Intended Use
A patient examination glove is a disposable device intended for medical purposes that is worn on the examiner's hands or fingers to prevent contamination between patient and examiner. These gloves were tested for use with chemotherapy drugs in accordance with ASTM D6978-05 Standard Practice for Assessment of Medical Glove to Permeation by chemotherapy drugs.
Device Description
The SHOWA® Blue Nitrile Powder Free Medical Examination Glove is a single use, disposable device made from a Nitrile Butadiene Rubber, blue in color, powder free and non-sterile (per 21 CFR Part 880.6250, class I). The device meets all the specifications in ASTM D6319-10. Standard specification for Nitrile Examination Gloves. Additionally, the gloves have been tested for biocompatibility and permeability to chemotherapy drugs. The SHOWA® Blue Nitrile Powder Free Medical Examination Glove is designed to be used for medical purposes to be worn on the examiner's hands or fingers to prevent contamination between the patient and the examiner (product code LZA). In addition, these gloves were tested for use with chemotherapy drugs (product code LZC) in accordance with ASTM D6978-05 Standard Practice for Assessment of Medical Glove to Permeation by chemotherapy drugs.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a standard medical examination glove and its physical properties and 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 that applies therapy or treatment to a patient.

No

The device is a patient examination glove, intended to prevent contamination between patient and examiner and for protection against chemotherapy drugs. It is not designed to diagnose any medical condition.

No

The device is a physical glove made of Nitrile Butadiene Rubber, clearly described as a disposable hardware product.

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

Here's why:

  • Definition of IVD: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Intended Use: The intended use of this device is clearly stated as a "disposable device intended for medical purposes that is worn on the examiner's hands or fingers to prevent contamination between patient and examiner." This is a barrier device, not a device used to analyze specimens.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties of the glove (material, color, powder-free, non-sterile) and its function as a barrier.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information. The testing performed (biocompatibility, chemotherapy drug permeation) relates to the glove's protective function, not its diagnostic capability.

This device is a medical glove, specifically a patient examination glove, which falls under a different regulatory classification than IVDs.

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

No clinical testing was performed.

Nonclinical testing was performed based on the following standards:

  • ASTM D6319-10 for accurate sizing, tensile conforming properties, and glove integrity (Freedom from Holes and Residual powder). All tests passed.
  • ISO 10993-10 for Primary Skin Irritation Test and Dermal Sensitization Assay (Biocompatibility: Skin irritation and sensitivity). Both tests passed, indicating not a primary skin irritant or contact sensitizer.
  • ISO 10993-11 for Acute Systemic toxicity Study (Biocompatibility: acute systemic toxicity). The test passed, indicating not toxic under the conditions.
  • AAMI 11737-1 for Open box testing (Demonstrate acceptable open box bioburden). The test passed.
  • ASTM D6978-5 (2013) for Resistance against Chemotherapy Drugs. 26 out of 29 tested chemotherapy drugs showed a breakthrough greater than 240 minutes. Carmustine showed a breakthrough at 73.7 minutes, and ThioTepa at 25.4 minutes. Warning: Do not use with Carmustine or ThioTepa.

Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)

  • Tensile Strength (MPa): 14 min (Before and After Aging)

Dear Jeffrey Richardson:

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 requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part

1

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 (QS) 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).
