Intended Use
The Zeus™ Male Condom Applicator facilitates correct positioning (donning) of a male latex condom prior to sexual intercoursc. The condom is used for contraceptive and for prophylactic purposes (to help prevent pregnancy and the transmission of sexually transmitted infections).
Device Description
The Zeus™ Male Condom Applicator is a bell shaped pouch that is open at one end and closed at the other. It is molded from polyethylene plastic. The applicator is designed to hold a latex condom in place for correct donning onto an erect penis. All surfaces and edges of the applicator are rounded to prevent damage to condom. Silicone or water-based lubricant is added to the condom prior to packaging. Approximately 2.5 inches of the condom is unrolled and lies nestled, but not firmly held, within the walls of the applicator. The width of the applicator at the point where the condom is attached is 54mm thus enabling a 52mm (nominal width) condom to be held prior to use without imparting a permanent stretch to the condom. The applicator and condom are packaged and sealed in an aluminum foil wrapper. The applicator and attached condom are removed together from the package prior to use. The user cups the device in either hand and then, during the application process, squeezes the edges of the applicator which forces the sides to bellow-out, and thus opens the attached condom The device is centered over the head of the penis and is lowered to a point that the penis makes contact with the interior condom wall. The user then uses his thumb to unroll the condom from the applicator and onto the penis. The user continues to unroll the bead as far down the penis as possible. The applicator is removed from the penis and discarded (prior to intercourse).

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical function and material properties of a physical applicator, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No
The device is a condom applicator, intended to facilitate correct positioning of a condom for contraceptive and prophylactic (STI prevention) purposes, not for treating a disease or medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device is a condom applicator, designed to facilitate the correct positioning of a male latex condom. Its intended use is for contraception and prophylaxis, not for diagnosing any medical condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "bell shaped pouch that is open at one end and closed at the other" and "molded from polyethylene plastic," indicating it is a physical hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the Zeus™ Male Condom Applicator is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. This device is used externally on the penis.
  • IVD devices are intended to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease. This device is a mechanical aid for applying a condom for contraception and STI prevention.
  • The intended use and device description clearly outline its function as a tool for condom application. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.

The device's function is purely mechanical and related to the physical application of a barrier device (the condom).

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The Zeus™ Male Condom Applicator facilitates the correct orientation of the condom with respect to the penis and therefore contributes to more effective and correct donning of the condom. Once the condom is positioned on the penis and prior to intercourse, the applicator is discarded.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Stability: The applicator with attached condom was subjected to accelerated aging conditions to determine the potential shelf-life (expiration date) of the product. Tests were performed on three lots of condoms attached to the applicator after 7 days @70°C and 90 days @50℃. The applicator was also evaluated after conditioning. The results of this study show that both applicator and condoms remained compliant with ASTM D3492 airburst requirements after aging.

Intended Use of the Device:

The Zeus™ Male Condom Applicator facilitates the correct orientation of the condom with respect to the penis and therefore contributes to more effective and correct donning of the condom. Once the condom is positioned on the penis and prior to intercourse, the applicator is discarded.

Technological Characteristics:

The Zeus™ applicator is designed as a SINGLE USE ONLY device. After donning of the condom, the applicator will be discarded; the condom will also be discarded after intercourse. That precaution is included in the Instructions for Use.

Although different in design and appearance, this product has the same basic technological function as the prodicate device identified above. Condom(s) used with the device shall have 510(k) clearance and shall conform to ASTM Latex Condom Standard D3492.

Stability: The applicator with attached condom was subjected to accelerated aging conditions to determine the potential shelf-life (expiration date) of the product. Tests were performed on three lots of condoms attached to the applicator after 7 days @70°C and 90 days @50℃. The applicator was also evaluated after conditioning. The results of this study show that both applicator and condoms remained compliant with ASTM D3492 airburst requirements after aging.
