No
The device, NEUTRALON* PF* Powder Free Brown Latex Surgical Gloves, is intended to protect the wearer from liquids and to protect surgical wounds/sterile fields from contamination. This is a protective barrier function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device is a physical product (surgical gloves) and the description focuses on material properties and performance testing related to those physical properties, not 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 protect the wearer and the surgical field from contamination. This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic function performed in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description clearly states they are surgical gloves made of latex, meeting the standards for surgical gloves.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific substances, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any of those functions.
