Not Found

No
The device is a standard examination glove and the description and performance studies focus on material properties and biocompatibility, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device, a latex examination glove, is intended to prevent contamination between healthcare personnel and the patient. It does not provide any therapeutic benefit or treatment to the patient.

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

No

The device is a physical product (latex examination gloves) and does not involve any software component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the gloves are for preventing contamination between healthcare personnel and the patient by being worn on the hand. This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic function.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties and standards met by the gloves (ASTM D 3578-95). There is no mention of analyzing samples from the body or providing diagnostic information.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described relate to the physical integrity and biocompatibility of the gloves (meeting ASTM standards, skin irritation, sensitization). They do not involve any form of diagnostic testing or analysis of biological samples.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This device does not perform that function.
