The glove is intended to be worn by operating room personnel to protect a surgical wound from contamination. In addition, these gloves were tested for use with chemotherapy drugs in accordance with ASTM D6978.
Sterile Powder Free Latex Surgical Gloves, Tested for Use with Chemotherapy Drugs is a disposable single-use, sterile, natural-colored and powder-free surgical glove made from rubber latex. They are in different sizes - 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0. Gloves meet the specification of ASTM D3577-19 and have been tested for resistance to permeation by chemotherapy drugs as per ASTM D6978-05(2019).
The provided text describes the acceptance criteria and the study that proves a medical device (Sterile Powder Free Latex Surgical Gloves, Tested for Use with Chemotherapy Drugs) meets those criteria.
Here's the breakdown of the requested information:

(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).
