## Indications for Use
Micro Touch Denta Glove Nitrile Hydrasoft Patient Examination Gloves are intended for medical purposes that are worn on the examiners hands to prevent contamination between patient and examiner.
## Device Story
Non-sterile, single-use, powder-free nitrile butadiene rubber examination gloves; ambidextrous design with beaded cuff and straight fingers. Inner surface features polyacrylic polymer coating and HydraSoft (glycerine) coating to facilitate donning. Used in clinical settings by healthcare personnel to provide a barrier against contamination between patient and examiner. Device is passive; no electronic or mechanical components. Benefits include protection against cross-contamination and improved donning comfort via HydraSoft coating.
## Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Device performance verified against ASTM D6319-10 (dimensions, tensile strength, elongation), ASTM D5151-06 (freedom from holes), and ASTM D6124-06 (powder residual). Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993-5 (cytotoxicity), ISO 10993-10 (skin irritation and sensitization), and ISO 10993-11 (acute systemic toxicity).
## Technological Characteristics
Material: Nitrile butadiene rubber. Coating: Polyacrylic polymer and HydraSoft (glycerine). Design: Ambidextrous, beaded cuff, finger-textured. Sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL. Standards: ASTM D6319-10, ASTM D5151-06, ASTM D6124-06. Biocompatibility: ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10, ISO 10993-11. Non-sterile, single-use.
## 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 Robert Mahler:
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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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.
{1}------------------------------------------------
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); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); 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.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).
