Study Details (as applicable to a personal lubricant 510(k))
Since this document describes the clearance of a personal lubricant, the "study" refers to non-clinical performance testing rather than an AI or human reader study for diagnostic purposes.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Biocompatibility Testing: The document mentions "New Zealand White rabbits" for irritation tests and "guinea pigs" for hypersensitivity, and "mice" for acute systemic toxicity. Specific numbers of animals (sample sizes) are not provided in this summary.
- Bench Performance Testing: No specific sample sizes (e.g., number of lubricant batches or condom samples) are mentioned for physical property tests or condom compatibility.
- Data Provenance: The tests are standard laboratory tests conducted according to ISO and ASTM standards. The document does not specify the country of origin for the underlying data generation. The submission itself is from a Canadian company with a US consultant. The studies are prospective insofar as they were explicitly performed to support this submission.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- N/A. This applies to diagnostic studies, not personal lubricant testing. The "ground truth" here is established by the results of standardized, objective laboratory tests against pre-defined scientific and regulatory criteria (e.g., pH values, microbial counts, irritation indices).
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- N/A. This applies to studies involving subjective assessments, like medical image interpretation. Laboratory tests for a personal lubricant do not typically involve human adjudication in this manner.
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:
- N/A. This document is for a medical device (personal lubricant), not an AI-powered diagnostic tool. The concept of human readers or AI assistance is irrelevant here.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- N/A. Not an AI algorithm. The performance is the device's inherent physical and chemical properties and its biological interaction.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
- The "ground truth" for this device is based on objective, standardized laboratory measurements and assessments against established physical, chemical, and biological criteria, as defined by USP, ISO, and ASTM standards. For example:
- pH measurement provides a direct value.
- Microbial counts are quantifiable.
- Biocompatibility tests use histological analysis and scoring indices (like Irritation Index) often interpreted by trained toxicologists/pathologists who follow defined protocols.
- Condom compatibility is determined by physical integrity tests.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- N/A. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/machine learning device.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- N/A. As above, no training set.

As noted in the table above, the differences between the subject and predicate devices include the indications for use, condom compatibility and ingredients. These differences do not alter the intended use or the fundamental technology of the subject device as compared to the predicate, and do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness. The technological differences between the subject device and predicate were evaluated through performance testing as described in the section below.
Summary of Non-Clinical Performance Data
Biocompatibility
The subject device is intended to come into direct contact with the mucosa of patients for a limited (< 24hr) duration. Therefore, biocompatibility testing was conducted to evaluate vaginal and rectal irritation, systemic toxicity, hypersensitivity and cytotoxicity in accordance with ISO 10993 as described below.
Cytotoxicity
The purpose of this test was to examine the test article under evaluation for cytotoxic potential. This test was performed per ISO 10993-5:2009. Based on qualitative evaluation of the mouse fibroblast cells exposed to the test article, the test article was demonstrated to be noncytotoxic.
Hypersensitivity
The purpose of this test was to determine to what extent a test article has the potential to act as a contact sensitizer in guinea pigs. The assay was conducted according to the methods detailed in the ISO 10993-10:2010, Guinea Pig Maximization. Results from treated animals support that the test article is non-sensitizing. Under similar treatment conditions, all positive control animals used in the historical positive control study exhibited a strong sensitization response to the challenge dose compared to that of the control animals. The results from the historical positive control study demonstrate that the guinea pigs in the study reacted as expected when exposed to a known sensitizer (i.e., DNCB) and the results validate the sensitivity of this test.
Vaginal Mucosal Irritation
The purpose of this test was to assess the potential of the test material to produce irritation of the vaginal mucosal tissue in New Zealand White rabbits. This test was performed according to ISO 10993-10:2010. Vaginal Irritation Test. Based on the Irritation Index, the test article was considered a non-irritant to the vaginal mucosa.
Rectal Irritation
The purpose of this test was to assess the potential of the test material to produce irritation of the rectal mucosal tissue in New Zealand White rabbits. This test was performed according to ISO 10993-10:2010, Rectal Irritation Test. Based on the Irritation Index, the test article was considered a non-irritant to the rectal mucosa.
Acute Systemic Toxicity
The purpose of this test was to evaluate systemic responses to the test article following injection into mice. This test was conducted according to ISO 10993-11:2006, Acute Systemic Toxicity. Testing demonstrated that the subject device is not acutely toxic.
{6}------------------------------------------------
Bench Performance Testing
The following non-clinical testing was conducted: Condom compatibility in accordance with ASTM D7661:10 and age testing (ASTM F1980-16) to justify claims of 522 days shelf-life.
Shelf Life
Shelf life for the subject device is claimed to be 522 days. Accelerated aging testing was conducted per ASTM F1980-16, which demonstrated that the device met specifications for the proposed shelf-life.
Condom Compatibility
Condom compatibility was conducted in accordance with ASTM D7661-10 - Standard Test Method for Determining Compatibility of Personal Lubricants with Natural Rubber Latex. The subject device was found to be compatible with male natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms and incompatible with male polyurethane condoms.
Summary of Clinical Performance Data
No clinical data were submitted to support substantial equivalence.
Conclusion
The subject device has very similar indications for use to the predicate. Minor differences in the indications statements do not alter the intended use of the subject device. The subject device and the predicate have the same basic technological characteristics. Minor differences in technology do not alter the intended use or fundamental technology, and do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. The technological differences between the subject and predicate device were evaluated through performance testing, including biocompatibility, condom compatibility, and shelf-life. The results from performance testing support that the subject device is as safe and effective as the predicate. Therefore, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
