No
The summary describes sterile examination gloves, a simple barrier device, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any computational capabilities.

No
The device, a sterile examination glove, is intended to prevent contamination between patient and examiner, which is a preventive measure rather than a therapeutic one. It does not treat or cure any medical condition.

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

No

The device description clearly states it is a "disposable device" and "worn on the examiners hand," indicating a physical, hardware-based product (gloves).

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to prevent contamination between patient and examiner by being worn on the hand. This is a physical barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces the intended use as a disposable device worn on the hand for contamination prevention.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health status. This device is a physical barrier for protection.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The performance test data of the non clinical tests are the same as mentioned immediately above. Biocompatibility tests performed: Primary Skin Irritation in Rabbits (Passes) and Guinea Pig Sensitization (Passes). Clinical data is not needed for medical gloves or for most devices cleared by the 510(k) process. It is concluded that Nitra-Touch™ Sterile examination gloves are as safe, as effective, and perform as well as or better than the glove performance standards referenced in Section 7 above and therefore meet: ASTM listed standards, FDA hole requirements, and labeling claims for the product.
