A glove is worn on the hand of healthcare and similar personnel to prevent contamination between healthcare personnel and the patient's body, fluids, waste or environment.
A 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.

would depend on the batch size, as per ASTM sampling tables for Inspection Level S-2. - FDA 1000 ml. Water Fill Test: AQL 2.5, Inspection Level S-4. The exact sample size
n
would depend on the batch size, as per FDA or ASTM sampling tables for Inspection Level S-4.
- Physical and Dimensions Testing: Inspection Level S-2, AQL 4.0. The exact sample size
- Test Sets for Primary Skin Irritation and Skin Sensitization: Not specified, but "samplings" were used.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but the company is based in Shanghai, China, suggesting the testing was performed on products manufactured there. It is a retrospective summary of tests performed to demonstrate compliance.
- Test Sets for Physical and Dimensions, Water Fill Test:
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. The ground truth for these tests is based on objective measurements against established standards (ASTM D-5250-92, FDA water fill test criteria) and biological testing protocols for skin irritation/sensitization, not expert consensus on interpretations of images or findings.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable. The tests involve direct measurement against defined physical or biological criteria.
-
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 device is a pre-powdered vinyl examination glove, not an AI-powered diagnostic device.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This is not an algorithm.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- Physical and Dimensions: Objective measurements compared against the specifications defined in ASTM D-5250-92.
- Water Fill Test (Pinhole): Objective observation of water leakage, compared against the acceptance criteria (AQL 2.5).
- Primary Skin Irritation and Skin Sensitization: Biological responses (e.g., skin reactions) observed in tested subjects (likely animals or human volunteers for patch tests), against predefined criteria for irritant or sensitizing reactions.
-
The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or AI device.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or AI device.
§ 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.
