No
The device description and intended use clearly indicate that the device is a powdered latex examination glove, which is a physical barrier and does not involve any computational or analytical technology like AI/ML. The "Not Found" entries for AI/ML mentions, image processing, training/test sets, and performance studies further support this conclusion.

No
The device, powdered latex examination gloves, is intended to prevent contamination, not to treat or cure a disease or condition.

No
The device, powdered latex examination gloves, is described as being worn to prevent contamination, not to diagnose any condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is "POWDERED LATEX EXAMINATION GLOVES," which are physical hardware, 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 prevent contamination between healthcare personnel and the patient by being worn on the hands. This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the material (latex), form (powdered), and protein content of the gloves. This aligns with a medical device used for protection, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, 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 screening purposes. This device does not fit that description.
