The 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.

The glove was tested for use with chemotherapy drugs and Fentanyl Citrate as per ASTM D6978-05(2023).

The subject device is single use, disposable and non-sterile gloves intended for medical purposes to be worn on the examiner's hands to prevent contamination between patient and examiner. The gloves are powder free, ambidextrous with beaded cuff, Blue/Black colored, nitrile, and tested for use with chemotherapy drugs and Fentanyl Citrate. The gloves are offered in six sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL.

| Skin Irritation Testing | Skin irritation Testing | Under the conditions of the study, the device is not an irritant | The test article met the requirements of the test since the difference between each test article extract overall mean score and corresponding control extract overall mean score was 0.0 and 0.0 for the SC and SO test article extracts, respectively. |
| ISO 10993-5:2009 - Biocompatibility | | | |
| Cytotoxicity testing | Cytotoxicity testing | No Cytotoxicity reactivity (note: text says "No Cytotoxicity reactivity" but result section shows some initial toxicity addressed by further testing) | The test article extract showed evidence of causing severe cell lysis or toxicity. Toxicity concerns was addressed by Acute Systemic Toxicity testing. |
| ISO 10993-11:2017 - Biocompatibility | | | |
| Acute systemic toxicity study | Acute systemic toxicity study | Subject showed no adverse biological reaction | There was no mortality or evidence of systemic toxicity from the extracts injected into mice. Each test article extract met the requirements of the study. |

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes for the test sets for each specific test (e.g., how many gloves were tested for length, how many for water leak). However, the standard ASTM D6319-19(2023) and other listed standards would define the required sample sizes for each test to ensure statistical validity.

The data provenance is not explicitly stated in terms of country of origin of the data or retrospective/prospective. However, the tests are "non-clinical tests" conducted to verify design specifications and conform to international and national standards (ASTM, ISO). This suggests the data was generated through controlled laboratory testing following these specified methodologies.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

This device is a medical glove, and its performance evaluation primarily relies on objective, standardized laboratory tests against defined physical, chemical, and biological endpoints, not subjective expert assessment of images or clinical cases. Therefore, the concept of "experts establishing ground truth for a test set" as typically understood in AI/imaging studies does not apply here. The "ground truth" for these tests is the quantitative measurement results compared to the established thresholds defined by the standards.

4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

Not applicable. As mentioned above, the evaluation relies on objective analytical tests rather than subjective human assessment requiring adjudication.

5. 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 medical glove, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive technology for human readers. No MRMC study was performed.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

Not applicable. This is not an algorithm or software device.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

The "ground truth" for the performance evaluation of these gloves is based on objective measurements and chemical analysis as defined by the referenced ASTM and ISO standards. For example:

• Physical properties (length, width, thickness, tensile strength, elongation): Measured values compared to a numerical range or minimum defined by ASTM D6319.
• Freedom from holes (water leak test): Objective criteria (AQL 2.5) for defect detection.
• Powder residue: Quantitative measurement (Max 2mg/glove).
• Chemical permeation (chemotherapy drugs and Fentanyl Citrate): Directly measured breakthrough detection time (BDT) in minutes, as per ASTM D6978.
• Biocompatibility (Sensitization, Irritation, Cytotoxicity, Systemic Toxicity): Laboratory test results demonstrating lack of adverse biological reactions as defined by ISO 10993 standards and evaluated against established pass/fail criteria (e.g., no evidence of sensitization, no irritancy, no mortality/toxicity).

8. The sample size for the training set:

Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device that requires a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device.
