Elegant™ Advanced CompHort is a personal lubricant 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 polyurethane condoms. This product is not compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms.
Elegant™ Advanced CompHort is a line extension to the "Elegant™" range to extend claims. It is a non-sterile, water-based, pearly white, non-irritating, non-greasy, hormone-free, paraben-free, fragrance-free, moisturizing creams for vaginal dryness. It is a personal lubricant that provides lubrication, and it is intended for ongoing use and is not exclusively for use during intimate sexual activity. The formulation of Elegant™ Advanced CompHort contains purified water, polycarbophil, carbomer homopolymer type B, labrafac, emulfree P, sorbic acid and sodium hydroxide. Elegant™ Advanced CompHort is packaged in an aluminium tube and applied using a reusable plastic applicator marked to deliver 3ml of product. Elegant™ Advanced CompHort is to be sold as an over-the-counter (OTC) product.
The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from the U.S. FDA for a personal lubricant called "Elegant™ Advanced CompHort." It aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. The document focuses on physical, chemical, and biological testing rather than an AI/ML-based diagnostic device.
Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving an AI/ML device meets these criteria, including elements like data provenance, experts for ground truth, MRMC studies, and training set information, cannot be extracted from this document.
The document details the following for the personal lubricant:

Study Proving Device Meets Acceptance Criteria:
The document describes the following performance testing to demonstrate the device meets its specifications and is safe and effective:
-
Biocompatibility Testing: Performed in accordance with the 2020 FDA guidance document "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1."
- Tests Conducted:
- Cytotoxicity per ISO 10993-5
- Vaginal Irritation per ISO 10993-10
- Sensitization per ISO 10993-10
- Acute Systemic Toxicity per ISO 10993-11:2017
- Results: The device was found to be non-cytotoxic, non-irritating, non-sensitizing, and non-systemically toxic. A clinical test in women also reported no adverse events.
- Tests Conducted:
-
Shelf-Life Testing:
- Conditions: Conducted at 25°C/60% RH.
- Duration: Data generated up to 24 months.
- Results: Demonstrated that the device can maintain its specifications (as shown in Table 1) over the duration of a 24-month shelf-life.
-
Condom Compatibility Testing:
- Method: Evaluated in accordance with ASTM D7661-10 "Standard Test Method for Determining Compatibility of Personal Lubricants with Natural Rubber Latex Condoms."
- Results: The device is compatible with polyurethane condoms. It is not compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Sample size: Not explicitly stated in numerical terms (e.g., "N=XX samples"). The testing appears to be laboratory-based and possibly involved animal testing for biocompatibility before the clinical test mentioned for women.
- Data Provenance: Not specified regarding country of origin. The testing methods refer to internationally recognized standards (ISO, USP, ASTM), suggesting standard laboratory practices. The clinical test result ("clinically tested in women") implies prospective data collection, but no further details are given.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- This information is not applicable to this type of device and study. The testing relies on established physical, chemical, and biological test methods and standard specifications, rather than expert consensus on diagnostic image interpretation or similar.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable. This is not a study requiring adjudication of 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 is not an AI/ML diagnostic device.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
- The "ground truth" here is defined by the established physical, chemical, and microbiological specifications (e.g., pH range, viscosity range, absence of specific pathogens) and biological compatibility outcomes (non-irritating, non-cytotoxic, etc.) as determined by standardized laboratory test methods (e.g., USP, ISO, ASTM).
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device requiring a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device.

Dear Joshua Crist:
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 (the 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.

Summary of Performance Data:
Biocompatibility Testing
Biocompatibility studies were performed in accordance with the 2020 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'." The following biological evaluation tests have been conducted to assess the biocompatibility of the subject device:
- Cytotoxicity per ISO 10993-5 ●
- . Vaginal Irritation per ISO 10993-10
- Sensitization per ISO 10993-10 ●
- Acute Systemic Toxicity per ISO 10993-11:2017 .
{8}------------------------------------------------
The subject device was also clinically tested in women and no adverse events were reported. The results of this testing demonstrate that Elegant™ Advanced CompHort are noncytotoxic, non-irritating, non-sensitizing, and non-systemically toxic.
K231794 Page 5 of 5
Shelf-Life
Shelf-life testing has been conducted at 25°C/60% RH and data for the specifications identified in Table 1 have been generated up to 24 months. Results from shelf-life testing demonstrated that the device can maintain its specifications (as shown in Table 1) over the duration of a 24-month shelf-life.
Condom Compatibility
The compatibility of the subject device with natural rubber latex, polyisoprene, and polyurethane condoms was evaluated in accordance with ASTM D7661-10 "Standard Test Method for Determining Compatibility of Personal Lubricants with Natural Rubber Latex Condoms,". The results of the testing indicate that the subject device is compatible with polyurethane condoms. The subject device is not compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms.
Conclusion:
The results of the performance testing described above demonstrate Elegant™ Advanced CompHort for OTC use, is safe and effective for the proposed indications and substantially equivalent to the predicate device in regard to intended use, formulation, safety and fundamental technological characteristics. Any minor differences in formulation, technological characteristics or condom compatibility do not raise any new issues regarding safety or efficacy.

§ 884.5300 Condom.
(a)
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.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls) for condoms made of materials other than natural rubber latex, including natural membrane (skin) or synthetic.(2) Class II (special controls) for natural rubber latex condoms. The guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Labeling for Natural Rubber Latex Condoms Classified Under 21 CFR 884.5300” will serve as the special control.
