Intended Use

A Sterile Latex Surgical Gloves Powder Free is a device made of natural rubber intended to be worn by operating room personnel to protect a surgical wound from contamination.

Device Description

The proposed device, Sterile Latex Surgical Gloves Powder Free is a sterile and disposable medical glove intended to be worn by operating room personnel to protect a surgical wound from contamination. The proposed device is made of natural rubber latex, as per standard ASTM D3577 -09(2015), Standard Specification for Rubber Surgical Gloves. The classification is: Type I - gloves compounded primarily from natural rubber latex. The proposed device is Sterile Latex Surgical Gloves Powder Free, and variants of different sizes. All variants share the same natural color (No color is added). The proposed device is sterilized using Gamma method to achieve the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10 and place in a sterility maintained package to ensure a shelf life of 3 years.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for a medical device: "Sterile Latex Surgical Gloves powder free." This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to an existing predicate device, rather than proving the device meets clinical acceptance criteria for an AI/ML medical device. Therefore, many of the requested points related to AI/ML study design (e.g., sample size for test set, number of experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, ground truth for training set) are not applicable to this type of submission.

However, the document does contain information about performance testing against established standards, which serve as the acceptance criteria for this specific device.

Here's an analysis of the provided information, addressing the relevant points and noting those that are not applicable:

§ 878.4460 Non-powdered surgeon's glove.

(a)
Identification. A non-powdered surgeon's glove is a device intended to be worn on the hands of operating room personnel to protect a surgical wound from contamination. A non-powdered surgeon's glove does not incorporate powder for purposes other than manufacturing. The final finished glove includes only residual powder from manufacturing.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls).
