Intended Use

The Caya® contoured diaphragm is indicated for the prevention of pregnancy in women who elect to use diaphragms as a method of contraception. It is recommended for use with a contraceptive gel.

Device Description

The Caya® contoured diaphragm is a contoured, flexible, single-sized, silicone elastomer cup for covering the cervix that is circumscribed by a rim encapsulating a nylon spring. The Caya contoured diaphragm has an anatomically shaped spring that has been designed to fit women representing a range of traditional diaphragm sizes.

AI/ML Overview

The document describes the Caya® contoured diaphragm and its clinical study to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device, the ORTHO® ALL-FLEX® Diaphragm.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document doesn't explicitly state "acceptance criteria" but rather describes a non-inferiority finding compared to a historical control group using the predicate device. The primary performance metric is the 6-month Kaplan-Meier cumulative typical-use pregnancy probability.

Acceptance Criterion (Implicit)Reported Device Performance (Caya® contoured diaphragm)
Non-inferiority in 6-month typical-use cumulative pregnancy probability compared to the ORTHO® ALL-FLEX® Diaphragm (historical control).The 6-month Kaplan-Meier cumulative typical-use pregnancy probability for all Caya users was 10.4 per 100 women (95% CI: 6.9, 14.0). The document explicitly states: "The rate for all SILCS users was non-inferior to the rate for all users of the ORTHO® ALL-FLEX® Diaphragm, using data from the historical control groups."
Clinical safety profile similar to the predicate device.The document states: "The single-sized Caya diaphragm has a similar clinical safety profile as the predicate device." (No specific quantitative metrics provided in this summary, but this was an outcome of the study.)
Acceptability and ease of use (no specific quantitative acceptance criteria mentioned, but these were study outcomes).These were study outcomes, but specific acceptance criteria or performance metrics are not detailed in this summary.
Biocompatibility testing in accordance with ISO 10993 (passed).Device passed.
Performance testing in accordance with ISO 8009 (passed).Device passed.
Cleaning validation (passed).Device passed.
Barrier effectiveness (pre-pivotal study finding).Reduced average number of progressively motile sperm per high powered field from 12.5 to 0 in a Phase I post-coital study.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Test Set (Pivotal Study): 450 couples recruited.
    • 300 couples randomized to Caya® contoured diaphragm (referred to as SILCS diaphragm) with BufferGel.
    • 150 couples randomized to Caya® contoured diaphragm with N-9 spermicide gel.
  • Data Provenance: The pivotal study for the Caya® contoured diaphragm was conducted at six sites in the United States. It was a prospective study. The historical control data for the predicate device was from a multi-center contraceptive study conducted by the National Institute for Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), likely also from the US.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications

This information is not provided in the document. For a contraceptive device's effectiveness study, the "ground truth" of pregnancy is typically established by medical diagnosis (e.g., urine/blood tests in a clinical setting by trained medical staff), not typically by "experts" in the way an imaging study would use radiologists. The document mentions "Study outcomes included pregnancy probability, safety, acceptability, diaphragm fit, and ease of use." Medical professionals at the study sites would have been responsible for diagnosing pregnancy and assessing other outcomes.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not provided beyond the general design of a randomized controlled trial. For pregnancy, the outcome is relatively clear. For safety or device fit/ease of use, the document doesn't detail any specific adjudication committee or method.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs. Without AI Assistance

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is a physical contraceptive diaphragm, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool. Therefore, the concept of "human readers improve with AI vs. without AI assistance" does not apply.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

No, a standalone algorithm performance study was not done. This device is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The primary ground truth for the pivotal study was pregnancy outcomes. This would have been established through clinical diagnosis by medical professionals at the study sites. Other outcomes included safety (e.g., adverse events diagnosed by medical staff), acceptability, diaphragm fit, and ease of use (likely assessed via patient questionnaires and clinician evaluations).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable as the Caya® contoured diaphragm is a physical device, not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a "training set" in the computational sense. The device underwent design, development, and evaluation, which involved iterative testing, but not a "training set" of data for an algorithm.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

This information is not applicable for the same reasons as #8. Design and development involved various engineering, biocompatibility, and preliminary clinical tests (like the Phase I post-coital study), but these are part of product development and validation, not "training an algorithm."

Device Description and Statement of Intended Use

Description: The Caya® contoured diaphragm is a contoured, flexible, single-sized, silicone elastomer cup for covering the cervix that is circumscribed by a rim encapsulating a nylon spring. The Caya contoured diaphragm has an anatomically shaped spring that has been designed to fit women representing a range of traditional diaphragm sizes.

