More Information

Not Found

No
The device description is for a standard condom and there is no mention of AI or ML in the provided text.

No
The device is primarily intended for contraception and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, which are prophylactic rather than therapeutic uses.

No
Explanation: The device description states its use for contraception and prophylactic purposes. There is no mention of it being used to diagnose any condition or disease.

No

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

Based on the provided information, the Karex condom is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for contraception and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. This is a physical barrier method used in vivo (on the body), not a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical barrier device made of latex. It does not describe any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring specific substances (analytes)
    • Providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition

Therefore, the Karex condom falls under the category of a medical device, but specifically a barrier contraceptive and prophylactic device, not an IVD.

Dear Mr. Goh:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Image /page/2/Picture/10 description: The image is a circular logo or seal, likely commemorating a centennial. The text "1906-2006" is at the top, indicating a 100-year period. The letters "FDA" are prominently displayed in the center, suggesting it is related to the Food and Drug Administration. The word "Centennial" is written below the letters, and three stars are underneath that. The text "Science at Your Service and Around" is written around the bottom of the circle.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807): labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 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.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter:

21 CFR 876.xxxx(Gastroenterology/Renal/Urology)240-276-0115
