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

Coated Sterile Latex Powder-free Surgical gloves are formulated using natural rubber latex and are coated with a nitrile coating. These are offered powder-free and sterile.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the safety and effectiveness of "Coated Sterile Latex Powder-Free Surgical Gloves." It does not pertain to an AI device or a study involving human readers or algorithms. Therefore, much of the requested information about AI model performance, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, and sample sizes for training/test sets is not applicable.

However, I can extract information related to the acceptance criteria and the summary of testing for this medical device.

Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

TestAcceptance Criteria (Implicit from "meets or exceeds requirements" or regulations)Reported Device Performance
Systemic ToxicityGloves should not elicit any toxic reactions to acute application.Gloves do not elicit any toxic reactions to acute application.
Intracutaneous ReactivityGloves should show no reactivity.Gloves show no reactivity.
Guinea Pig MaximizationGloves should not display any potential for irritation.Gloves do not display any potential for irritation.
Ultimate Elongation & Tensile StrengthMeet or exceed requirements for rubber surgical gloves per ASTM D3577-99.Gloves meet or exceed requirements for rubber surgical gloves per ASTM D3577-99.
Barrier DefectsExceed requirements per 21 CFR §800.20, AQL = 2.5.Gloves exceed requirements per 21 CFR §800.20, AQL = 2.5.
Powder LevelMeet powder level requirements for "Powder Free" designation using ASTM Standard D6124-97 (values below 4 mg of residual powder per glove).Results generated values below 4 mg of residual powder per glove.

Information Not Applicable or Not Provided for this Device:

  • Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not specified, as this is a physical medical device, not an AI model.
  • Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Device performance is measured through physical and chemical tests, not expert consensus on images/data.
  • Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable.
  • If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: Not applicable. This is not an AI device.
  • If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This is not an AI device.
  • The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): For physical medical devices, "ground truth" is established through standardized laboratory tests and regulatory requirements (e.g., ASTM standards, CFR regulations).
  • The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. This is not an AI model.
  • How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable. This is not an AI model.
