The device description and intended use clearly describe a physical menstrual cup made of silicone. There is no mention of any software, data processing, or intelligent capabilities.
No
This device is a menstrual cup, which is a receptacle for collecting menstrual fluid, not a device intended to treat or cure a disease or condition.
No
Explanation: The device is a menstrual cup used to collect menstrual fluid, not to diagnose a medical condition. Its intended use is to serve as a receptacle for bodily fluid.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical menstrual cup made of silicone elastomer, which is a hardware component.
Based on the provided information, the Alicia 100 Menstrual Cup is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to collect menstrual fluid within the vagina. This is a physical collection of a bodily substance, not a test performed on a sample of that substance to provide diagnostic information.
- Device Description: The device is a physical receptacle made of silicone. It does not contain reagents, test strips, or any components designed to analyze or detect specific substances within the collected fluid.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: The device's function is purely mechanical – to hold menstrual flow. It does not provide any information about the composition, presence of markers, or any other diagnostic data related to the menstrual fluid or the patient's health.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies mentioned focus on biocompatibility and compliance with standards for medical devices, not on the accuracy or reliability of any diagnostic measurements.
- Predicate Device: The predicate device is another menstrual cup, which also functions as a collection device and is not an IVD.
IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. The Alicia 100 Menstrual Cup does not perform any such analysis.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Alicia™ Menstrual Cup is a receptacle placed in the vagina to collect blood and cellular debris that is extruded from the uterus via the cervix during menstruation. The Alicia™ Menstrual Cup is placed low enough in the vagina to be retrieved readily and to prevent it's toughing the cervix or interfering with menstrual flow through it.

Device Description
The Alicia™ menstrual cup is a soft, small internally worn reusable silicone menstrual cup that holds (instead of absorbing) monthly menstrual flow. It may remain in the body for up to 12 hours. It holds an ounce of fluid. It is available four sizes:
- · L size: 102ALLG; for larger built women that have had children.
- · M size: 101ALMD; for women who have had vaginal childbirth or C-Section; and for women who are over 30 years old and never had childbirth.
- S size: 100ALSM; for women under 30 years old who have never had childbirth or C-Section.
- · XS size: 99ALXS; for teenagers and very small framed women.
The cup remains entirely within the vagina and does not tough the cervix but the stem remains outside the body to ensure retrieval of the cup. See the user's manual for information about how to use and care for the Alicia™ menstrual cup.
The Alicia™ menstrual cup is manufactured from a soft silicone elastomer. The properties of the silicone are described in a master file at FDA. The master file provides data on all of the biocompatibility or toxicity testing required according to FDA's memorandum to guidance G95-1.

Dear Mr. Stone:
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 (PMA), 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.

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.
