The device description and performance studies focus on the physical and material properties of examination gloves, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
No
This device, Black Pearl Nitrile Examination Glove, is intended to prevent contamination between patient and examiner. Its purpose is protective and diagnostic in nature, not therapeutic.
No
The device is an 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, intended to be worn on the hand. It undergoes physical and biological testing, not software validation.
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 to prevent contamination between patient and examiner." This describes a barrier device used for personal protection and infection control.
- IVD Definition: An In Vitro Diagnostic device is defined as a medical device intended to be used in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, derived from the human body, to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: The description of the Black Pearl Nitrile Examination Glove does not mention any function related to examining specimens from the human body or providing diagnostic information. Its purpose is purely a physical barrier.
- Testing Performed: The performance studies described focus on the physical properties, safety, and barrier integrity of the glove (dimensions, freedom from holes, physical properties, biocompatibility tests). These are not tests related to in vitro diagnostic procedures.
Therefore, the Black Pearl Nitrile Examination Glove falls under the category of a general medical device, specifically a Class I or Class II device depending on the regulatory jurisdiction, but it is not an IVD.

comes in contact | |||||
with skin. The | |||||
duration of contact is | |||||
less than or equal to | |||||
24 hours. | The test item that was cut and used | ||||
for extraction was extracted using | |||||
physiological saline (polar solvent) | |||||
and cottonseed oil (non-polar solvent) | |||||
at 37 ± 1 °C for 72 h and 20 min | |||||
under sterile conditions. Solvent | |||||
controls were also subjected to the | |||||
similar extraction conditions. | |||||
The test item extracts (0.5 mL) was | |||||
loaded on the absorbent gauze and | |||||
placed topically on the fur clipped | |||||
area of six rabbits (3 animals each for | |||||
polar and non-polar extracts). The | |||||
patches were loosely held in contact | |||||
with the skin by semi-occlusive | |||||
dressing with means of non-irritant | |||||
adhesive tape for 24 h. The test sites | |||||
were marked with non-irritant | |||||
permanent ink. | |||||
Animals were observed for three | |||||
consecutive days for morbidity. | |||||
mortality, skin reactions and | |||||
abnormal clinical signs and | |||||
symptoms following the patch | |||||
removal. The skin reactions were | |||||
visually scored according to ISO | |||||

observed in the experimental | |||||
animals. A gradual increase in | |||||

the animals at the end of the | |||||
experiment. No signs of clinical | |||||
toxicity or overt toxicity was | |||||
observed in any of the animals. | |||||
Hence, gross pathology and | |||||

solvent control, G2 - ten guinea pigs | |||||
for polar test item extract, G3 - five | |||||
guinea pigs for non-polar solvent | |||||
control and G4 - ten guinea pigs for | |||||
non-polar test item extract. The fur | |||||
over the treatment sites was clipped | |||||
and shaved on the day of treatment, | |||||
prior to dosing on all the animals. | |||||
Induction of sensitization was a two- | |||||
stage procedure with intradermal | |||||
injections on day 0 (with Freund's | |||||

controls and extracts), followed by a | |||||
topical patch exposure on day 7 for | |||||

applied for 24 h. Skin reaction | |||||
grading was performed using | |||||

and 48 h, after removing the | |||||
challenge patches according to ISO | |||||

observed in both control and test | |||||
sites of all the animals. | |||||
