More Information

No
The device description and intended use are for a standard latex condom, with no mention of AI or ML technology. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
The device is indicated for contraceptive and prophylactic purposes (to prevent pregnancy and STDs), which are preventive rather than therapeutic.

No
Explanation: The device, a male latex condom, is intended for contraceptive and prophylactic purposes (preventing pregnancy and STDs). These are preventative and contraceptive functions, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical condom made of latex, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue that have been taken from the human body to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the Mercator male latex condom is a physical barrier device used for contraception and preventing the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. It is applied externally to the penis.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: The device does not involve the analysis of any biological samples from the body.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Mercator male latex condom does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Carter:

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.

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

2

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(i) 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 test data fails 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.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4616. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR §807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597, or at its Internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html".
