Bhd. · LZA · Apr 22, 2024 · General Hospital · SESE_ **Canonical URL:** https://fda.innolitics.com/device/K232319 ## Device Facts - **Applicant:** Ug Global Resources Sdn. Bhd. - **Product Code:** [LZA](/productcode/LZA.md) - **Decision Date:** Apr 22, 2024 - **Decision:** SESE - **Submission Type:** Traditional - **Regulation:** 21 CFR 880.6250 - **Device Class:** Class 1 - **Review Panel:** General Hospital ## Indications for Use Black Pearl Nitrile 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 Black Pearl Nitrile Examination Glove is a single-use, ambidextrous, black-colored nitrile glove with a beaded cuff. It is used in medical settings by clinicians to provide a barrier against contamination between the examiner and the patient. The device is manufactured to meet ASTM D6319-19 standards. It is provided non-sterile and is intended for over-the-counter use. The glove acts as a physical barrier; its use helps reduce the risk of cross-contamination during patient examinations. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Bench testing only. Performance verified against ASTM D6319-19 (dimensions, physical properties, freedom from holes) and ASTM D6124-06 (residual powder). Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993 standards, including skin irritation (ISO 10993-23), skin sensitization (ISO 10993-10), cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5), and acute systemic toxicity (ISO 10993-11). ## Technological Characteristics Material: Nitrile. Form factor: Ambidextrous, beaded cuff, black color. Standards: ASTM D6319-19 (physical/dimensional), ASTM D6124-06 (residual powder). Sterility: Non-sterile. Connectivity: None. Software: None. ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - Non-Sterile, Powder-Free, Nitrile Examination Gloves Blue ([K112012](/device/K112012.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

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 available 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.

at 37 ± 1 °C for 72 ± 2 h (Intradermal
induction - 72 h and 10 min, Topical
induction - 72 h and 05 min,
Challenge phase - 72 h and 10 min)
under sterile conditions. Solvent
controls were subjected to similar
extraction conditions.
Animals were divided into four
groups; G1 - five guinea pigs for polar

for polar test item extract, G3 - five
guinea pigs for non-polar solvent
control and G4 - ten guinea pigs for
non-polar test item extract. The fur
over the treatment sites was clipped
and shaved on the day of treatment,
prior to dosing on all the animals.
Induction of sensitization was a two-
stage procedure with intradermal
injections on day 0 (with Freund's
complete adjuvant (FCA), solvent
controls and extracts), followed by a
topical patch exposure on day 7 for
48 h.
On day 21, challenge patches were
applied for 24 h. Skin reaction

in vitro
Cytotoxicity | To evaluate the in
vitro cytotoxic
potential of the test

fibroblasts cells
using elution method | Non-Sterile, Powder
Free, Nitrile
Examination Gloves,
Black is a non-sterile
glove, intended for
medical purpose that
is worn on the
examiners hand to
prevent
contamination
between patient and
examiner. According
to ISO 10993-
1:2018,
this is classified as a
surface device
contacting skin, for
≤ 24 hours (limited
exposure) | The test item (both inner and outer
surfaces) was cut and extracted at a
ratio of 6 cm2 per mL in extraction
medium at 37 ± 1 °C for 24 ± 2 h.
Test item was extracted in 12 mL of
extraction medium at 37 ± 1 °C for 24
h and 15 minutes under aseptic
condition. Negative control (both
sides) was extracted in 7 mL of
extraction medium at 37 ± 1 °C for 24
h and 15 minutes. Positive control
(both sides) was extracted in 7 mL of
extraction medium at 37 ± 1 °C for 24
h and 15 minutes. Vehicle control
(MEM 05) was also subjected to the
same extraction condition.
Exponentially growing L-929 mouse
fibroblasts cells were seeded in 96-
well plate at 1 x 104 cells per well.
After 24 h, 1x MEM supplemented
with 10% heat inactivated foetal
bovine serum and 1%
penicillin/streptomycin solution
(complete growth medium) was
removed and replaced with a series
of six different dilution of the test item
extract ((Undiluted (100%), 1:2
dilution (50%), 1:4 dilution (25%), 1:8
dilution (12.5%), 1:16 dilution (6.25%)
and 1:32 dilution (3.125%)), medium
blank, vehicle, positive and negative
control extract. The cell cultures
were then incubated at 37 ± 1°C for
24 h with 5% CO2. After incubation,
the cells were subjected to qualitative
measurements viz., cytotoxicity was
graded based on the morphology of
the cells. | The cultures treated with the test
item extract at undiluted (neat
extract) (100%), 1:2
dilution (50%), 1:4 dilution
(25%), 1:8 dilution (12.5%)
showed complete destruction
of the cell layers (grade 4).
However, at dilutions 1:16
dilution (6.25%) and 1:32
dilution (3.125%) did not show
any cytotoxic response (grade
0). | Based upon the
results obtained in
this study and in
line with ISO
10993-5:2009, it
is concluded that
the given test
