Explanation: The device described is examination gloves, which are used to prevent cross-contamination and not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is examination gloves, which are a physical hardware product, 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 clearly stated as preventing cross-contamination between the user and the patient during healthcare work. This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic function performed in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details examination gloves meeting a specific ASTM standard. This aligns with personal protective equipment, not diagnostic equipment.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing information for diagnosis.
  • No Imaging, AI, or Machine Learning: These are often associated with more complex diagnostic devices, and their absence further supports the non-IVD nature.

In summary, the device is a medical glove intended for protection and barrier purposes, not for performing diagnostic tests.
