No
The device is a medical glove, and the summary contains no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies.

No
A therapeutic device is used to treat or cure a disease or condition. This device is a glove worn by healthcare personnel to prevent contamination, which is a preventive measure, not a treatment.

No
Explanation: The device, a medical glove, is intended to prevent contamination between healthcare personnel and the patient. Its function is protective, not diagnostic.

No

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

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use of the medical glove is to prevent contamination between healthcare personnel and the patient. This is a barrier function, not a diagnostic function.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics of the glove (powder-free, latex, protein labeling). There is no mention of any components or functions related to testing samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The document explicitly states "Not Found" for key elements typically associated with IVDs, such as:
    • Image processing
    • AI, DNN, or ML
    • Input Imaging Modality
    • Description of training/test sets and performance studies (which are crucial for validating the accuracy of a diagnostic device).
    • Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, etc.)

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. A medical glove does not perform this function.
