## Indications for Use

A patient examination glove is a disposable device intended for medical purposes that is worn on the examiner's hands or finger to prevent contamination between patient and examiner.

## Device Story

Disposable powdered nitrile examination glove; worn on examiner's hands or fingers; acts as physical barrier to prevent cross-contamination between patient and examiner. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals. Device performance verified via watertight testing (1000 ml), physical property testing (tensile strength, elongation), and biocompatibility testing (dermal irritation, sensitization).

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance data includes watertight (1000 ml) testing, physical property testing (tensile strength, ultimate elongation before/after aging), and powder content analysis. Biocompatibility testing included Primary Dermal Irritation and Guinea Pig Sensitization (Buehler) tests. All results met ASTM D6319-00a53 and FDA requirements.

## Technological Characteristics

Material: Nitrile rubber; powdered with absorbable dusting powder. Dimensions: 240 mm minimum length; various palm widths. Thickness: 0.08 mm minimum. Standards: ASTM D6319-00a53. Biocompatibility: Passed Primary Dermal Irritation and Guinea Pig Sensitization tests.

## 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. Ms. Chooi 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}------------------------------------------------

### Page 2 - Ms. Chooi Fong

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), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You mav obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
