The summary describes a conventional menstrual tampon and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.
No
The device is described as a tampon used to absorb menstrual fluid, which is a hygiene product, not a device intended to treat or prevent a disease or condition.
No
Explanation: This device, a tampon, is used to absorb menstrual fluid and does not diagnose any medical condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical tampon, which is a hardware medical device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to absorb menstrual fluid within the vagina. This is a physical function, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description details a physical absorbent product (tampon).
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies listed (Absorbency Rate, Expulsion Force, Fiber Loss, Stability Check) are related to the physical properties and function of the tampon, not diagnostic accuracy.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This tampon does not fit that description.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The following tests were performed to support substantial equivalence (see Appendix 2 - Testing):
- . Determination of Absorbency Rate of Tampons = Syngina Test
- Expulsion Force Applicator Tampons
- . Fiber Loss ATS Testing Method
- . Stability Check on Digital Tampons
The subject device has the same intended use and technical characteristics as the predicate device. Similarly, there are no differences in materials used to fabricate the subject device and the predicate device. Therefore no new questions of safety or effectiveness are raised by this submission. Thus, the Ontex Tampon (Unscented) is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, the Maxim Hygeine Products Tampon (K090098).

Dear Mr. Kolber:
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 additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898.
