No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and biocompatibility of surgical gloves, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No.
The device description and intended use clearly state that the surgical glove is for preventing contamination, not for treating any medical condition or disease.

No
The device is a surgical glove, which is intended to prevent contamination, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical surgical glove, which is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as being worn on the hands of operating room personnel to prevent contamination during a surgical procedure. This is a physical barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties and standards related to the glove's integrity and performance as a barrier. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition.

Therefore, the Safeskin Tactylon® PF powder-free surgical glove is a medical device, but it falls under the category of a surgical glove, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
