No

The device is described as an examination glove intended to prevent contamination between patient and examiner, which is a protective barrier function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device is described as a physical glove, which is a 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. This is a physical barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: It's described as a "Latex Examination Glove," which 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

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
