Intended Use
The Disposable Medical Nitrile Examination Glove is intended for medical purposes that is worn on the examiner's hands to prevent contamination between patient and examiner.
Device Description
The subject device is powder free nitrile examination gloves. The subject device is blue. The subject device is non-sterile.
More Information

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

No
The device, a disposable nitrile examination glove, is intended to prevent contamination between patient and examiner, not to treat or alleviate a disease or condition.

No
The device is a medical glove intended to prevent contamination, not to diagnose any condition.

No

The device description clearly states the device is a physical product (nitrile examination gloves) and the performance studies focus on physical and biological properties, 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 clearly stated as being worn on the examiner's hands to prevent contamination between patient and examiner. This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description is of a physical barrier (a glove).
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical properties of the glove (freedom from holes, dimensions, aging) and biological compatibility (cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization, systemic toxicity), which are relevant for a medical device worn on the body, but not for an IVD.
  • No Mention of Diagnostic Metrics: There are no mentions of metrics like sensitivity, specificity, PPV, or NPV, which are standard for evaluating the performance of diagnostic tests.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This glove does not fit that description.

Dear Helen Nan:

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 and Part 809); 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). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.
