No
The summary describes latex examination gloves, which are a simple barrier device and do not involve any computational or analytical technology like AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No.
The device description indicates "Latex examination powderfree gloves," which are used to prevent contamination and are not designed to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease, or affect the structure or any function of the body as a therapeutic device would.

No
Explanation: The device is described as "LATEX EXAMINATION POWDERFREE GLOVES" used to prevent contamination, which indicates it is a protective barrier, not a tool for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is "LATEX EXAMINATION POWDERFREE GLOVES," which are physical hardware. There is no mention of software functionality.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to be worn on the hands to prevent contamination between healthcare personnel and patients. This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description is for examination gloves, which are physical barriers.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health condition.
  • No Mention of Image Processing, AI, DNN, or ML: These are often associated with more complex diagnostic devices, especially those involving imaging or data analysis.
  • No Performance Studies Related to Diagnosis: The lack of performance study details suggests the evaluation is not focused on diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity, specificity, etc.).

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