Predicate Devices

Reference Devices

Not Found

AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

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.

Therapeutic

No
The device, an examination glove, is intended to prevent contamination between patient and examiner, which is a barrier function, not a therapeutic one. It does not treat, diagnose, cure, or mitigate a disease or condition.

Diagnostic

No
The device, examination gloves, is intended to prevent contamination between patient and examiner, which is a barrier function, not a diagnostic one. It does not collect or analyze any physiological data to determine a diagnosis.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

No

The device is described as a "disposable device" and "worn on the examiners hand," indicating a physical, hardware component (gloves). There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

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 patient and examiner by being worn on the examiner's hand. This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body) on a specimen.
• Device Description: The description reinforces the barrier function of the gloves.
• Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not fit that description.

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

The performance test data of the non clinical tests are the same as mentioned immediately above. Clinical data is not needed for medical gloves or for most devices cleared by the 510(k) process. It is concluded that Conform® No Powder (Protein Labeling Claim) examination gloves are as safe, as effective, and perform as well as the glove performance standards referenced in Section 7 above and therefore meet: ASTM listed standards, FDA hole requirements, and labeling claims for the product.
