No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and standards compliance of surgical gloves, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
Explanation: The device is described as surgical gloves primarily intended to prevent contamination, not to treat or cure a disease or condition. Its function is barrier protection for infection control.

No

The device is surgeon's gloves, which are used to prevent contamination during surgical procedures, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical product (gloves) made from various materials and designed to comply with physical measurements, with performance studies focused on physical characteristics. There is no mention of software components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that these are surgeon's gloves worn during surgical procedures to prevent contamination. Their function is a physical barrier, not to analyze biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to prevent contamination between the user and the patient during surgery, which is a direct physical interaction, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties and materials of the gloves, not on any diagnostic capabilities.
  • Performance Studies and Metrics: The performance studies and key metrics relate to the physical integrity and properties of the gloves (size, strength, thickness, powder levels), not to the accuracy or reliability of a diagnostic test.

Therefore, based on the provided information, this device is a Class II medical device (specifically, a surgical glove) and not an IVD.
