No
The device description and intended use clearly define it as a standard patient examination glove, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The "Not Found" entries for AI/ML mentions and performance studies further support this.

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

No
The description states the device is "a disposable device intended for medical purposes that is worn on the examiner’s hand or finger to prevent contamination between patient and examiner," which describes a barrier device, not one used for diagnosis.

No

The device is described as "POWDER FREE LATEX PATIENT EXAMINATION GLOVES," which are physical hardware devices, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is a "patient examination glove" worn on the hand or finger to prevent contamination. This is a physical barrier device used during patient examination.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a "POWDER FREE LATEX PATIENT EXAMINATION GLOVES".
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information
    • Using reagents or assays
    • Performing tests in vitro (outside the body)

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. This glove does not perform any of these functions.
