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 specify the sample sizes used for the various tests (biocompatibility, condom compatibility, shelf-life).
The data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) is not mentioned for any of the studies.

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 information is not applicable as the device is a personal lubricant, not an AI or diagnostic device that requires expert ground truth for interpretation. The ground truth for performance criteria is based on established laboratory testing standards.

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

This information is not applicable for this type of device and testing. Test results are typically objective measurements against defined specifications.

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 information is not applicable as this is not an AI-assisted diagnostic device.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

This information is not applicable as this is not an AI/algorithm-based device. The device itself (the lubricant) is the standalone entity being evaluated.

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

The "ground truth" for the performance criteria is derived from:

  • Laboratory testing standards: For pH, viscosity, microbial counts, water activity, and absence of pathogenic organisms, the "ground truth" is measured values compared against established specifications (e.g., USP <61>, USP <1112D>).
  • International Standards: Biocompatibility testing was performed in accordance with ISO 10993-1, ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10, and ISO 10993-11. Condom compatibility testing was performed in accordance with ASTM D7661-10. These standards define the methods and acceptance criteria for establishing compatibility and safety.
  • Real-time stability studies: For shelf-life, the "ground truth" is the observed maintenance of specifications over the duration of the shelf-life.

8. The sample size for the training set

This information is not applicable as there is no training set for an AI/machine learning model. The device is a physical product subject to physical and chemical testing.

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

This information is not applicable as there is no training set.

Dear Felicia Irons:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.

The subject and predicate devices have different indications for use statements; however, their intended uses are the same, i.e., lubrication during intimate sexual activity and compatibility with natural rubber latex condoms.

The subject and predicate devices have similar technological characteristics (e.g., condom compatibility, formulation ingredients, etc.); however, differences in specifications and concentrations of specific chemicals in the formulation exist.

The differences in technological characteristics described above between the subject and predicate devices do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. In addition, the specifications for the subject device are comparable to other devices of this type.

Performance Data

Biocompatibility:

Biocompatibility studies were performed in accordance with the 2016 FDA guidance document "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process" and ISO 10993- 1:2009 as follows:

  • Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5:2009)
  • Sensitization (ISO 10993-10:2010) ●
  • Vaginal Irritation (ISO 10993-10:2010) ●
  • Acute Systemic Toxicity (ISO 10993-11:2006) ●

{6}------------------------------------------------

The results of this testing demonstrated that the subject lubricants are biocompatible.

Condom Compatibility:

Condom Compatibility testing was performed in accordance with ASTM D7661-10

"Standard Test Method for Determining Compatibility of Personal Lubricants with Natural Rubber Latex Condoms." The results based on the recognized standard demonstrate that the product is compatible with natural rubber latex condoms. No testing was performed on polyisoprene or polyurethane condoms. Therefore, the Warm Touch Warming Jelly is labeled as not compatible with polyisoprene and polyurethane condoms.

Shelf-Life:

The shelf-life of Warm Touch Warming Jelly is 24 months from the date of production. This is based on the results of real-time stability studies that demonstrated the device can maintain its specifications over the duration of its shelf-life.

Substantial Equivalence:

The results of the performance testing described above demonstrate that the Warm Touch Warming Jelly 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.
