More Information

Not Found

No
The device is a simple examination glove and the description and testing focus on material properties and barrier function, with no mention of AI/ML.

No
A patient examination glove is intended to prevent contamination, not to treat or alleviate a medical condition.

No

This device, a latex exam glove, is intended to prevent contamination between patient and examiner, which is a protective function, not a diagnostic one. It does not analyze patient data or provide information for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Latex Exam Glove," which is a physical, disposable hardware device. The performance studies also focus on physical properties and biocompatibility, not software validation.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device is a "patient examination glove" worn on the hand or finger to prevent contamination between the patient and examiner. Its purpose is a physical barrier, not to analyze biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "medical purposes that is worn on the examiner's hand or finger to prevent contamination between patient and examiner." This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples, chemical reactions, or diagnostic tests performed by the glove itself.

The testing mentioned (ASTM standards, protein content, water leak test, biocompatibility) are related to the physical properties, safety, and performance of the glove as a barrier device, not as a diagnostic tool.
