Intended Use

The Youjia unscented tampon with plastic applicators are inserted into the vagina and used to absorb menstrual and other vaginal discharge.

Device Description

Youjia unscented tampon with plastic applicators are composed of an absorbent pledget (tampon), a withdrawal cord and an applicator. The pledgets have a cylindrical, bullet-like shape and the applicators have a smooth, rounded tip to ease insertion. These tampons are provided in three absorbencies: regular (6-9g), super, (9-12g), and super plus (12-15g). Each tampon is individually wrapped and packaged. The Youjia unscented tampon with plastic applicators are provided non-sterile and for single use only.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the FDA 510(k) clearance for the Youjia unscented tampon with plastic applicators. However, it does not contain the specific detailed acceptance criteria and study results in the format requested for an AI/device performance study. The document focuses on the substantial equivalence of tampons, which are physical medical devices, not AI software.

Therefore, many of the requested categories (e.g., sample size for test set, data provenance, number of experts, adjudication method, MRMC study, standalone performance, type of ground truth, training set size, how training ground truth was established) are not applicable or not provided in the context of this device because it's a physical product, not an AI algorithm.

Below, I will extract the information that is present and indicate where requested information is not applicable or not provided in this document.

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document states that "The sponsor completed performance testing consistent with the FDA guidance document: Menstrual Tampons and Pads: Information for Premarket Notification Submissions (510(k)s) issued on July 27, 2005." It also mentions "pre-defined acceptance criteria" for physical performance testing, but the actual specific criteria values and the reported device performance values are not detailed in this summary.

Acceptance Criteria CategoryReported Device Performance
Biocompatibility
CytotoxicityMet (demonstrated as biocompatible)
SensitizationMet (demonstrated as biocompatible)
IrritationMet (demonstrated as biocompatible)
Acute Systemic ToxicityMet (demonstrated as biocompatible)
Extraction testing (USP <661>) for colorantsCompleted and supports safety
Physical Performance Testing (in-house methods)
AppearanceMeets pre-defined acceptance criteria (specifics not given)
DimensionsMeets pre-defined acceptance criteria (specifics not given)
Compatibility of tampon and applicatorMeets pre-defined acceptance criteria (specifics not given)
Applicator integrityMeets pre-defined acceptance criteria (specifics not given)
Applicator expulsion forceMeets pre-defined acceptance criteria (specifics not given)

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

This information is not provided. The document mentions "performance testing," but does not specify sample sizes or data provenance for these tests. It does state that the subject tampon is identical to tampons cleared under K122603, and the sponsor leveraged testing from that previous clearance, as well as biocompatibility data from K190218.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an AI algorithm requiring expert ground truth for image/data interpretation.

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

Not applicable. This is a physical device.

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 is a physical device, not an AI algorithm.

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

Not applicable. This is a physical device.

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

For biocompatibility, the ground truth is established by standard biological assays (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity) and chemical extraction tests. For physical performance, the ground truth is against pre-defined physical specifications/criteria.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an AI algorithm.

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

Not applicable. This is a physical device.

Dear Emma Xing:

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.

The Youjia unscented tampon with plastic applicators and predicate devices have similar indications for use statements and have the same intended use. The differences in technological characteristics between the Youjia unscented tampon with plastic applicators and predicate devices do not raise different safety and effectiveness questions.

Summary of Performance Testing:

The sponsor completed performance testing consistent with the FDA guidance document: Menstrual Tampons and Pads: Information for Premarket Notification Submissions (510(k)s) issued on July 27, 2005. As the subject tampon is identical to the tampons cleared under K122603 (Ontex International), the sponsor leveraged testing on the K122603 tampons to support the performance of the proposed Youjia unscented tampon with plastic applicators.

Biocompatibility

Biocompatibility studies were performed in accordance with the FDA guidance "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices -Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process" issued in 2016 and the ISO 10993 standards, as follows:

  • Cytotoxicity
  • Sensitization ●
  • Irritation ●
  • Acute Systemic Toxicity ●

The results of these studies demonstrated that the subject device is biocompatible. In addition, biocompatibility data from K190218 was leveraged to support the subject applicator. Extraction testing per USP <661> was completed to evaluate the safety of the colorants used in the applicator.

Physical performance testing

The following physical assessments were performed on the applicators per in house

{7}------------------------------------------------

methods with predefined acceptance criteria:

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

The results of these tests demonstrated that the subject device meets its pre-defined acceptance criteria.

Conclusion:

The Youjia unscented tampon with plastic applicators are substantially equivalent to the proposed predicate device.
