Intended Use

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

Device Description

The proposed device, Sterile Nitrile 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 synthetic rubber latex, as per standard ASTM D3577-2019, Standard Specification for Rubber Surgical Gloves. The classification is: Type II - gloves compounded from synthetic rubber latex. The proposed device is Sterile Nitrile Surgical Gloves Powder Free, and is produced in sizes 6, 6 ½, 7, 7 ½, 8, 8 ½, and 9. All sizes share the same White color. The proposed device is sterilized using Gamma Radiation method to achieve the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6 while packaged to maintain sterility. The shelf life is 3 years.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
The document refers to "3 non-consecutive lots" for AQL (Acceptable Quality Limit) testing in several instances. However, the specific number of gloves sampled from each lot for each test is not explicitly stated.
Data provenance: Not specified (origin of the gloves/materials for testing). This is a non-clinical device performance test, not a study on patient data.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
N/A - This submission concerns non-clinical performance testing of a physical medical device (gloves), not a diagnostic algorithm requiring expert "ground truth." The "ground truth" here is established by standardized test methods and their defined pass/fail criteria.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
N/A - See point 3.

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
N/A - This is not an AI/algorithm-assisted diagnostic device. No MRMC study was conducted.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
N/A - This is not an AI/algorithm device. Standalone performance is demonstrated by the physical and biological testing results.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The "ground truth" or reference standard for these tests is defined by the technical specifications and methodologies outlined in the referenced ASTM and ISO standards (e.g., ASTM D3577-19 for surgical gloves, ISO 10993 for biological evaluation). These standards prescribe the testing procedures and define acceptable limits for various physical, chemical, and biological properties.

8. The sample size for the training set
N/A - This is not a machine learning or AI device that requires a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
N/A - See point 8.

§ 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).
