No

The device description clearly states it is a physical product (gloves) and does not mention any software components.

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 healthcare personnel and the patient 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: The description is for "NITRILE EXAMINATION GLOVES, NON-STERILE, POWDER FREE." This is a physical barrier device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

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