Intended Use

The Biogel® PI Micro Surgical Glove is a disposable device made of Poly-Isoprene material that is intended to be worn on the hands, usually in surgical setting, to provide a barrier against potentially infectious material and other contaminants.

Device Description

The subiect device is a single-use disposable powder-free surgical glove that is supplied sterile and made from synthetic Poly-Isoprene material (not made from natural rubber latex). The gloves are manufactured using hand-specific molds (right and left hand). Each glove contains a beaded cuff to help reduce cuff roll-down during use.

AI/ML Overview

The document describes the Biogel® PI Micro Surgical Glove, a disposable, powder-free surgical glove made from synthetic Poly-Isoprene material. This device is a modification of the previously cleared Biogel® PI Surgical Glove (K050184), with changes in material thickness and the removal of a donning coating.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information provided:

Powder residualASTM D3577 (≤ 2.0 mg/glove)Glove meets powder level requirements for "Powder-free" designation (results generated values below 2 mg of residual powder per glove).

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

The document specifies standards and tests (e.g., ISO 10993-10, ASTM D3577, ASTM D5151, ASTM D6124) were used to demonstrate performance. However, the specific sample sizes used for each test are not explicitly stated within this document. The data provenance is also not specified (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective).

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

This section is not applicable as the document describes performance testing based on engineering and material science standards (e.g., biocompatibility testing, physical properties, freedom from holes, powder residual), not on subjective expert assessment of an AI's output.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

This section is not applicable for the same reasons as #3. The performance is objectively measured against established standards.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

This section is not applicable. This document describes a medical device (surgical glove) that functions as a physical barrier. It is not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool, therefore, MRMC studies involving human readers or AI assistance are irrelevant.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

This section is not applicable. This is a physical device, not an algorithm. The performance tests evaluate the glove itself.

7. The type of ground truth used

The ground truth for the performance evaluations are established by widely accepted international and national standards for medical devices and surgical gloves. Specifically:

  • Biocompatibility: ISO 10993-10
  • Dimensions & Physical Properties: ASTM D3577
  • Freedom from holes: 21 CFR 800.20 and ASTM D3577, tested according to ASTM D5151
  • Powder residual: ASTM D3577, tested using ASTM standard D6124

These standards define the acceptable range or threshold for each characteristic.

8. The sample size for the training set

This section is not applicable. This is a physical device, not a machine learning model, so there is no "training set."

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

This section is not applicable for the same reasons as #8.

Reason for 510(k) Submission:

This 510(k) supports a design modification made to the Biogel® PI Surgical Glove (reference code 408) that was previously cleared through 510(k) K050184. The design modifications consist of a reduction in material thickness from 0.62 + 0.06 mm to 0.42 + 0.04 mm and the removal of the donning coating. In order to commercially distinguish the modified version from the original glove, the modified glove is branded under the trade name Biogel® PI Micro Surgical Glove, reference code 485, and the original glove remains branded under the trade name Biogel PI Surgical Glove, reference code 408.

Description of Device:

The subiect device is a single-use disposable powder-free surgical glove that is supplied sterile and made from synthetic Poly-Isoprene material (not made from natural rubber latex). The gloves are manufactured using hand-specific molds (right and left hand). Each glove contains a beaded cuff to help reduce cuff roll-down during use.

Intended Use/Indication for Use:

The Biogel® PI Micro Surgical Glove is a disposable device made of Poly-Isoprene material that is intended to be worn on the hands, usually in surgical setting, to provide a barrier against potentially infectious materials and other contaminants.

Technological Characteristics:

Biogel® PI Micro Surgical Gloves were produced as a result of modifications made to the existing Biogel® PI Gloves that were previously cleared through 510(k) K050184. The gloves that were produced through these device modifications remain substantially equivalent in terms of technological characteristics, material formulation and intended use. The most notable technological differences between the subject and predicate Biogel® gloves are material thickness and donning coating. These technological characteristics and design modifications implemented for the subject device have been assessed and confirmed that the standard requirements that are appropriate for surgical gloves have been met. The following table is a summary of these technological characteristics in relation to standardized requirements.

§ 878.4460 Non-powdered surgeon's glove.

(a)
Identification. A non-powdered surgeon's glove is a device intended to be worn on the hands of operating room personnel to protect a surgical wound from contamination. A non-powdered surgeon's glove does not incorporate powder for purposes other than manufacturing. The final finished glove includes only residual powder from manufacturing.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls).
