The device description clearly states it is a "Nitrile Surgical Glove," which is a physical hardware product, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to be worn by a user to protect a surgical wound from contamination. This is a physical barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as "Nitrile Surgical Gloves - Sterile (Powdered)". This is a medical device used for protection, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.
  • 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 samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening

Therefore, the BRIGHTWAY™ Brand Nitrile Surgical Gloves - Sterile (Powdered) is a medical device, but it falls under a different category than IVDs.
