The summary describes a standard surgical glove and makes no mention of AI or ML technology.

No
A surgeon's glove is intended to protect a surgical wound from contamination, which is a preventive measure rather than a treatment for a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The device, SENSIFLEX, is described as a surgeon's glove, which is a protective barrier worn by operating room personnel. Its intended use is to protect a surgical wound from contamination, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a surgeon's glove made of natural or synthetic rubber, which is a physical hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the glove is for protecting a surgical wound from contamination by operating room personnel. This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body) on specimens like blood, urine, or tissue.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties and standards met by the glove (material, color, size, ASTM standards). This aligns with a medical device used for protection and barrier, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

Therefore, this device is a medical device, specifically a surgical glove, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
