AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device: Joy Drops™ Natural Personal Lubricant Gel. This type of submission is for demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, not for proving the device meets acceptance criteria through clinical studies involving human readers or AI.

Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study details, sample sizes, expert involvement, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and ground truth establishment for a diagnostic device utilizing AI is not applicable to this document.

The document primarily focuses on:

  • Biocompatibility testing: To ensure the product is safe for contact with human tissue.
  • Condom compatibility testing: To ensure it doesn't degrade various types of condoms.
  • Comparison to a predicate device: To demonstrate substantial equivalence based on intended use, technological characteristics, and safety/performance data.

Here's an attempt to answer the questions based only on the information available for this specific product, acknowledging that many questions are not directly relevant to a lubricant's 510(k) submission:


1. Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

Acceptance Criteria (from text)Reported Device Performance (from text)
Condom Compatibility:
Compatible with latex condoms (per ASTM D7 6661-10 and ARDL method)Found to be compatible with latex condoms.
Compatible with polyisoprene condoms (per ASTM D7 6661-10 and ARDL method)Found to be compatible with polyisoprene condoms.
Compatible with polyurethane condoms (per ASTM D7 6661-10 and ARDL method)Found to be compatible with polyurethane condoms.
Biocompatibility (Safety):
No cellular toxicity (per ISO 10993 methodology)No cellular toxicity was found.
No systemic toxicity (per NAMSA protocol, FDA approved)No systemic toxicity was found. (Table: No Mortality or Evidence of Systemic Toxicity)
Non-irritant to vaginal tissue (per ISO 10993-10)The test article was considered a non-irritant to vaginal tissue. (Table: No Irritation Observed)
No skin sensitization (per ISO 10993-10/AI standard practices)No skin sensitization was reported. (Table: No Skin Sensitization was Observed for both animal and human patch tests)
No skin irritation (Human Patch Test, 30 min and 24 hours)No Skin Irritation was Observed (for both 30 minutes and 24 hours).
Stability:
Shelf-life of three yearsA shelf-life of three years was established based on data from temperature control cabinets (22°C and 60°C).
Microbiological specifications <10 cfu/mL-gMicrobiological specifications were set at <10 cfu/mL-g based on stability data.

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes for the condom compatibility or biocompatibility tests (e.g., number of condoms tested, number of animals, or human subjects for patch tests). It refers to "standard practices" and ISO methodologies.

  • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin of the data for the tests. It refers to "an independent laboratory" for stability testing. The submitter is from Turkey (Turkuaz Sağlik Hizmetleri Medikal Temizlik Kimyasal Urünler San. ve Tic. LTD ŞTI). The studies appear to be prospective, laboratory-based tests.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

This question is not applicable. The device is a personal lubricant, not a diagnostic device requiring expert interpretation of results to establish ground truth for a test set. The tests performed (biocompatibility, condom compatibility) are objective laboratory measurements, not subjective expert evaluations.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

This question is not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 are used for diagnostic interpretations by experts, which is not relevant for this product's testing. Laboratory tests have defined protocols and result interpretations.

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

This question is not applicable, as the device is a personal lubricant and does not involve AI, human readers, or diagnostic interpretation.

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 a personal lubricant and does not involve an algorithm or AI.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

This question is not applicable in the context of diagnostic "ground truth." The "ground truth" for this product's performance refers to the objective results of standardized laboratory tests for:

  • Condom integrity: Measured by established ASTM and ARDL methods.
  • Biocompatibility: Measured by ISO 10993 standards for cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization, and systemic toxicity.
  • Shelf-life: Measured by stability studies under controlled temperature conditions.

8. The sample size for the training set

This question is not applicable, as the device does not employ machine learning or AI, and therefore does not have a "training set."

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

This question is not applicable, as the device does not employ machine learning or AI, and therefore does not have a "training set" or "ground truth for a training set."

Device Description

JoyDrops® Natural Personal Lubricant Gel is a water-based personal lubricant gel that is contained in a 3.38 fluid ounces (100 mL) polymer container with a pump dispenser.

