No
The device is a standard medical glove and the summary does not mention any AI or ML components.

No.
The device, Blue Nitrile Exam Gloves, is intended to prevent contamination between patient and examiner and is described as a disposable exam glove. It does not perform any therapeutic action.

No

Explanation: The device, Blue Nitrile Exam Gloves, is intended to prevent contamination and does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical product (gloves) and the performance studies are related to material properties and biological evaluation, not software performance.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "worn on the examiner's hands to prevent contamination between patient and examiner." This describes a barrier device used for infection control, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body for the purpose of providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties and standards related to examination gloves (ASTM D6124, ASTM D5151, and ASTM D6319). These standards are relevant to the performance and safety of gloves as a barrier, not to diagnostic testing.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described (biocompatibility testing, powder residue, hole detection, dimensions, and physical properties) are all related to the safety and integrity of the glove as a barrier device. There are no studies related to analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or functions typically associated with IVDs, such as reagents, assays, analytical methods, or the analysis of biological specimens.

In summary, the Blue Nitrile Exam Gloves are classified as a medical device used for barrier protection, not as an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
