Intended Use

The Gammex(R) Cut Resistant Glove Liner is a single use glove liner intended to provide ANSI/ISEA 105 Cut Level Protection 2 against cuts when used with an inner and outer surgical glove. The glove liner should be worn between two surgical gloves.

Device Description

Cut resistant under glove liner is a white color liner knitted from an ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fiber (UHMWPE) that offers ANSI/ISEA 105 Cut Level Protection against cuts. The liner is knitted using the UHMWPE as the main strengthening component along with nylon and spandex for comfort. The device is a single use device.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text does not describe an AI/ML powered medical device. Instead, it is an FDA 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called "Gammex® Cut Resistant Glove Liner."

Therefore, it is not possible to answer the request based on the provided document as the questions are specific to the acceptance criteria and study design for an AI/ML powered device.

The document focuses on demonstrating that a cut-resistant glove liner is "substantially equivalent" to a legally marketed predicate device, primarily through performance data against standards (e.g., ANSI/ISEA 105 for cut level, ISO 10993 for biocompatibility) rather than clinical studies or AI model performance.

Dear Mr. Mahler:

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.

The glove to be worn between two surgical glove inner and outer as a under glove.

The glove is manufactured from similar type materials to provide equivalent material, color, design, cuff feature and cut level performance as the predicate. The sterilization process though differs but achieves the required sterility. Biocompatibility was done on the subject device to show that the product was not cytotoxic, an irritant or a sensitizer consistent with the ISO 10993 series of standards.

Performance Data

A clinical study was not conducted on the subject device or the predicate device.

Substantial Equivalence Statement

The Gammex® Cut Resistant Glove Liner is substantially equivalent to the predicate device with respect to the design, technological characteristics, and conformance to standards requirements. The device differs from the predicate in that it is a single use device.
