels for such devices.

d. Inner coating made from Allogel®

11. Substantial equivalence summary discussion & conclusion

The gloves covered by this application are deemed to be substantially equivalent to the predicate, K110102, Powderfree Nitrile Examination gloves coated with Allogel®. Comparisons between the applicant and this predicate device indicate substantial equivalence, in that both:

    1. Have the same indication of use
    1. Are Powderfree Patient Examination Gloves
    1. Do not show any adverse results in bio compatibility tests
    1. Are non sterile and are sold over the counter
    1. Are coated with Allogel® on the inside
    1. Have similar performance specifications and physical properties
    1. Meet pin hole AQL requirements as per ASTM D5151 version 2006
    1. Are ambidextrous
  1. Are manufactured using a continuous linked chain dip technology with the usage of similar chemicals
    1. Use a primary raw material that has properties of Rubber (natural/synthetic)
    1. Have similar shelf life

The data and explanations provided above, both for the applicate device, illustrates that there are no substantial differences in the use, physical properties and characteristics of the devices. We can therefore conclude that the two devices are substantially equivalent. The applicant devise is therefore as safe, as effective and performs as well as, or better than the predicate device.

Dear Mr. Segat:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
