The summary describes standard surgical gloves and contains no mention of AI, ML, or related technologies.

No.
The gloves are protective barriers for operating room personnel and surgical wounds, not for treating a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The device is described as "Synthetic Powder-Free Surgical Gloves" and its intended use is to protect both the surgical wound from contamination and the user from blood-borne pathogens. This is a protective barrier device, not one designed to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states "Synthetic Powder-Free Surgical Gloves," indicating a physical hardware product, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device description and intended use: The description clearly states these are surgical gloves intended for use in sterile environments to protect both the patient and the user during medical procedures. They are a barrier device, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

The information provided about the device's function and purpose aligns with a medical device used for protection and sterility, not for diagnosing conditions based on in vitro analysis.
