No.
The device is a medical glove used to prevent contamination, which is a barrier function, not a therapeutic one. It does not treat or cure any condition.

No
A medical glove (Nitrile Examination Glove) is a barrier device used to prevent contamination, not to diagnose a medical condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Powdered Nitrile Examination Glove," which is a physical hardware device, not software.

No, 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 the patient by being worn on the hand. This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic function performed in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description is of a physical barrier (a glove).
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting substances, or providing information about a patient's health status.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This glove does not perform any of those functions.
