Intended Use
A patient examination glove 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.
Device Description
It is the powder-free variation of the class I latex patient examination gloves made by online polymer-coating and on-line chlorination process. The process modifies the surface characteristics and causes it to remain tack-free without the use of any dusting or donning powder. It is particularly suitable to users who prefer a powder-free work environment or who may be sensitive to the powdered version of the same gloves.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard medical examination glove and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.

No
The intended use of this device is to prevent contamination between patient and examiner, not to treat a medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device is a patient examination glove used to prevent contamination between patient and examiner. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device is a physical medical device (patient examination gloves) and does not involve any software component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the glove is "worn on the examiner's hand or finger to prevent contamination between patient and examiner." This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic function performed in vitro (outside the living body).
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the material, manufacturing process, and features related to its barrier and comfort properties. There is no mention of analyzing samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening
    • Reagents, calibrators, or controls

The device is a medical device, specifically a patient examination glove, but it falls under the category of a barrier device for infection control, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
