Intended Use

These gloves are intended for use in environments within hospitals and other healthcare facilities. The gloves are appropriate for use during invasive as well as non-invasive medical procedures requiring sterility. They are intended to be worn by operating room personnel to protect a surgical wound from contamination.

Device Description

Ultraderm Surgical gloves are formulated using natural rubber latex and contain 50 micrograms or less of total water extractable protein per gram

AI/ML Overview

Missing Information (Not Available in the Provided Text):

The provided text does not contain information regarding the following aspects, as it pertains to a medical device and not an AI/software-based device performance study:

  • Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
  • Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
  • Adjudication method for the test set
  • If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, and the effect size
  • If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
  • The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
  • The sample size for the training set
  • How the ground truth for the training set was established

This is expected as the document describes the substantial equivalence of a physical medical device (surgical gloves) and not a software algorithm or AI-powered system, which would typically involve such detailed study designs. The "studies" described are biocompatibility and physical property tests for the gloves themselves.

§ 878.4460 Non-powdered surgeon's glove.

(a)
Identification. A non-powdered surgeon's glove is a device intended to be worn on the hands of operating room personnel to protect a surgical wound from contamination. A non-powdered surgeon's glove does not incorporate powder for purposes other than manufacturing. The final finished glove includes only residual powder from manufacturing.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls).
