Intended Use
A powder-free 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. These gloves were tested for use with chemotherapy drugs and Fentanyl Citrate per ASTM D6978-05 (Reapproved 2019) Standard Practice for Assessment of Medical Gloves to Permeation by Chemotherapy Drugs.
Device Description
The Nitrile Medical Examination Glove is a non-sterile, single-use, disposable glove intended for medical purposes to be worn on the hands of examiners to prevent contamination between an examiner and the patient. The gloves are made of nitrile butadiene rubber and are white-colored and powder-free. The gloves are offered in one version in a range of sizes: x-small, small, medium, large, and x-large.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device is a medical examination glove, and the summary describes standard physical and chemical testing, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is a medical examination glove, which is a barrier to prevent contamination, not a device designed to treat or alleviate a disease or condition.

No
The device is a medical glove, which is a barrier to prevent contamination, not a tool for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device is a physical glove made of nitrile butadiene rubber, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is a "powder-free patient examination glove" worn on the hand or finger to prevent contamination between the patient and examiner. Its purpose is a physical barrier, not to analyze biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "medical purposes that is worn on the examiner's hand or finger to prevent contamination between patient and examiner." This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Testing: While the gloves are tested for permeation by chemotherapy drugs and Fentanyl, this testing is to ensure the glove's barrier integrity and safety for the user, not to diagnose a condition in a patient.

The information provided consistently describes a medical device used for protection and barrier purposes, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Dear Natalie Vollrath:

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's

1

requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).
