More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use clearly define it as a standard examination glove, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The performance studies focus on physical properties and biocompatibility, not algorithmic performance.

No
The device is described as a medical glove worn for examination purposes to prevent contamination, not to treat or cure a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The device is a patient examination glove, intended to prevent contamination between patient and examiner. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device is a physical glove made of nitrile latex, not software. The description clearly outlines its material, physical properties, and intended use as a barrier worn on the hand.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. These tests are performed outside the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states the device is a "Nitrile Patient Examination glove" intended to be "worn on the examiners' hand or finger to prevent contamination between patient and examiner." This is a barrier device used during patient examination, not a device used to test samples from the patient.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any testing of biological samples, reagents, analytical procedures, or any other elements typically associated with IVD devices.

The device described is a Class I medical device (specifically, a patient examination glove) used for barrier protection during medical examinations.

Dear Mr. Jose Paul M:

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.

10.0 CONCLUSION

The physical performance of the subject device is substantially equivalent to predicate K121947 and will perform according to the glove performance and biocompatibility standards referenced. Based on the intended use, physical properties and technological characteristics, the subject device is as safe, effective and performs as well as the legally marketed predicate device.
