Intended Use

The BiuBiu tampon is inserted into the vagina and used to absorb menstrual and other vaginal discharge.

Device Description

The BiuBiu tampon is composed of an absorbent pledget (tampon), a withdrawal cord, and an applicator. The pledgets (cleared under K090819) have a cylindrical, bullet-like shape and the applicators have a smooth, rounded tip to ease insertion. The barrel of the applicator has a no-slip grip design to help hold the tampon tightly. Each tampon is individually wrapped and packaged. There are three versions of the BiuBiu tampon with different absorbencies: regular, super and super plus. Each version has a different color applicator. The BiuBiu tampon is provided non-sterile and for single use only.

AI/ML Overview

This is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (BiuBiu Tampon), which establishes substantial equivalence to a predicate device. It does not describe a clinical study comparing the device to acceptance criteria in the way a clinical trial for a novel AI or diagnostic device would.

Therefore, many of the requested elements (e.g., sample size for test set, data provenance, number of experts, adjudication method, MRMC study, standalone performance, training set sample size, ground truth for training set) are not applicable or not provided in this document as they pertain to clinical studies typically conducted for new diagnostic or AI devices.

However, I can extract information related to the device's non-clinical performance and acceptance criteria based on the provided text.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria for each test are "predefined" but the specific numerical criteria are not detailed in this summary. The summary states that the tests were performed and the results demonstrate safety and effectiveness.

Test TypeAcceptance Criteria (Not explicitly quantified in summary)Reported Device Performance
BiocompatibilityNon-cytotoxic, non-irritating, non-sensitizingThe applicator was demonstrated to be non-cytotoxic, non-irritating, and non-sensitizing.
Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5)Non-cytotoxicNon-cytotoxic
Vaginal Irritation (ISO 10993-10)Non-irritatingNon-irritating
Skin Sensitization (ISO 10993-10)Non-sensitizingNon-sensitizing

Compatibility of tampon and applicatorProper fit and functionTested (details not provided)
Applicator integrityMaintains structural integrityTested (details not provided)
Applicator expulsion forceWithin specified force range for proper tampon expulsionTested (details not provided)

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Sample Size for Test Set: Not specified for any of the non-clinical tests.
  • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin for the non-clinical test data. It refers to "in house methods," suggesting internal testing by the manufacturer (Qingdao Youjia Hygiene Technology Co., Ltd, China). The data is generated prospectively as part of product development and submission.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

Not applicable. These are non-clinical, laboratory-based tests. No experts are used to establish ground truth in the context of clinical interpretation.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable. This is not a clinical study requiring adjudication of expert interpretations.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

Not applicable. This device is a menstrual tampon, not an AI or diagnostic device that involves human readers or AI assistance.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Not applicable. This device is a menstrual tampon, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

For the non-clinical performance tests, the "ground truth" (or reference standard) is typically defined by:

  • Biocompatibility: Established scientific standards and protocols outlined in ISO 10993 series and FDA guidance, ensuring materials do not cause adverse biological reactions.
  • Physical Performance: Predefined engineering and design specifications for the device's physical attributes and functionality.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This device is not an AI algorithm that requires a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable. This device is not an AI algorithm that requires a training set.

Dear Jessie You:

Re:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.

8. Non-Clinical Performance Data

The pledget components of the BiuBiu tampon were cleared under K090819, and remain unchanged. Therefore, data on the performance of the pledgets, consistent with the FDA guidance document: Menstrual Tampons and Pads: Information for Premarket Notification Submissions (510(k)s), was leveraged from K090819 to support the performance of the BiuBiu Tampon pledgets.

The following non-clinical performance tests were performed on the applicator component of the BiuBiu tampon:

Biocompatibility

Biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-1:2009 and FDA guidance document Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process."

  • Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5:2009) .
  • Vaginal Irritation (ISO 10993-10:2010)
  • Skin Sensitization (ISO 10993-10:2010) .

The applicator was demonstrated to be non-cytotoxic, non-irritating, and non-sensitizing.

Physical performance testing

The following physical assessments were performed on the BiuBiu tampon applicator per in house methods with predefined acceptance criteria:

  • Appearance
  • Dimensions ●
  • Compatibility of tampon and applicator ●
  • Applicator integrity .
  • Applicator expulsion force ●

9. Conclusion

The results of the performance testing described above demonstrate that the BiuBiu Tampon is as safe and effective as the predicate device and supports a determination of substantial equivalence.

§ 884.5470 Unscented menstrual tampon.

(a)
Identification. An unscented menstrual tampon is a device that is a plug made of cellulosic or synthetic material that is inserted into the vagina and used to absorb menstrual or other vaginal discharge. This generic type of device does not include menstrual tampons treated with scent (i.e., fragrance materials) or those with added antimicrobial agents or other drugs.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
