No
The 510(k) summary describes a simple medical glove and contains no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies.

No
The device, an examination glove, is intended for preventing contamination, not for treating a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The device is an examination glove, intended to prevent contamination. It does not collect or analyze data to inform a medical diagnosis.

No

The device is a physical glove, not software. The description clearly states it is a "Powder-Free Hypoallergenic Nitrile Examination Glove".

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to diagnose, monitor, or screen for health issues.
  • Device Intended Use: The intended use of this device is clearly stated as a "disposable device intended for medical purposes worn on the examiner's hand to prevent contamination between patient and examiner." This is a barrier device used for infection control.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: The description does not mention any testing of biological samples or any diagnostic function. Its purpose is purely protective.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Powder-Free Hypoallergenic Nitrile Examination Glove is a medical device, but it is not an in vitro diagnostic device.
