Intended Use

A powder free patient examination glove is a disposable device intended for medical purposes that is worn on the examiner's hands or fingers to prevent contamination between patient and examiner.

Device Story

SBG Blue Nitrile Powder Free Medical Examination Glove is a single-use, disposable, non-sterile glove made from a nitrile latex compound. Designed for use by healthcare examiners to provide a barrier against contamination between the examiner and the patient. The device is worn on the hands or fingers during medical examinations. It is intended for over-the-counter use. The glove provides a physical barrier to reduce the risk of cross-contamination, potentially benefiting both the patient and the healthcare provider by maintaining hygiene standards during clinical interactions.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing included physical properties (tensile strength, ultimate elongation per ASTM D6319-10/D573), freedom from holes (ASTM D5151-06), residual powder (ASTM D6124), and biocompatibility (ISO 10993-10:2010 for primary skin irritation and dermal sensitization). Results confirmed the device meets all acceptance criteria and is not a primary skin irritant or contact sensitizer.

Technological Characteristics

Material: Nitrile latex compound. Form factor: Disposable, non-sterile, blue, powder-free glove. Dimensions: Length 234 mm, Palm Width 97 mm, Finger Thickness 0.11 mm, Palm Thickness 0.10 mm. Standards: ASTM D6319-10 (physical properties), ASTM D5151-06 (freedom from holes), ASTM D6124 (residual powder), ISO 10993-10:2010 (biocompatibility).

Indications for Use

Indicated for use as a disposable medical device worn on the examiner's hands or fingers to prevent contamination between patient and examiner. Suitable for over-the-counter use.

### Dear Jeffrey Richardson:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part

{1}------------------------------------------------

801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/CombinationProducts/GuidanceRegulatoryInformation/ucm597488.htm); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).
