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.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the acceptance criteria and the study conducted for a medical device: "Disposable Medical Nitrile Examination Gloves (non-sterile)." This is a Class I medical device, and the study focused on non-clinical tests to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than the types of studies typically performed for AI/ML-based diagnostic devices. Therefore, many of the requested categories are not applicable.

Here's the information extracted from the document:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

TestPurposeAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
ISO 10993-5 Biological evaluation of medical devices Test for in vitro cytotoxicityTo determine the potential cytotoxicity.Non-cytotoxicPass
ISO 10993-11 Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 11: Tests for Systemic ToxicityTo determine the potential systemic toxicity.Does not cause systemic toxicity.Pass
ISO 10993-10 Biological evaluation on medical device Part 10: Test for Irritation and Skin IrritationTo determine the potential for irritation and skin irritation.Non-irritant, and Non skin irritant.Pass
ISO 10993-10 Biological evaluation on medical device Part 10: Test Skin SensitizationTo determine the potential skin sensitization.Does not cause skin sensitization.Pass
ASTM D6319 Standard Specification for Nitrile Examination Gloves for Medical ApplicationTo test for: (1) freedom from holes (2) physical dimensions (3) Aging(1) Shall not leak (2) For size L (mm): Width: 110 ± 10, Length: ≥ 230, Finger and palm thickness: median value ≥ 0.05 (3) After Aging: Tensile Strength: ≥ 14 MPa, Ultimate elongation: ≥400%Pass

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

The document does not specify a "test set" in the context of data for an AI/ML device. The tests performed are for medical gloves and involve physical and biological property assessments, not analysis of data from patients or images. The provenance of the samples (e.g., country of origin for the gloves tested) is not specified beyond the manufacturer's location (China). These were non-clinical tests.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

Not applicable. The ground truth for the physical and biological properties of the gloves is established by standardized testing protocols (ISO, ASTM) and measurements, not by expert interpretation of data relevant to AI/ML.

4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable. As noted above, the tests are for physical and biological properties of gloves, not for AI/ML performance requiring adjudication of interpretations.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, if so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

Not applicable. This device is a medical glove, not an AI-based diagnostic tool. No MRMC study was conducted.

6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Not applicable. This device is a medical glove, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

The ground truth for the non-clinical tests is based on objective measurements and established standards for material properties (e.g., tensile strength, elongation), dimensional specifications (e.g., length, width, thickness), and biocompatibility assays (e.g., cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization, systemic toxicity).

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This device does not involve an AI/ML algorithm requiring a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable. This device does not involve an AI/ML algorithm.

§ 880.6250 Non-powdered patient examination glove.

(a)
Identification. A non-powdered patient examination glove is a disposable device intended for medical purposes that is worn on the examiner's hand or finger to prevent contamination between patient and examiner. A non-powdered patient examination 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). The device, when it is a finger cot, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 880.9.
