Powderfree Nitrile Examination Gloves Coated with Allogel®, LZA, Class 1, that meets or exceeds all the applicable requirements of ASTM standards and FDA water leak test.
#### 5. Device Description
The device is a glove with five fingers made from natural rubber that covers the hand on both sides up to the wrist, using a dip technology manufacturing process. The gloves are ambidextrous and therefore can be donned on either hand. The gloves are non sterile and for single use only, to be discarded after each examination is complete. The glove acts as a barrier between the examiner and the subject being examined in order to prevent contamination between the examiner and the subject. The physical properties of the glove are identified in paragraph 9 below, as compared to those required by ASTM D 3578 version 2010.

#### 8. Substantial Equivalence
The substantial equivalence to the predicate device is based on non clinical assessment data. A comparison was made of the physical properties and characteristics of both devices for the following attributes, which were found to be substantially similar:
- a. A glove made from natural or synthetic rubber
- b. Use and description
c. Physical properties such as, length, width, thickness, tensile strength, freedom from holes, and residual powder. Although the predicate device made from synthetic rubber has no residual natural rubber proteins, the applicant device made of natural rubber complies with the requirements of ASTM D3578 for the maximum allowable residual proteins. The tensile strength and elongation of the applicant device was found to be superior. The thickness of the applicant device was marginally more than the predicate device, but this is normal for latex examination gloves used for medical purposes and it is within the tolerance levels for such devices.
d. Inner coating made from Allogel®

#### 11. Substantial equivalence summary discussion & conclusion
The gloves covered by this application are deemed to be substantially equivalent to the predicate, K110102, Powderfree Nitrile Examination gloves coated with Allogel®. Comparisons between the applicant and this predicate device indicate substantial equivalence, in that both:
- 1. Have the same indication of use
- 2. Are Powderfree Patient Examination Gloves
- 3. Do not show any adverse results in bio compatibility tests
- 4. Are non sterile and are sold over the counter
- 5. Are coated with Allogel® on the inside
- 6. Have similar performance specifications and physical properties
- 7. Meet pin hole AQL requirements as per ASTM D5151 version 2006
- 8. Are ambidextrous
9. Are manufactured using a continuous linked chain dip technology with the usage of similar chemicals
- 10. Use a primary raw material that has properties of Rubber (natural/synthetic)
- 11. Have similar shelf life
The data and explanations provided above, both for the applicate device, illustrates that there are no substantial differences in the use, physical properties and characteristics of the devices. We can therefore conclude that the two devices are substantially equivalent. The applicant devise is therefore as safe, as effective and performs as well as, or better than the predicate device.
