## Indications for Use

A medical glove to be worn on the hand of the health care and similar personnel to prevent contamination between health care personnel and patient.

## Device Story

Barrier-Pro synthetic butadiene co-polymer examination glove; non-sterile, powder-free, green. Designed for use by healthcare personnel to provide a physical barrier against contamination during patient examinations. Device functions as a protective hand covering; manufactured from synthetic butadiene co-polymer. Tested for water-tightness (1,000 ml leak test) and biocompatibility (non-irritant, non-sensitizing). Output is the physical barrier provided to the clinician. Benefits include reduced risk of cross-contamination between healthcare workers and patients in clinical settings.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Includes physical property testing (tensile strength, elongation at break), water-tightness testing (1,000 ml leak test, 125 samples per size, 2.5% AQL), and biocompatibility testing (dermal irritation and sensitization). Residual powder content measured per ASTM D6124-00.

## Technological Characteristics

Material: Synthetic butadiene co-polymer. Form factor: Powder-free examination glove. Standards: Meets ASTM D3578-00 (except elongation at break). Dimensions: 242mm length, 0.08mm minimum thickness. Biocompatibility: Non-irritant, non-sensitizing. Sterilization: Non-sterile.

## 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.
