More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical and chemical properties of a personal lubricant, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
A therapeutic device is used to treat or prevent a disease or condition. This device is a personal lubricant for enhancing comfort during sexual activity, which is not a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is a personal lubricant used to moisturize and lubricate for sexual activity, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical product (a water-based lubricant) and the performance studies are related to the physical and chemical properties of the lubricant, not software functionality.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for personal lubrication during sexual activity, applied to the body (penile, vaginal, and/or rectal).
  • Device Description: It's a water-based personal lubricant.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (on or in the body) for lubrication.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The following performance tests were conducted:

  • Shelf Life (accelerated aging equivalent to 12 months per ASTM F1980-16)
  • Condom Compatibility per ASTM D7661-10
  • Biocompatibility
    • Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5:2009)
    • Sensitization (ISO 10993-10:2010)
    • Vaginal Irritation with Histopathology (ISO 10993-10:2010)
    • Acute Systemic Toxicity (ISO 10993-11:2006)

The results of performance testing demonstrate that the proposed lubricant maintains all of its specifications over the duration of its proposed shelf life, is compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms, but not polyurethane condoms, and biocompatible.

Dear Paul Dryden:

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. 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

1

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).