Directions for Product Use

Remove the cap of the JoyDrops® Natural Personal Lubricant Gel, and then twist the pump to open. Gently squeeze the tube to obtain the desired amount of lubricant. A 1 to 2 inch strip should be sufficient. May be applied directly onto the condom or onto the penis or into the vagina.

Product Performance and Condom Compatibility

JoyDrops® Natural Personal Lubricant Gel has been tested for performance by subjecting it to Condom Compatibility testing. Condom Compatibility was tested using the procedure described in the ASTM D7 6661-10 method and the ARDL method. JoyDrops® Natural Personal Lubricant Gel was found to be compatible with latex condoms, and polyisoprene and polyurethane condoms. This is the same as the statement made by Walgeens Personal Lubricant Jelly, which is the "substantially equivalent" comparison product.

Summary of test data that confirm that JoyDrops® Natural Personal Lubricant Gel is safe for use. 807.92(b)(3)1

JoyDrops® Natural Personal Lubricant Gel has been tested for safety by subjecting it to cytotoxicity testing, systemic toxicity testing, vaginal irritation testing, and sensitization testing.

  1. The cytotoxicity tests were conducted using the ISO 10993 methodology. No cellular toxicity was found.

  2. The systemic toxicity testing was conducted using a standard protocol developed by NAMSA, and approved by FDA upon submission. No systemic toxicity was found.

  3. Vaqinal irritation was studied using the International Organization for Standardization 10993-10, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices. The test article was considered a nonirritant to vaginal tissue.

  4. Skin sensitization patch tests in humans and skin sensitization tests in animals were conducted according to standard practices, including ISO 10993-10/AI. No skin sensitization was reported.

These tests are consistent with the expectations of this class of device, and are substantially equivalent to the predicate product.

-----------------------------------

The test sample extract was prepared according to ISO 10993-12. Table 1 "Standard surface areas and extract liquid volumes". Since the test sample is irregularly shaped solid devices (powder, pellets, foam, non-absorbent molded items) 0.2 g/ml extraction ratio was used. In order to use diluted extract of sample, 0.1 g/ml extraction ratio was also used. According to ISO 10993-12; 10.3.5 Extraction using both polar and non-polar extraction vehicles were performed.

The supplementation of basal culture media with animal serum of different origins is essential for cell growth, metabolism, and to stimulate proliferation ("mitogenic effect"). The major functions of serum in culture media are to provide (i) hormonal factors stimulating cell growth and proliferation and promoting differentiated functions, (ii) transport proteins carrying hormones (e.g. transcortin), minerals and trace elements (e.g. transferrin) and lipids (e.g. lipoproteins), (iii) attachment and spreading factors (Brunner et al., 2010, Altex 27; 1/10).

In order to support cell growth, 5% FBS was used until it was approximately 50% confluent. By adding extract of test materials the FBS concentration was decreased to 1% in order to continue cell growth and avoid cells to be overexposed to hormonal and growth factors according to the basic cell culture knowledge, since the percentage of the FBS has not been mentioned in the standard. According to our procedure, the extract condition includes 1% FBS.

The product is expected to be in contact with vaginal epithelial cells for less than 24 hours.

Packaging

JoyDrops® Natural Personal Lubricant Gel is packaged in 100 mL plastic polymer bottles. The bottle has a dispensing nozzle which in turn is covered by a plastic cap. The plastic cap has a tamper-resistant covering which must be removed in order to apply the gel. The bottle has a wrap-around label that meets the requirements of the FDA's labeling guidelines.

Technological Characteristics [807.92(a)(6)]:

Both the predicate device (Walgreens Personal Lubricating Jelly) and JoyDrops® Natural Personal Lubricant Gel have the same technological characteristics. They are both water-based gels that contain similar ingredients that allow vaginal lubrication and/or lubrication of condoms to ease the friction of sexual activity. Both lubricating gels are compatible with both latex-based condoms and common polymer-based condoms.

Substantial Equivalence [807.92(b)(1)]:

JoyDrops® Natural Personal Lubricant Gel is substantially equivalent to a marketed device: Walgreens Personal Lubricating Jelly. The intended use, active (lubricating) ingredients, presence of preservatives, and application of the proposed device are substantially equivalent to those of the predicative device. Both products are/will be sold over-the-counter and are indicated as personal lubricants.
