Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard examination glove and explicitly states that AI, DNN, or ML are "Not Found".

No
The device, a "patient examination glove," is designed to provide a barrier against infectious materials and contaminants, which is a protective rather than therapeutic function.

No
The device, an examination glove, is intended as a barrier for protection, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical product (gloves) and there is no mention of software components or functions.

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 a "patient examination glove" intended to be worn on the hand or fingers as a barrier against infectious materials and contaminants. This is a physical barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description "POWDER FREE NITRILE EXAMINATION GLOVES" further reinforces its nature as a physical barrier device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document 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 of diseases or conditions

Therefore, based on the provided text, this device is a medical device, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
