No
The summary describes a standard medical examination glove and contains no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No
The device is described as an examination glove intended to prevent contamination, not to treat or cure a medical condition.

No
Explanation: The device, Powder Free Latex Examination Gloves, is intended to prevent contamination between patient and examiner. It does not gather information for the purpose of identifying a disease or condition.

No

The device is a physical glove, not software. The description clearly states it is a "Powder Free Latex Examination Glove".

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The intended use of this device is to be worn on the examiner's hand to prevent contamination. It does not involve testing or analyzing any biological samples.
  • The description focuses on a physical barrier. The device description details the material (latex), powder status, and protein labeling claim, all of which relate to the physical properties of the glove as a barrier.
  • There is no mention of any diagnostic purpose. The intended use clearly states its purpose is to prevent contamination, not to diagnose, monitor, or treat any condition based on analysis of biological samples.

This device is a medical device, specifically a medical glove, but it falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.
