Powder-Free Latex Examination Glove, Teal or White (non-colored)
The provided document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for a Powder-Free Latex Examination Glove. It is a regulatory document and does not contain information about the acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria. The letter confirms that the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices, which means it has met the general controls provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information based on the content of these pages. The document does not describe:
- A table of acceptance criteria or reported device performance.
- Sample sizes or data provenance for any test set.
- Number or qualifications of experts for ground truth.
- Adjudication method for a test set.
- A multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study.
- Standalone algorithm performance.
- Type of ground truth used.
- Sample size for a training set.
- How ground truth for a training set was established.
This is typical for a 510(k) clearance letter for a Class I device like gloves, as extensive clinical studies are often not required if substantial equivalence to a predicate device can be demonstrated through other means (e.g., material testing, manufacturing process, intended use).
