More Information

Not Found

No
The device is a simple examination glove and the summary contains no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies.

No
The device is described as an examination glove intended to prevent contamination between patient and examiner, not to treat or diagnose a medical condition.

No
Explanation: A diagnostic device is used to identify a disease, condition, or injury. This device, a nitrile examination glove, is intended to prevent contamination between the patient and examiner, which is a protective function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device is a physical product (gloves) and the description focuses on material properties and performance testing related to a physical barrier, not software functionality.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to diagnose, monitor, or screen for health issues.
  • Device Intended Use: The intended use of the Purism Non-sterile Powder Free Nitrile Examination Gloves is to be worn on the examiner's hand to prevent contamination between patient and examiner. This is a barrier device used for protection, not a test performed on a sample from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical characteristics of the gloves (material, color, size, etc.), which are consistent with a protective barrier device, not an IVD.

The information provided clearly indicates that this device is a medical glove used for barrier protection, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

Dear Natalya Valerio:

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.

1

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 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.

Both the Purism Non-sterile Powder Free Nitrile Examination Gloves and predicate Blue Nitrile Exam Glove, Powder Free are disposable, single use, non-sterile, powder free gloves intended for medical purposes to be worn on the examiner's hand to prevent contamination between patient and examiner.

Both gloves are similar in color, design and sizes. Both gloves are made of nitrile compound.

The only difference was in cytotoxicity test results where the Purism Non-sterile Powder Free Nitrile Examination Gloves showed cytotoxic properties under the conditions of the study. However, additional acute systemic toxicity testing performed under the ISO 10993-11:2017 supported the subject device was not systemically toxic. The results of primary skin irritation and dermal sensitization tests under the ISO 10993-10:2010 standard indicated the subject device was not an irritant or skin sensitizer.
