Intended Use
Disposable device intended for medical purpose that is worn on the examiner's hand or finger to prevent contamination between patient and examiner.
Device Description
Nitrile Examination Gloves Powder Free (Blue) are available in blue color. The proposed device is single use, non-sterile, ambidextrous and meets all the requirements of ASTM Specification D6319-10 (2015) — Standard Specification for Nitrile Examination Gloves for Medical Application.
More Information

No
The device is a physical product (examination gloves) and the description and testing focus on material properties and physical performance, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing.

No
The device, Nitrile Examination Gloves, is intended to prevent contamination between patient and examiner, serving as a barrier, not to treat or mitigate a disease or condition.

No
The device is described as examination gloves used to prevent contamination, not to diagnose any condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical product (nitrile examination gloves) and the performance studies focus on physical properties and material standards, not software functionality.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to prevent contamination between patient and examiner by being worn on the hand or finger. This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as examination gloves, which are a physical barrier.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide information about a patient's health status or condition.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical properties of the gloves (strength, elongation, freedom of holes, etc.), which are relevant to their barrier function, not diagnostic accuracy.
  • No Mention of IVD-related terms: There are no terms like "assay," "reagent," "analyzer," "sample," or other terms typically associated with IVD devices.

In summary, the device is a medical device intended for barrier protection, not for performing in vitro diagnostic tests.

Dear Soh Li:

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
