No
Explanation: The device is described as an examination glove intended to prevent contamination between patient and examiner, with no mention of diagnosing any condition or disease.

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 clearly states the device is a "patient examination glove" worn on the hand or finger to prevent contamination. This is a physical barrier device used during patient examination.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a "Powdered Non-Sterile Nitrile Examination Gloves," which aligns with the intended use as a physical barrier.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in the body
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening

IVDs are devices used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for clinical purposes. This glove is used in vivo (on the body) as a physical barrier.
