No.
The device is an examination glove, intended to prevent cross-contamination, not to diagnose a condition or disease.
No
The device is a physical examination glove made of natural rubber latex, not software.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's a "single use disposable sterile examination glove" to be worn by medical personnel to prevent cross-contamination. This is a physical barrier device used on the body, not a device used to examine specimens from the body.
- Device Description: It's classified as a Class 1 device under 21 CFR 878.4460, which is for "Examination Powder-free Latex Gloves." This classification is for general medical devices, not IVDs.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), chemical reactions, or diagnostic tests performed in vitro (outside the body).
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens obtained from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This glove serves a protective and barrier function during medical examinations.
