More Information

No
The summary describes a standard medical glove and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No
The device is a medical glove intended for protection against contamination and chemotherapeutic agents, not for treating a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The device is a medical glove, which is used for protection and contamination prevention, not for diagnosing a disease or condition.

No

The device is a physical glove, not software. The description clearly outlines its material, thickness, and physical characteristics.

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 contamination between healthcare personnel and patients and to protect the wearer from chemotherapeutic agents. This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic function performed in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description is of a physical glove, not a reagent, instrument, or system used to examine specimens from the human body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies listed relate to the physical properties and barrier function of the glove (strength, chemical resistance, irritation), not diagnostic accuracy or analytical performance.

IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This glove does not perform any such function.
