## Indications for Use

A medical glove is worn on the hand of healthcare and similar personnel to prevent contamination between healthcare personnel and the patient's body, fluids, waste or environment.

## Device Story

Cashmere Non-Sterile, Powder Free Nitrile Examination Gloves are protective barriers worn by healthcare personnel. The gloves are designed to prevent cross-contamination between the wearer and the patient's body, fluids, waste, or environment. They are used in clinical settings by healthcare staff. The device functions as a physical barrier; it is manufactured from nitrile material. The gloves are provided non-sterile and are powder-free to reduce potential irritation. The healthcare provider wears the gloves during patient examinations or procedures to maintain hygiene and infection control standards.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance data demonstrates compliance with ASTM D6319-00 and FDA 1000 ml watertight test. Results: Watertight (AQL 2.5%), tensile strength (15.2 MPa before aging, 19.7 MPa after aging), ultimate elongation (670% before aging, 760% after aging), and powder content (<2mg/glove). Biocompatibility testing (Primary Dermal Irritation and Guinea Pig Sensitization) passed.

## Technological Characteristics

Nitrile material; powder-free (<2mg/glove); dimensions: 240mm minimum length, varying palm widths; thickness: 0.10mm minimum (finger and palm). Meets ASTM D6319-00 standards. 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.

Dear Mr. Fong:

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. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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.

{4}------------------------------------------------

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); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 21 CFR Part 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594- 4618 . Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
