No
The device description and intended use clearly define the product as disposable examination gloves, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
Explanation: The device is a glove intended to prevent contamination, not to treat a disease or condition.

No
The device, "patient examination gloves," is described as a disposable device worn on the examiner's hand to prevent contamination. This function is for protection and hygiene, not for analyzing or identifying medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device is a physical medical device (gloves) and does not involve any software component.

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 Function: The description clearly states the device is a "patient examination glove" worn on the examiner's hand to prevent contamination. Its function is a physical barrier, not a test performed on a biological sample.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for preventing contamination during medical and dental examinations, not for diagnosing or monitoring a patient's health condition through analysis of biological samples.

The information provided about the device's material (latex), protein content, and intended use in medical/dental settings all point to it being a medical device used for barrier protection, not an IVD.