1 Caya is a registered trademark of Kessel medintim GmbH of Frankfurt, Germany.

2 The Caya contoured diaphragm was known as the SILCS diaphragm throughout design, development, and evaluation.

{4}------------------------------------------------

As with the predicate device, the Caya contoured diaphragm is inserted by squeezing the rim at the sides to fold the diaphragm into a narrow profile. The Caya® contoured diaphragm has grip dimples along the sides of the rim that provide a tactile cue as to where to squeeze the diaphragm during insertion. The single-size diaphragm was developed and tested as the SILCS diaphragm.

Statement of Intended Use: The Caya® contoured diaphragm is indicated for the prevention of pregnancy in women who elect to use diaphragms as a method of contraception. It is recommended for use with a contraceptive gel.

Summary of Technological Characteristics

When inserted into the vagina, the Caya® contoured diaphragm functions as a mechanical barrier that prevents sperm from entering the cervical canal. The spring within the perimeter of the device causes the device to create a seal against the vaginal wall, covering the cervix and preventing sperm from entering the cervical canal. The silicone cup also serves as a repository for contraceptive gel. See Table 5.1 (below) for a comparison of the Caya" contoured diaphragm to its predicate device, the ORTHO® ALL-FLEX® Diaphragm.

Clinical Testing

In a Phase I post coital study of barrier effectiveness, the SILCS diaphragm3 used with Nonoynol-9 (N-9) spermicide reduced the average number of progressively motile sperm per high powered field from a baseline of 12.5 to 0, confirming that the SILCS diaphragm would likely perform well in an effectiveness study.

The Phase II/II contraceptive effectiveness study-conducted at six sites in the United States-recruited 450 couples to participate in the study. Couples were randomized to two groups: 300 to SILCS diaphragm used with BufferGel (BG-an investigational lactic-acid based contraceptive gel) and 150 to SILCS diaphragm with N-9 spermicide gel. Healthy, sexually active female volunteers 18–40 years old, at risk for pregnancy, and desiring contraception but at low risk for HIV/STIs, were considered for enrollment. Eligible volunteers were not pregnant, had normal menstrual cycles, were not actively desiring pregnancy and were willing to accept an unknown risk of pregnancy and engage in at least 4 acts of vaginal intercourse per cycle. Participants were followed for at least 190 days and 6 menstrual cycles, and were seen at enrollment and after menstrual cycles 1. 3. and 6. Study outcomes included pregnancy probability. safety, acceptability, diaphragm fit, and ease of use. Results on effectiveness and safety were compared to an historical control group who used the ORTHO® ALL-FLEX® Diaphragm with these gels.

The historical control for the SILCS diaphragm pivotal study was a multi-center contraceptive study conducted by the National Institute for Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). That study demonstrated that BG used with an ORTHO® ALL-FLEX® Diaphragm worked about as well as N-9 with that diaphragm (6-month typical-use cumulative probability of pregnancy rates of 10.1 per 100 women (95% CI 7.1-13.1) and 12.3 (95% CI 7.7-16.9), respectively. * The SILCS pivotal study was based on that previous study which was then used in the SILCS historical control analysis to compare the single-size SILCS diaphragm with the ORTHO® ALL-FLEX® Diaphragm on contraceptive effectiveness and safety.

In the SILCS pivotal study, 35 study pregnancies were reported which yielded 6-month Kaplan-Meier cumulative typical-use pregnancy probabilities per 100 women (with 95% confidence intervals) of 10.4 (6.9, 14.0), 9.6 (5.5, 13.6) and 12.5 (5.4, 19.5) for all SILCS with BG and SILCS with N-9, respectively. The rate for all SILCS users was non-inferior to the rate for all users of the ORTHO® ALL-FLEX® Diaphragm, using data from the historical control groups. The observed 6-month cumulative typical-use pregnancy probability was 10.4 per 100 women (95% CI: 6.9, 14.0). The observed 6-cycle cumulative perfect-use probability was 7.9 per 100 women (95% CI: 1.7. 14.0). Extrapolated to 12 months these estimates are for typical use: 17.8 per 100 women (95% CI: 12, 23.6) and for perfect use: 14.0 per 100 women (95% CI: 3.0, 23.6) (See Table 1 (below)).

Conclusion

Differences in technological characteristics between the Caya® contoured diaphragm and the predicate device raise no new safety concerns, and the devices have intended use. Results from the pivotal study show that the single-sized Caya diaphragm used with a contraceptive gel provided similar use effectiveness as results from a previously implemented study that evaluated the predicate device (ORTHO® ALL-FLEX® Diaphragm) used with the same contraceptive gels. The single-sized Caya diaphragm has a similar clinical safety profile as the predicate device. The above information demonstrates that the single-sized Caya diaphragm is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
