AI/ML Overview

This document describes the premarket notification (510(k)) and summary for a personal lubricant, "Climax Personal Lubricant." It is not for a medical device that uses AI or complex algorithms requiring extensive performance testing with clinical data, ground truth establishment, or multi-reader studies.

Therefore, the requested information about acceptance criteria, study details (sample size, data provenance, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone performance), and ground truth establishment cannot be provided from this document as it is not relevant to the type of device (personal lubricant) being discussed.

The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on:

  • Indications for Use: Same as predicate.
  • Technological Characteristics: Largely similar to predicate, with differences not raising new safety/effectiveness questions.
  • Performance Testing:
    • Biocompatibility: Tested per ISO 10993 standards (cytotoxicity, sensitization, vaginal irritation, acute systemic toxicity).
    • Condom Compatibility: Tested per ASTM D7661-10 with natural rubber latex, polyurethane, and polyisoprene condoms.
    • Shelf Life: Demonstrated maintenance of specifications over proposed shelf life.

The acceptance criteria here are based on meeting these standardized tests rather than clinical performance metrics typical for diagnostic or AI-powered devices. No "ground truth" in the clinical sense (e.g., disease presence/absence determined by pathology) is applicable here.

Dear Julie Casagrande:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

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. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

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.

{1}------------------------------------------------

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); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); 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.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).
