The Sheer Thin condom is used for contraception and for prophylactic purposes to help prevent pregnancy and the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases.
The condom is made of a natural rubber latex sheath, which completely covers the penis with a closely fitted membrane. This condom is straight shafted, nipple end condom having a nominal width of 52 mm, nominal length of 180 mm and nominal thickness of 0.060 mm.
This document is a 510(k) summary for a natural rubber latex condom, not an AI/ML device. Therefore, the requested information about acceptance criteria, study details, and AI/ML specific metrics (like MRMC studies, training set, and ground truth establishment) is not applicable to this submission.
The 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Trojan Ultra Thin Condom, K912901) based on material, design, and intended use, and conformance to ASTM Latex Condom Standard D-3492.
To directly answer the prompt components, given the context of this traditional medical device submission:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
| Acceptance Criteria (ASTM Standard D-3492) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Specific criteria for latex condoms (e.g., burst pressure, freedom from holes, dimensions, etc.) would be detailed in the full ASTM D-3492 standard. This summary document does not provide specific performance values for each criterion. | The device is stated to be "in conformance with the ASTM Latex Condom Standard D-3492," implying that it met all applicable criteria within that standard. |
2. Sample sized 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 in the 510(k) summary. Testing for conformance to ASTM standards would typically involve a prospective sample of manufactured condoms.
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. The ground truth for condom performance is established through physical and mechanical testing as per the ASTM standard, not expert review of subjective data.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. This is a traditional device where performance is measured objectively against a standard, not through expert adjudication.
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 device, so no MRMC study or AI assistance evaluation was performed.
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" for this device's performance would be the objective measurements and test results obtained from physical and mechanical testing of the condoms, demonstrating adherence to the specifications outlined in ASTM D-3492.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device, so there is no "training set."
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device.

K984488 Re: Sheer Thin - Natural Rubber Latex Condom Dated: December 16, 1998 Received: December 17, 1998 Regulatory Class: II 21 CFR 884.5300/Procode: 85 HIS
Dear Mr. Heintz:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
Please be advised that, as of March 25, 1998, labeling for latex condoms (21 CFR 884.5300 and 884.5310) must comply with Use Labeling for Latex Condoms: Expiration Dating, 21 CFR 801.435. Therefore, an expiration date, supported by test data developed under the conditions specified in 801.435(d), must be displayed prominently and legibly on condom labeling. For condoms with spermicidal lubricant, the effective shelf life of the spermicide must be compared with the shelf life of the condom and labeled with the expiration dates. Although supporting data is not to be provided in your 510(k) submission, 801.435(j) requires that you maintain this data and that it be available for inspection by FDA. Furthermore, 801.435(e) requires that if your real-time to confirm the shelf life estimated by the methods in 801.435(d), then you must relabel all product to reflect the actual shelf life. Condoms are not to be labeled with an expiration date that gives a shelf life more than five years.
