K-Y® Brand Ultra Gel™ is principally intended as personal lubricant to supplement the body's own natural lubricating fluids, to moisturize, relieve friction and to enhance the ease and comfort of intimate sexual activity. This lubricant may be safely applied to vaginal, anal or penile tissue for lubrication, and moisturization purposes. It is also compatible with latex condoms.
Personal Lubricant compatible with latex condoms, helps enhance intimacy.
K-Y® Brand Ultra Gel™ is a non-sterile water- based personal lubricant designed to supplement the body's own natural lubrication fluids. This formula is a clear, non-irritating, non-greasy, non-staining, high viscosity liquid gel. This highly lubricous product may be used with or without a latex condom during intimate sexual activity. K-Y® Brand Ultra Gel™ is not a contraceptive or spermicide. It is however, compatible with latex condoms as demonstrated in Condom Compatibility Testing conducted according the standards defined by ASTM D 3492.
This K-Y® Brand Ultra Gel™ Personal Lubricant 510(k) summary does not contain the level of detail typically found in a clinical study report for a diagnostic device. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through pre-clinical and limited clinical testing, rather than establishing specific performance metrics against a defined acceptance criterion with a dedicated study.
However, based on the provided text, I can infer the "acceptance criteria" relate to performance as safe and effective, and "substantially equivalent" to the predicate device. The "study" refers to the body of testing conducted to support this claim.
Here's an attempt to structure the information based on your request, with significant caveats due to the nature of the provided document:

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth
Not applicable in the context of this 510(k) summary. "Ground truth" as understood in AI/imaging devices (e.g., expert consensus on medical images) is not relevant here. The "truth" is established by laboratory measurements, biological responses, and consumer feedback against defined criteria.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. The tests described are laboratory analyses (e.g., coefficient of friction, biocompatibility, ASTM standards) and direct human or consumer responses (irritation, consumer preference). There is no "test set" requiring adjudication by multiple experts in the sense of a diagnostic interpretation.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No. This type of study (MRMC) is relevant for diagnostic devices where human readers interpret medical images or data, and its goal is to assess the impact of AI assistance on human performance. K-Y® Brand Ultra Gel™ is a personal lubricant, not a diagnostic device.
6. Standalone Performance Study (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop)
No. This concept applies to AI algorithms. K-Y® Brand Ultra Gel™ is a physical product, not an algorithm. Its performance is evaluated through physical and biological interactions, as well as user experience.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for the various tests can be categorized as follows:
- Preclinical Biocompatibility (Non-irritation, non-sensitizing, no toxicity): Laboratory measurements and biological assays (e.g., cytotoxicity tests, sensitization tests, systemic toxicity tests) following established GLP guidelines.
- Human Irritation Studies: Direct human response/observation by trained medical professionals (e.g., dermatologists or clinical researchers) assessing skin reactions.
- Condom Compatibility: Adherence to the specified ASTM D 3492 standard, which involves physical testing methods to evaluate material integrity and performance.
- Lubricity: Objective laboratory measurement of the coefficient of friction.
- Consumer-Use Testing (Texture/Consistency, Moisturizing Properties): Subjective consumer feedback and preference ratings, likely via questionnaires or surveys, quantified statistically.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. The concept of a "training set" is relevant for machine learning algorithms. K-Y® Brand Ultra Gel™ is a chemical formulation, not an AI model.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
Not applicable. There is no training set for this type of product.
