More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and safety of examination gloves, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device prevents contamination between patient and examiner, which is a protective function rather than a therapeutic one. Therapeutic devices are typically used to treat or cure a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The device is a glove, which is used for contamination prevention rather than diagnosing any condition or disease. Its purpose is protective, not analytical.

No

The device is described as physical nitrile examination gloves, which are hardware, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the gloves are "worn on the examiner's hands to prevent contamination between patient and examiner." This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces the barrier function and mentions variations in size and color, which are not characteristics of an IVD.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on physical properties (tensile strength, elongation, pinhole AQL) and biocompatibility (irritation, sensitization), which are relevant to a barrier device, not an IVD.
  • Key Metrics: The key metrics are also related to the physical integrity and safety of the glove as a barrier.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This description of nitrile examination gloves does not fit that definition.

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

Bench tests were conducted to verify that the proposed device met all design specifications as was similar to the predicate device. The test results demonstrated that the proposed device complies with the following standards:

ASTM D6319-15, Standard Specification for Nitrile Examination Gloves for Medical Application. ASTM D5151-06, Standard Test Method for Detection of Holes in Medical Gloves. ASTM D6124-17, Standard Test Method for Residual Powder on Medical Gloves. ISO 10993-10:2010, Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 10: Tests for irritation and skin sensitization.

ISO 10993-5:2009, Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 5: Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity.

The proposed devices with blue colorant did not induce skin irritation and showed no significant evidence of causing skin sensitization.

(a)
Identification. A non-powdered 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. A non-powdered patient examination 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). The device, when it is a finger cot, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 880.9.

Dear Ray Wang:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
