Device Description

AI/ML Overview

This document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for three brands of male natural rubber latex condoms manufactured by Remed Pharma. It is not a study report or a technical document detailing acceptance criteria and performance data for a medical device in the way you've outlined.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information (acceptance criteria, study details, sample sizes, expert qualifications, etc.) because this document does not contain that level of detail. It is a regulatory approval letter based on a submission that would have contained such data, but the data itself is not present in this letter.

The letter primarily focuses on:

Confirming the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
Regulatory classification (Class II).
General controls and specific regulations applicable to the device (e.g., GMP, labeling requirements for expiration dating).
The intended use of the device itself (contraception and prevention of STDs).

To answer your questions, one would need the actual 510(k) submission and the test reports referenced within, not just the FDA's clearance letter.

Remed Pharma c/o E. J. Smith Consultant Smith Associates P.O. Box 4341 Crofton, MD 21114 Re: K993404 Remed Pharma Male Natural Rubber Latex Condom Preventor, Lucky Boy, and Summit Dated: December 20, 1999 Received: December 21, 1999 Regulatory Class: II 21 CFR §884.5300/Procode: 85 HIS

Dear Mr. Smith:

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 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 earlier of the two 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.
