A patient examination glove is a disposable device intended for medical purposes that is worn on the examiner's hand to prevent contamination between patient and examiner.
Device Story
Single-use, disposable nitrile rubber examination gloves; ambidextrous; beaded cuff; powder-free. Inner surface treated for smooth donning without lubricants. Supplied non-sterile in six sizes (XS-XXL). Used by healthcare professionals in clinical settings to provide a barrier against contamination. Chemotherapy-labeled version tested for permeation resistance against 11 specific chemotherapy drugs per ASTM D6978-05. Output is a physical barrier; healthcare providers use gloves during patient examinations or chemotherapy drug handling to reduce exposure risk and prevent cross-contamination.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only, including physical property testing (ASTM D6319), watertight testing (ASTM D5151), residual powder testing (ASTM D6124), chemotherapy drug permeation testing (ASTM D6978), and biocompatibility testing (ISO 10993-10/11).
Indicated for use as a disposable, non-sterile, ambidextrous patient examination glove to prevent contamination between patient and examiner. The chemotherapy-labeled variant is indicated for use during handling of specific chemotherapy drugs as tested per ASTM D6978-05 (2019).
Regulatory Classification
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.

Dear Kewin Tham:
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.
{1}------------------------------------------------
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 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/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) 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). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

#### 5. Device Description:
Two subject devices are bundled into this 510(k) submission. The subject devices, the Nitrile Powder Free Examination Gloves and the Chemotherapy Nitrile Powder Free Examination Gloves, are single use, disposable devices intended for medical purposes that are worn on the examiner's hand to prevent contamination between patient and examiner. The gloves are made of nitrile rubber, powder free, ambidextrous with beaded cuff and tested for use with chemotherapy drugs. Inner surface of gloves undergoes surface treatment process to produce a smooth surface that facilitates the user in donning the gloves without using lubricant and donning powder on the glove surface. These qloves are offered in six sizes (XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL), and supplied in non-sterile state.
The two subject devices proposed are identical in terms of sizes, materials, color, specification, and process. The only difference between the two is the chemotherapy druq labeling.
