2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
This information is not provided in the document. The studies referenced are standard laboratory tests (e.g., biocompatibility testing according to ISO standards, shelf-life testing, condom compatibility testing according to ASTM standards). These typically involve a defined number of samples or animals for each test component as specified by the standards, but the exact sample sizes are not detailed in this summary. The data provenance is internal testing performed by or for United Consortium.
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 is not applicable to this type of device and study. The "ground truth" for the performance criteria listed (pH, viscosity, microbial counts, etc.) is established by standard laboratory methods and validated instrumentation, not by human expert consensus or interpretation as would be the case for medical imaging algorithms.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This is not applicable to this type of device. Adjudication methods are typically used in clinical studies or expert review processes for diagnostic devices to resolve discrepancies in interpretation. The tests described are objective laboratory measurements.
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 is not applicable to this device. An MRMC study is relevant for diagnostic imaging devices used by human readers with AI assistance. This document describes a personal lubricant.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This is not applicable to this device. This would apply to an AI algorithm, not a physical product like a personal lubricant.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The "ground truth" for the device specifications (e.g., pH, viscosity, sterility, ingredient presence) is established through standardized analytical chemistry and microbiology laboratory tests (e.g., USP and ASTM methods) and biological evaluations (e.g., ISO 10993 series). For biocompatibility, the ground truth is the biological response observed in the specified animal models or in vitro assays. For shelf-life, the ground truth is the maintenance of specifications over time. For condom compatibility, it is the performance against the ASTM standard.
8. The sample size for the training set
This is not applicable to this device. A "training set" refers to data used to train a machine learning algorithm. This document describes a physical product and its testing.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This is not applicable to this device, as there is no training set mentioned or implied.
Summary of the Study that Proves the Device Meets Acceptance Criteria:
The device's performance was proven through a series of laboratory and biological tests conducted in accordance with recognized international and national standards:
- Biocompatibility Studies: Performed according to the 2016 FDA guidance document on ISO 10993-1 and specific parts of ISO 10993 (Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5:2009), Sensitization (ISO 10993-10:2010), Vaginal Irritation (ISO 10993-10:2010), Penile Irritation (ISO 10993-10:2010), and Acute Systemic Toxicity (ISO 10993-11:2006)). These studies demonstrated that the lubricant is "only slightly cytotoxic, non-irritating, non-sensitizing and non-systemically toxic," meeting the safety requirements.
- Shelf-Life Study: A real-time aging study was conducted for 3 years. All device specifications listed in Table 1 (Appearance, Color, Odor, Viscosity, pH, Specific Gravity, Osmolality, Antimicrobial effectiveness, Microbial counts, and absence of specific pathogens) were tested at 0, 1, 2, and 3 years. The device "met the device specifications at all time points," thus proving its 3-year shelf-life.
- Condom Compatibility Testing: Evaluated in accordance with ASTM D7661-10 "Standard Test Method for Determining Compatibility of Personal Lubricants with Natural Rubber Latex Condoms." The results indicated compatibility with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms, and incompatibility with polyurethane condoms.
- Physical, Chemical, and Microbiological Testing: The device specifications listed in Table 1 (e.g., Viscosity per USP <911>, pH per USP <971>, Specific Gravity per USP <841>, Osmolality per USP <785>, Antimicrobial effectiveness per USP <51>, Microbiological counts per USP <61> and <1111>, and presence of pathogens per USP <62>) were evaluated to ensure the product met defined quality and safety standards. While specific numerical results are not provided for each, the summary implies successful compliance with these specifications.
These studies collectively support the conclusion that the JO for Him H2O Gel Original Personal Lubricant is "as safe and effective as the predicate device and supports a determination of substantial equivalence."
