No

The device description clearly states the device is made from poly vinyl chloride (vinyl) and is an examination glove, indicating it is a physical hardware device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to prevent the transfer of body fluids between the wearer's hands and the patient during examination. This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic function. IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.
  • Device Description: The device is an examination glove made of poly vinyl chloride. This is a physical barrier, not a reagent, instrument, or system used for in vitro testing.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on leak resistance and biocompatibility, which are relevant to the barrier function and safety of a glove, not the analytical or clinical performance of a diagnostic test.

The description clearly indicates that these are examination gloves intended for barrier protection, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostic devices.
