More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and barrier function of examination gloves, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device, a patient examination glove, is intended to prevent contamination and is not designed to treat a medical condition or ailment, which is the primary function of a therapeutic device.

No

The device is a glove intended to prevent contamination, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical glove, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the gloves are for preventing contamination between healthcare personnel and patients/environment. This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic function performed in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a Class I latex patient examination glove, which is a physical barrier device.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical properties of the glove (watertightness, strength, dimensions) and its hypoallergenic properties, not on diagnostic accuracy.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This glove does not fit that description.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The gloves are intended to be worn on the hand of healthcare personnel, operating room personnel and similar personnel to prevent contamination between the healthcare or similar personnel and the patient's body, fluids, waste, or environment.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Performance data of gloves to ASTM D 3578-91 and FDA 1000 ml watertight test. Protein content tested on recently manufactured and accelerated ageing gloves using ASTM D5712 is below 50 microgram / gram. Clinical data of 200 Human subjects on Modified Draize test done on this glove demonstrated no potential for eliciting either dermal irritation or sensitization and support the labeling claim for "hypoallergenic".

§ 880.6250 Non-powdered patient examination glove.

(a)
Identification. A non-powdered 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. A non-powdered patient examination 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). The device, when it is a finger cot, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 880.9.
