No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and biocompatibility of examination gloves, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

No
The device, an examination glove, is intended to prevent contamination, not to provide therapy or treatment for a disease or condition.

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

No

The device is a physical examination glove, not a software application. The description focuses on material properties and performance testing related to a physical product.

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 glove worn on the hand to prevent contamination between healthcare personnel and the patient. This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample from the body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties and standards met by the glove.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health condition.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This glove does not fit that description.
