## Intended Use

The Biogel® PI OrthoPro® Brown Surgical Glove is a disposable device made of non-latex (polyisoprene) colored brown, that is intended to be worn on the hands, usually in a surgical setting, to provide a barrier against potentially infectious material and other contaminants.

## Device Story

Biogel® PI OrthoPro® Brown Surgical Glove is a sterile, powder-free, non-latex polyisoprene surgical glove. Designed for use in surgical settings by healthcare professionals to provide a barrier against infectious materials and contaminants. Features include brown pigmentation, increased thickness compared to predicate, and a slightly curved former with an independent/displaced thumb for improved ergonomics. Device is worn on hands; provides physical barrier protection. Benefits include non-latex composition to avoid natural rubber latex allergies while maintaining surgical-grade barrier performance.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data was required. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, including primary skin irritation, ISO closed patch sensitization, physical properties, dimensions, freedom from holes, and residual powder testing, all meeting ASTM D3577 standards.

## Technological Characteristics

Material: Polyisoprene. Design: Powder-free, brown-pigmented, sterile, slightly curved former with independent/displaced thumb. Sterilization: Radiation (10^-6 SAL). Compliance: ASTM D3577 (dimensions, physical properties, powder residual), 21 CFR 800.20 (freedom from holes), ISO 10993 (biocompatibility).

## Regulatory Identification

A non-powdered surgeon's glove is a device intended to be worn on the hands of operating room personnel to protect a surgical wound from contamination. A non-powdered surgeon's glove does not incorporate powder for purposes other than manufacturing. The final finished glove includes only residual powder from manufacturing.

- Slightly Curved Former with Independent/Displaced thumb ●
## Intended Use/Indication for Use:

The Biogel® PI OrthoPro® Brown Surgical Glove is a disposable device made of non-latex (polyisoprene) colored brown, that is intended to be worn on the hands, usually in a surgical setting, to provide a barrier against potentially infectious material and other contaminants.

## Technological Characteristics:

The Biogel® PI OrthoPro® Brown Surgical Glove is substantially equivalent to the Polyisoprene Non-Latex Sterile Powder-Free Surgeon's Glove (K050184). All of the assessed devices have similar indications for use, materials, product design, labeling claims and method of operation.

The difference in the proposed device, Biogel® PI OrthoPro® Brown Surgical Glove is the thickness, a slight change to the former and the addition of the brown colorant.

Dear Ms.Bunn:

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 ffor 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. 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 If (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.
