No
Explanation: The device description states "NITRILE EXAMINATION GLOVES", and its intended use is to "prevent contamination between health care personnel and the patient". This indicates a barrier device, not one used for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is "NITRILE EXAMINATION GLOVES," which are physical hardware.

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 healthcare personnel and the patient by being worn on the hand. This is a physical barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description is for "NITRILE EXAMINATION GLOVES, NON-STERILE, POWDERED." This is a physical product used for protection.
  • 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.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in the body
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening

IVDs are used to perform tests in vitro (outside the body) on samples to provide diagnostic information. Medical gloves are a physical barrier used in vivo (on the body) for protection.
