Intended Use

K-Y® Silicone is indicated for penile, vaginal and/or anal 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, polyisoprene, and polyurethane condoms.

Device Description

K-Y® Silicone is a non-sterile, odorless, and anhydrous personal lubricant that provides personal lubrication during intimate sexual activity and is compatible with condoms made of natural rubber latex, polyurethane and polyisoprene. This product is composed of 100% Dimethicone. The product is packaged in a 50mL (1.69 FL oz.) HDPE bottle with a polypropylene pump. K-Y @ Silicone is identical in formulation and specifications to the predicate device (Durex Silicone, K143532).

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the K-Y® Silicone personal lubricant, which claims to be substantially equivalent to the Durex Silicone (K143532) predicate device. The submission does not present a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria distinct from the predicate device; instead, it relies on the performance data of the predicate device due to their identical formulation and specifications.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text, recognizing that it primarily refers to the predicate device's data:


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria are essentially the specifications for the K-Y® Silicone, which are stated to be identical to the predicate device.

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

The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes for the testing described for the predicate device. The data provenance is described as "performance testing provided in the predicate submission for the Durex Silicone personal lubricant (K143532)." This implies the data is retrospective for the K-Y® Silicone application, as it's leveraging previously generated data. The country of origin for the data is not specified in this document.

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

Not applicable. This device is a personal lubricant, and its performance (biocompatibility, condom compatibility, sterility, shelf-life) is evaluated through laboratory and material testing, not through expert review of diagnostic images or clinical assessments requiring expert consensus for ground truth.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. The testing described (biocompatibility, condom compatibility, analytical chemistry, microbiology, stability) are objective laboratory tests that do not involve subjective expert adjudication.

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

Not applicable. This product is a physical device (personal lubricant), not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive technology for human readers.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

Not applicable. This is not an algorithm or AI device.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

For the predicate device's testing, the ground truth was established through:

  • Laboratory test results: For biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity), viscosity, color, odor, and microbiological assays (TAMC, TYMC, absence of pathogens).
  • Standardized test methods: For condom compatibility (ASTM method D7661-10).
  • Stability studies: For shelf-life (accelerated and real-time stability studies against device specifications).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This is a physical product, not a machine learning model that requires a training set. The term "training set" doesn't apply in this context.

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

Not applicable, as there is no training set for a personal lubricant device.

{5}------------------------------------------------

The subject and predicate device have similar indications for use. However, the indication for the subject device has been expanded from the current penile and vaginal use to also include anal use. This change does not represent a new intended use as the intended use of this device is the same as the predicate device, i.e., lubrication of an orifice during intimate sexual activity.

Additionally, FDA has cleared otherpersonal lubricants with comparable indications including penile, vaginal, and anal use.

Technological Characteristics:

The technological characteristics of the K-Y@ Silicone personal lubricant are identical to the predicate device as both devices are made from the same material, have the same packaging, and have the same specifications.

Summary of Performance Data

This submission relies on the performance testing provided in the predicate submission for the Durex Silicone personal lubricant (K143532) as the subject device is identical to the predicate device. Data from the predicate submission used to support the subject device is summarized below:

Biocompatibility: Testing was conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-1:2009. The following endpoints were assessed in the testing conducted:

  • Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5:2009)
  • Sensitization (ISO 10993-10:2010) ●
  • . Irritation (ISO 10993-10:2010)
  • Systemic Toxicity (ISO 10993-11:2011 ●

The results of this testing demonstrated that the subject lubricant is biocompatible.

Condom Compatibility: Testing was done in accordance with ASTM method D7661-10 on condoms made of natural rubber latex. polyisoprene, and polyurethane. The results of testing showed compatibility of the lubricant with natural rubber latex, polyisoprene, and polyurethane condoms.

Shelf-Life: K-Y@ Silicone is a non-sterile personal lubricant with a 24 month shelf-life based on the results of accelerated a and real-time stability studies. Testing showed that devices were able to meet the device specifications shown in the Device Description section of this summary over the 24-month shelflife period.

Conclusion

As K-Y® Silicone is identical to the predicate Durex Silicone personal lubricant, the performance data described above demonstrates that the K-Y® Silicone personal lubricant is as safe and effective as the predicate device and supports a determination of substantial equivalence.

§ 884.5300 Condom.

(a)
Identification. A condom is a sheath which completely covers the penis with a closely fitting membrane. The condom is used for contraceptive and for prophylactic purposes (preventing transmission of sexually transmitted infections). The device may also be used to collect semen to aid in the diagnosis of infertility.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls) for condoms made of materials other than natural rubber latex, including natural membrane (skin) or synthetic.(2) Class II (special controls) for natural rubber latex condoms. The guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Labeling for Natural Rubber Latex Condoms Classified Under 21 CFR 884.5300” will serve as the special control. See § 884.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.
