Intended Use
K-Y® Brand Liquibeads® Vaginal Moisturizer is a personal lubricant for over-the-counter use, for vaginal application, intended to moisturize and lubricate, to enhance the ease and comfort of intimate sexual activity and supplement the body's natural lubrication. This product is compatible with natural rubber latex, polyisoprene, and polyurethane condoms. The product is delivered by an applicator.
Device Story
K-Y Brand Liquibeads Vaginal Moisturizer is a non-sterile, anhydrous silicone-based personal lubricant. The lubricant is contained within a gelatin-based ovule shell (gelatin NF, glycerin USP, water USP). The device is administered intravaginally using a single-use, disposable applicator. The product is intended for over-the-counter use to provide vaginal moisturization and lubrication, enhancing comfort during intimate sexual activity. It is compatible with natural rubber latex, polyisoprene, and polyurethane condoms. The device functions by delivering the silicone fill mass to the vaginal environment, where it supplements natural lubrication.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical evidence includes a human repeat insult patch test (HRIPT) demonstrating no contact sensitization. An in-home consumer use study confirmed the device provides vaginal moisturization. Non-clinical testing included biocompatibility studies (in vitro cytotoxicity, systemic toxicity in mice, contact sensitization in guinea pigs, and vaginal irritation in rabbits) conducted per ISO 10993 and GLP standards, showing the device is non-cytotoxic, non-sensitizing, and non-irritating. Condom compatibility testing confirmed compatibility with natural rubber latex, polyisoprene, and polyurethane condoms.
Technological Characteristics
Anhydrous silicone fill mass encapsulated in a gelatin shell (gelatin NF, glycerin USP, water USP). Delivered via single-use disposable applicator. Tested for biocompatibility per ISO 10993. Shelf-life stability testing performed.
Indications for Use
Indicated for over-the-counter use by individuals requiring vaginal moisturization and lubrication to enhance comfort during intimate sexual activity and supplement natural lubrication. Compatible with natural rubber latex, polyisoprene, and polyurethane condoms.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A condom is a sheath which completely covers the penis with a closely fitting membrane. The condom is used for contraceptive and for prophylactic purposes (preventing transmission of sexually transmitted infections). The device may also be used to collect semen to aid in the diagnosis of infertility.

| Intended Use | K-Y® Brand Liquibeads® Vaginal Moisturizer is a personal lubricant<br>for over-the-counter use. for vaginal application, intended to<br>moisturize and lubricate, to enhance the ease and comfort of intimate<br>sexual activity and supplement the body's natural lubrication. This<br>product is compatible with natural rubber latex. polyisoprene, and<br>polyurethane condoms. The product is delivered by an applicator. |
| Technological<br>Characteristics | The subject device. K-Y® Brand Liquibeads® Vaginal Moisturizer, and<br>the predicate device. K-Y® Brand Intrigue® have the same intended<br>use but have different technological characteristics as the subject<br>device encapsulates the personal lubricant in an ovule. |
| Biocompatibility<br>Review & Testing | The subject device varies from the cleared device only in the fact that<br>it is encapsulated in a gelatin shell and is inserted into the vagina by<br>means of a single-use, disposable applicator. At the concentrations<br>present in the formula, all ingredients are considered safe for human<br>use under the anticipated exposure conditions. In addition, all of the<br>ingredients have been used in legally marketed devices. The use of<br>these ingredients in the subject device raises no new questions of<br>safety or effectiveness. |
| | Studies of vaginal and penile irritation in rabbits were conducted using<br>the fill mass of the subject device. The results showed that the fill<br>mass is non-irritating to genital tissue. |
| | Four additional biocompatibility studies were conducted on the subject<br>device. The test article evaluated in each study consisted of a mixture<br>of the Liquibeads® ovule and 0.9% sodium chloride. The endpoints<br>evaluated included in vitro cytotoxicity. systemic toxicity in mice,<br>contact sensitization in guinea pigs, and vaginal irritation in rabbits.<br>Each study was conducted in accordance with GLP requirements and<br>the applicable ISO 10093 Standard. From the results obtained, it can<br>be concluded that the subject device, K-Y® Brand Liquibeads®<br>Vaginal Moisturizer, is not cytotoxic, does not elicit systemic toxicity.<br>is not a contact sensitizer, and is not irritating to vaginal tissue. |
| Performance Data<br>-Clinical | A human repeat insult patch test was conducted to evaluate the safety<br>of the fill mass of subject device. The study showed the product did<br>not induce responses indicative of contact sensitization. |
| | Results from an in-home consumer use test show that K-Y® Brand<br>Liquibeads® Vaginal Moisturizer provides vaginal moisturization. |
| Performance Data<br>-Non Clinical | Condom compatibility testing demonstrates that K-Y® Brand<br>Liquibeads® Vaginal Moisturizer is compatible with natural rubber<br>latex, polyisoprene, and polyurethane condoms. |
| | Routine testing demonstrated that the product will remain stable for<br>the labeled shelf-life. |
| Conclusion | The subject device, K-Y® Brand Liquibeads® Vaginal Moisturizer is<br>substantially equivalent to the predicate device, K-Y® Brand Intrigue®. |
