No
The 510(k) summary describes a standard examination glove and makes no mention of AI or ML technology.

No
The device, QTEXX Pre - Powdered Nitrile Examination Glove, is intended to prevent contamination and is for examination purposes, not for treating any medical condition or disease.

No

This device is described as a medical glove, intended to prevent contamination. There is no mention of it being used to diagnose any condition.

No

The device is a physical examination glove, not a software application. The description focuses on material properties and performance standards for a tangible 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 "worn on the hand of health care and similar personnel to prevent contamination between the health care personnel and the patient." This describes a barrier device used for protection, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body for the purpose of providing information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of disease.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties and standards met by the glove (ASTM specifications).
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

Therefore, the QTEXX Pre-Powdered Nitrile Examination Glove is a medical device, but it falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.
