Intended Use

Aqua Lube® Natural Personal Lubricant is a personal lubricant, for penile and/or vaginal application, intended to moisturize and lubricate, to enhance the ease and comfort of intimate sexual activity and supplement the body's natural lubrication. This product is compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms. This product is not compatible with polyurethane condoms.

Device Description

Aqua Lube® Natural Personal Lubricant is a non-sterile, water-based, personal lubricant designed to supplement the body's own natural lubrication fluids. Aqua Lube® Natural Personal Lubricant consists of two models: "Regular" and "Warming." This product is a clear, non-greasy, high-viscosity, liquid. This product is composed primarily of organic aloe, hydroxyethycellulose, sorbitol, and tocopherols (vitamin E). The Warming model contains the same ingredients as the Regular model plus the additional ingredient organic peppermint oil. Aqua Lube® Natural Personal Lubricant causes a warming response. This product may be used with or without a condom during intimate sexual activity. This product is packaged in a tube made of low density polyethylene with a polypropylene cap. Tube sizes included 1 oz., 2.5 oz, and 4.0 oz. Each tube is packaged in a paperboard carton, which constitutes the device's individual carton.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the Aqua Lube® Natural Personal Lubricant, based on the provided text:

Shelf Life (Warming Model)Minimum 24 months stabilityConfirmed 24 months
Shelf Life (Regular Model)Minimum 14 months stabilityConfirmed 14 months

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document does not specify the exact sample sizes for the individual tests (Cytotoxicity, Irritation, Toxicity, Sensitization). However, it does state that "Biocompatibility testing was conducted on Aqua Lube® Natural Personal Lubricant per ISO 10993 series," which implies standard biological testing methods for medical devices.

  • Provenance: The data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) is not explicitly stated. The studies were conducted in compliance with Good Laboratory Practices (GLPs), which are a set of principles for conducting non-clinical laboratory studies.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications

This information is not provided in the document. The studies listed (e.g., cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization) are laboratory tests with objective endpoints, rather than subjective evaluations that typically require human expert consensus for ground truth establishment.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not applicable/provided. The tests described are primarily objective laboratory assessments, not requiring an adjudication method like those used for interpreting ambiguous results in image-based diagnostics.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is typically used for AI-powered diagnostic tools to assess the impact of AI assistance on human reader performance. The Aqua Lube device is a personal lubricant, not a diagnostic tool.

6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done

No, a standalone algorithm performance study was not done. This concept is relevant for AI algorithms, which are not applicable to a personal lubricant.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for the device's performance relies on objective laboratory measurements and standardized testing protocols:

  • Biocompatibility: Results were based on measurable biological responses (e.g., cell viability for cytotoxicity, observable tissue reactions for irritation, systemic effects for toxicity, immune responses for sensitization) defined by the ISO 10993 series.
  • Condom Compatibility: Results were based on mechanical and physical integrity testing of condoms as defined by ASTM D7661-10.
  • Shelf Life: Results were based on real-time stability data, indicating the maintenance of product characteristics over time.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable. The Aqua Lube device is a physical product, not an AI model requiring a "training set."

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

This information is not applicable. As stated above, this is not an AI model.

Intended Use

Aqua Lube Natural Personal Lubricant is a personal lubricant, for penile and/or vaginal application, intended to moisturize and lubricate, to enhance the ease and comfort of intimate sexual activity and supplement the body's natural lubrication. This product is compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms. This product is not compatible with polyurethane condoms.

Technological Characteristics

Aqua Lube Natural Personal Lubricant formula is proprietary. The product however, has no exceptional technological characteristics. Aqua Lube® Natural Personal Lubricant consists mainly of water and water-soluble ingredients similar to other lubricants currently on the U.S. market and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Product Safety

Biocompatibility testing was conducted on Aqua Lube® Natural Personal Lubricant per 1SO 10993 series, in compliance with Good Laboratory Practices (GLPs). The proposed devices were evaluated for their potential to cause cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization, and acute systemic toxicity. The results of testing showed that the device meets acceptance requirements for all tests, as summarized in the following table:

Testing PerformedResults
CytotoxicityNon-cytotoxic
Rabbit Vaginal IrritationNon-Irritating
Acute Systemic ToxicityNon-systemically toxic
Sensitization Guinea Pig MaximizationNon-sensitizing

Condom Compatibility

Studies on condom compatibility were conducted according to the ASTM D7661-10. Both models of Aqua Lube® Natural Personal Lubricant demonstrated they do not affect the mechanical or physical integrity of natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms. The studies did show both models did affect polyurethane condoms. Therefore, Aqua Lube® Natural Personal Lubricant is compatible with natural rubber latex condoms and polyisoprene condoms. Aqua Lube Natural Personal Lubricant is not compatible with polyurethane condoms.

Shelf Life Data

Real time stability data confirms a minimum shelf life of 24 months for the Aqua Lube® Natural Lubricants - Warming Model and 14 month stability for Aqua Lube® Natural Personal Lubricant - Regular Model.

Substantial Equivalence

Aqua Lube Natural Personal Lubricant and the predicate device have the same intended use. Both are water-based personal lubricants and they have comparable physical parameters. The Aqua Lube Natural Personal Lubricant is substantially equivalent to predicate device regarding safety and effectiveness.
