This is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device, which seeks to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than fulfilling specific acceptance criteria through a clinical study with detailed performance metrics. Therefore, many of the requested elements (like sample sizes for test/training sets, number/qualifications of experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or specific quantitative performance metrics against acceptance criteria) are not typically included or required in this type of submission.
However, based on the provided text, I can extract and infer the following:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
| Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from Predicate Equivalence) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Biocompatibility: | |
| - Not a contact sensitizing agent | - FDS Intimate Lubricant and FDS Warming Lubricant were not considered to be contact sensitizing agents (based on ISO 10993 and G95-1 studies). |
| - No systemic toxicity | - FDS Intimate Lubricant and FDS Warming Lubricant were not associated with systemic toxicity (based on ISO 10993 and G95-1 studies). |
| - No acute vaginal mucosal irritation | - FDS Intimate Lubricant did not have any significant effect on cell viability and tissue morphology in the Acute Vaginal Mucosal Irritation Assay. - FDS Intimate Warming Lubricant induced a decrease of cell viability after 24 hours of contact and showed histological alterations after 10 minutes of contact in the same assay. (This indicates some irritation, but the submission still declares substantial equivalence, implying it was within acceptable limits compared to predicates or deemed clinically insignificant for the intended use given predicate equivalence for similar warming lubricants). |
| - No acute eye irritation | - FDS Intimate Lubricant was found to be a non-irritant in the Acute Eye Irritation Assay. - FDS Intimate Warming Lubricant was found to be very slightly irritant and induced histological alterations after 10 minutes of contact. (Similar to vaginal irritation, some irritation was noted, but was likely considered acceptable given predicate equivalence and "very slightly irritant" finding). |
| Condom Compatibility (Latex): | |
| - Compatible with latex condoms (per ASTM D 3492) | - FDS Intimate Lubricant and FDS Intimate Warming Lubricant compatible with latex condoms as demonstrated in Condom Compatibility Testing conducted according to ASTM D 3492. (Results are compared against water-treated controls and KY Jelly predicate). |
| Consumer Perceptions/Performance Claims: | |
| - Non-Messy. Convenient Pump! | - Evaluated in an In-Home Consumer Use Study against this claim. Results not explicitly detailed beyond stating statistical analysis was performed. |
| - Warming Intimate Lubricant | - Evaluated in an In-Home Consumer Use Study against this claim. Results not explicitly detailed beyond stating statistical analysis was performed. |

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance
- Preclinical Testing: The preclinical tests (Biocompatibility, Condom Compatibility, Vaginal Mucosal Irritation, Eye Irritation) were conducted in a laboratory setting. No specific sample sizes for these in-vitro tests are provided beyond "duplicate cultures" for some cell viability assays. The provenance is "an outside laboratory, in compliance with Good Laboratory Practices (GLPs)." This implies a controlled, prospective study environment for the tests.
- Human Repeated Insult Patch Test: Not specified.
- In-Home Consumer Use Study: Not specified. The provenance is "an independent market research firm." This would be a prospective study.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
Not applicable. This submission relies on laboratory test results (e.g., cell viability, physical integrity of condoms), and consumer survey responses, not expert human interpretation of medical images or data requiring ground truth establishment by experts in that sense.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
Not applicable. The tests are primarily objective measurements (e.g., cell viability, strength tests for condoms) or consumer feedback.
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
No. This device is a personal lubricant, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or therapeutic device. Such a study would not be relevant.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This question is not applicable as the device is not an algorithm or AI. The performance studies are for a physical product (lubricant).
7. The type of ground truth used
- Biocompatibility: Laboratory assay results (e.g., MTT assay for cell viability, histological analysis for tissue alteration).
- Condom Compatibility: ASTM D 3492 standard measurements for strength and leakage, compared against a water-treated control and a predicate substance (KY Jelly).
- Human Repeated Insult Patch Test: Clinical observations by dermatologists/study personnel for contact sensitization.
- In-Home Consumer Use Study: Consumer feedback and perceptions relative to marketing claims.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This device is not an AI/machine learning model, so there is no "training set."
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable. See response to #8.

