Explanation: The device is a sterile surgeon's glove, intended to prevent contamination during surgical procedures, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Sterile Indicator Inner Surgeon's Glove," which is a physical hardware product, 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 healthcare providers and patients during surgical procedures. This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: It's a sterile surgeon's glove. This is a physical barrier device.
  • 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 samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions

IVDs are used to perform tests in vitro (outside the body) on specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. A surgeon's glove is a medical device used in vivo (on the body) as a protective barrier.
