No
The document describes surgical gloves and does not mention any AI or ML technology.

No
The device is described as protecting a surgical wound from contamination, which is a preventative measure rather than the treatment of a disease or condition.

No
The device, Encore Mark IV Powder Free Surgical Gloves, is intended to protect a surgical wound from contamination, which is a protective function and not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is made of natural rubber and is a physical glove, 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 protect a surgical wound from contamination by being worn by operating room personnel. This is a physical barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample taken from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the material (natural rubber), sterility, disposability, and compliance with ASTM standards for surgical gloves. There is no mention of analyzing samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions

Therefore, the Encore Mark IV Powder Free Surgical Gloves are a medical device, but they fall under the category of a protective barrier device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