Intended Use
FDS Intimate Lubricant and FDS Warming Lubricant are intended as personal lubricant to be used with or without a condom.
The lubricous nature of this product helps to supplement the body's own natural lubricating fluids, thereby relieving friction to help enhance the ease and comfort of intimate sexual activity. This lubricant may be safely applied to vaginal, anal or penile tissues for purpose of lubrication, and moisturization and is compatible with latex condoms. FDS Intimate Warming Lubricant has the additional benefit of imparting a warming sensation when applied to the genital area.
Regulatory Status
Per 21 CFR, 880.6375, Patient lubricant is defined as a Class I medical device intended for medical purposes that is used to lubricate a body orifice to facilitate entry of a diagnostic or therapeutic device. Patient lubricants are not exempt from 510(k) clearance. Additionally when used as an accessory to a condom, (a Class II medical device) the lubricant is considered, by FDA, as a Class II Medical Device requiring 510(k) clearance.
Technological Characteristics
The FDS Intimate Lubricant and FDS Warming Lubricant formulas are proprietary. The products have no exceptional technological characteristics and consist mainly of safe water-soluble GRAS status ingredients similar to K-Y® Brand ULTRAge!™MC Personal Lubricant manufactured by Personal Products Company, Division of McNeil-PPC, Inc., Skillman, NJ, Astroglide® Brand Personal Lubricant manufactured by Biofilm, Inc., K-Y® Brand Warming Liquid™ Personal Lubricant manufactured by Personal Products Company, Division of McNeil-PPC, Inc., Skillman, NJ, and Astroglide® Warming Liquid manufactured by Biofilm, Inc

Substantial Equivalence
FDS Intimate Lubricant and FDS Warming Lubricant have been shown, in laboratory tests, to be substantially equivalent to the currently marketed to K-Y® Brand ULTRAgel™MC Personal Lubricant manufactured by Personal Products Company, Division of McNeil-PPC, Inc., Skillman, NJ, Astroglide® Brand Personal Lubricant manufactured by Biofilm, Inc., K-Y® Brand Warming Liquid™ Personal Lubricant manufactured by Personal Products Company, Division of McNeil-PPC, Inc., Skillman, NJ, and Astroglide® Warming Liquid manufactured by Biofilm, Inc.
Both devices have the same intended use with a minor variation in formula ingredients. The gentle warming technology is the special feature of the FDS Warming Lubricant product.
Summary of Performance Data:
Preclinical Testing of Formulation:
Biocompatibility safety studies according to International Standard ISO 10993 and General Program Memorandum G95-1 on FDS Intimate Lubricant and FDS Warming Lubricant were conducted by an outside laboratory, in compliance with Good Laboratory Practices (GLPs). Results from these studies demonstrated that FDS Intimate Lubricant and FDS Warming Lubricant were not considered to be contact sensitizing agents, nor were they associated with systemic toxicity.
Compatibility Testing of FDS Personal Lubricant with Latex Condoms
Using ASTM Method D3492: lubricated and Non-lubricated latex condoms are exposed to the test substance for prescribed time periods and conditions. After exposure, condoms undergo strength and leakage tests to determine the effect of exposure on the physical integrity using water treated control condoms as comparators. A predicate substance. KY Jelly, is also tested for comparative purposes.
Acute Vaginal Mucosal Irritation Assay using the SkinEthic In-Vitro Reconstituted Human Vaginal Epithelial Tissue Model The test products were evaluated for their capacity to induce cytopathic effects on the SkinEthic in vitro reconstituted human vaginal enithelial tissue model .After topical application of the product onto reconstituted vaginal mucosa, cultures were incubated at 37°C, 5% CO2 for 10 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours and 24 hours.
Cell viability was assessed by the MTT assay for each time point, on duplicate cultures: FDS Intimate Warming Lubricant induced a decrease of cell viability after 24 hours of contact: histology analysis showed histological alterations already after 10 minutes of contact. FDS Intimate Lubricant did not have any significant effect on cell viability and on tissue morphology.
Acute Eve Irritation Assay Using Reconstituted Human Corneal Epithelial Tissue
The test products were evaluated for their capacity to induce cytopathic effects on human corneal epithelium reconstituted by in vitro cell culture. After topical application of each
{3}------------------------------------------------
product onto human corneal epithelium, cultures were incubated at 37°C, 5% CO2 for 10 minut4es, 1 hour, 3 hours and 24 hours. Cell viability was assessed by MTT assay for each time point, on duplicate cultures, according to the viability test (qualitative results). FDS Intimate Lubricant Warming was found to be very slightly irritant, and the FDS Intimate Lubricant a non-irritant. FDS Intimate Lubricant Warming inducted histological alterations already after 10 minutes of contact. The FDS Intimate Lubricant did not have any significant effect on tissue morphology.
Human Clinical Testing
A) In a Human Repeated Insult Patch Test, this product was compared to the currently marketed K-Y® Brand Warming Liquid 101 Personal Lubricant for its potential for contact sensitization. Under the conditions of this test no evidence of contact sensitization was elicited.
B) An In-Home Consumer Use Study was conducted by an independent market research firm to determine how well the FDS Lubricant delivers against expectation set by the packaging language. Statistical analysis and interpretation of the test results were made relative to the targeted performance claims:
"Non-Messy. Convenient Pump!" "Warming Intimate Lubricant" "Warms on Contact" "For Enhanced Intimacy and Pleasure" "Fragrance Free" "Gentle, Long-Lasting Formula"
Preclinical and Clinical testing have provided scientific evidence that this device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate device.
