No
The device description and performance studies focus on physical characteristics, leakage, and biocompatibility, which are standard for examination gloves and do not indicate the use of AI/ML. There are no mentions of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets related to AI/ML training or testing.

No
The device, a disposable examination glove, is intended to prevent contamination between patient and examiner, falling under the category of barrier protection rather than directly treating or mitigating a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The device is a disposable glove intended to prevent contamination between the patient and examiner, not to diagnose a medical condition. Its function is barrier protection, not medical assessment or detection.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "light and flexible glove," which is a physical hardware component, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to prevent contamination between patient and examiner by being worn on the hand(s) or finger(s). This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description of a light and flexible glove for examination procedures aligns with a barrier device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific substances, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health condition.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on physical characteristics, leakage, and biocompatibility, which are relevant for a barrier device, not an IVD.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

§ 880.6250 Non-powdered patient examination glove.

(a)
Identification. A non-powdered patient examination glove 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. A non-powdered patient examination glove does not incorporate powder for purposes other than manufacturing. The final finished glove includes only residual powder from manufacturing.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device, when it is a finger cot, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 880.9.

510(k) SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS

  • Submitter: George Q. Kuo, M.D., CLK International, Inc., 28 East Broadway, 1. 2nd Floor, New York, NY, 10002. Ph: (212) 334-3953
  • Classification Names and Numbers: Latex "Powder-Free" Examination Glove, 11. 80LYY, Class I
  • Common/Usual Name: Latex "Powder-Free" Examination Glove (11.
  • Proprietary Names: CLK Int'l. Powder Free Latex Examination Glove IV.
  • Establishment Registration Number: In Progress V.
  • VI. Classification: Class I

VII. Performance Standard:

None established under section 514. Meets ASTM D3578 voluntary standards.

VIII. Description of the Device:

Product is a light and flexible glove, in standard sizes, for use in examination procedures, sold non-sterile and intended to be disposed of after use with each patient.

IX. Substantial Equivalent:

The CLK International glove is substantially equivalent to latex powder-free examination gloves cleared under the premarket-510(k)process since about 1990. It complies with the required standard (see above) as do equivalent gloves. Characteristics of the CLK Int'l latex powder-free examination gloves are compared with ASTM D3578 in Attachment I, Table I.

The "510(k) Substantial Evidence" Decision-Making Process (Detailed) from ODE Guidance Memorandum #86-3 was followed as described below:

    1. These products have the same intended use, a disposable device intended for medical purposes that is worn on the examiner's hand(s) or finger(s) to prevent contamination between the patient and the examiner. These are the same as those of the predicate devices. These products also have the same intended uses as similar products cleared for marketing by the 510(k) process.
    1. The technical characteristics for this product are the same as those for the predicate devices and those currently on the market that are prepared from rubber materials.

1

  • The technical characteristics for this product are the same as those for the 2. predicate devices and those currently on the market that are prepared from rubber materials.
  • Descriptive information provided shows that the materials from which the CLK 3. latex powder-free examination gloves made are substantially equivalent to (nearly identical with) those of similar products and are to be used for identical purposes, currently on the market. Tests show they meet the requirements of ASTM D3578 for latex examination gloves.
  • The FDA "Decision-Making Process" chart was used and appears in 4. Attachment V.

Data used in determining substantial equivalence include those required by ASTM D3578 and biocompatability test data as required by Int. Std ISO-10993 as modified by the FDA in the General Program Memorandum #G95-1.

Summary of Test Data Used in Determining Equivalence: Physical Characteristics, before and after aging. Evaluation of Leakage. Primal Dermal Irritation. Maximization Sensitization (ISO)
