The document describes a medical examination glove and its physical properties and testing, with no mention of AI or ML.
No.
The device, a medical examination glove, is intended to prevent contamination between patient and examiner, not to treat a disease or condition.
No.
The device is a medical examination glove designed to prevent contamination, not to diagnose conditions.
No
The device is a physical medical examination glove made of nitrile rubber, not software.
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 "disposable device intended for medical purposes; that is worn on the examiner's hand, to prevent contamination between the patient and examiner". This describes a barrier device used during medical examinations, not a device used to examine specimens in vitro (outside of the body) to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties of the glove (barrier to fluids, tensile properties, absence of latex) and its function as a barrier. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological specimen. There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any other elements typically associated with IVD devices.
The device is a medical glove, which falls under a different regulatory classification than IVD devices.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The NITRI-CARE Nitrile Powder-Free Sterile Medical Examination Glove is a disposable device, intended for medical purposes, that is worn on the examiner's hand to prevent contamination between the patient and examiner. Powder-free examination gloves are suitable in situations where powder is not desirable. Sterile gloves are suitable where a sterile examination glove is required.

Device Description
Nitrile rubber films form an excellent barrier to body fluids and bloodborne pathogens. The nitrile rubber is water tight under normal conditions of use. It's tensile properties cause it to conform to the hand, allowing fine movement necessary for treatment. The absence of natural rubber latex in the product yields no latex protein allergens. Nitrile rubber is known to create a superior barrier to bloodborne pathogens and body fluids.

Summary of Performance Studies
Non-clinical tests performed include: Performance Standards, Watertightness, Rabbit Irritation, Guinea Pig Sensitization. Clinical tests performed include: Modified Draze Test (Human Study). The Modified Draze Test involved 200 human subjects. The NITRI-CARE Nitrile Powder-Free Sterile Medical Examination Glove met or exceeded accepted scores for the predicate product in both nonclinical tests and satisfied the requirements for a safe and effective "powder-free" medical glove.

§ 880.6250 Non-powdered patient examination glove.
(a)
Identification. A non-powdered patient examination glove is a disposable device intended for medical purposes that is worn on the examiner's hand or finger to prevent contamination between patient and examiner. A non-powdered patient examination glove does not incorporate powder for purposes other than manufacturing. The final finished glove includes only residual powder from manufacturing.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device, when it is a finger cot, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 880.9.
