No
The 510(k) summary describes a standard medical glove and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device description clearly states its purpose is to prevent contamination between personnel and patients and for use with chemotherapeutic agents, not to treat a medical condition or disease. It functions as a barrier, a prophylactic measure, rather than an active therapeutic intervention.

No
Explanation: The device is an examination glove, used to prevent contamination, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device is a physical glove, not software. The description clearly states it is a "medical glove" and a "disposable device intended to be worn".

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. They are used to diagnose, monitor, or screen for health issues.
  • Device Function: The device described is a medical glove. Its function is to provide a physical barrier to prevent contamination between healthcare personnel and patients, and to offer protection when handling chemotherapeutic agents.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: The glove does not perform any test on a biological sample to provide diagnostic information. It is a protective barrier, not a diagnostic tool.

The information provided clearly describes a protective medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
