## Indications for Use

Latex Surgical Gloves are intended for use in environments within hospitals and other healthcare facilities. The gloves are appropriate for use during invasive and non-invasive medical procedures requiring sterility. They are intended to be worn by operating room personnel to protect a surqical wound from contamination.

## Device Story

Triflex Select is a sterile, powder-free, natural rubber latex surgical glove. Used by operating room personnel in hospitals and healthcare facilities to protect surgical wounds from contamination during invasive and non-invasive procedures. The device acts as a physical barrier between the clinician and the patient. It is manufactured with a polymer coating and meets specific protein labeling claims (≤ 50 mcg total water extractable protein).

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing included primary skin irritation (non-irritating), guinea pig maximization (no sensitization), ultimate elongation and tensile strength (exceeds ASTM D3577-01), barrier defects (exceeds 21 CFR 800.20 and ASTM D3577-01, AQL 1.0), and residual powder levels (ASTM D6124-01, < 2 mg per glove).

## Technological Characteristics

Natural rubber latex surgical glove with polymer coating. Dimensions and physical properties meet ASTM D3577-01. Residual powder levels meet ASTM D6124-01. Protein content ≤ 50 mcg. Sterile.

## 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.

Trade/Device Name: Sterile, Latex, Powder-Free Surgeons Glove with Protein Labeling Claim of 50mcg or Less of Total Water Extractable Protein

Regulation Number: 21 CFR 878.4460 Regulation Name: Surgeon's Glove Regulatory Class: I Product Code: KGO Dated: May 24, 2007 Received: May 25, 2007

Dear Ms. Hoyd:

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.

{3}------------------------------------------------

Page 2 - Ms. Hoyd

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 may 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 (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
