Intended Use
A 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
Device Description
The nitrile rubber is water tight under normal conditions of use. It's tensile properties cause it to conform to the hand, allowing movements necessary for a medical properties. ASTM conforming tensile properties create a glove that is strong and flexible. The glove is manufactured in accordance with the requirements of ASTM D6319 and ASTM D5151. This is a disposable device, intended for medical purposes, that is worn on the examiner's hand to prevent contamination between patient and examiner.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device is a standard examination glove and the description focuses on material properties and performance standards, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
Explanation: The device is a patient examination glove, intended to prevent contamination, not to treat or cure a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The device is a patient examination glove, intended to prevent contamination between patient and examiner. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical glove made of nitrile rubber, intended to be worn on the hand. It describes physical properties and testing related to the material and form factor, not software.

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 a "disposable device intended for medical purposes that is worn on the examiner's hand or finger to prevent contamination between patient and examiner." This describes a barrier device used for infection control during physical examinations.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties of the glove (material, tensile strength, watertightness) and its function as a barrier.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. IVDs typically involve reagents, instruments, or software used to analyze biological samples.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described focus on the physical integrity and biocompatibility of the glove, not on the accuracy or reliability of diagnostic results from analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device used for protection and infection control, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Er Chuan:

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.
