2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Sample Size: The document does not specify exact sample sizes for each test within the biocompatibility, microbiological, or condom compatibility studies. It refers to standard methods (e.g., ISO, ASTM, EP) which typically implicitly define sample size requirements. For the animal studies (vaginal irritation, sensitization, acute systemic toxicity), these typically involve small numbers of animals (e.g., guinea pigs, rabbits, mice).
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated. The studies are described as "performance testing" and "biocompatibility studies were performed." There's no mention of the country of origin of the data or whether it was retrospective or prospective, though performance testing for device clearance is typically prospective for the device under evaluation.
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 section is not applicable to this device. The KY Grosz UltraGel is a personal lubricant, not an AI/imaging device requiring expert interpretation for ground truth. Its performance is evaluated through physical, chemical, microbiological, and biological compatibility tests, not by expert review of data sets.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This section is not applicable for the same reason as point 3. Adjudication methods are relevant for subjective interpretations, especially in medical imaging. The tests for this device involve objective measurements and standardized protocols without a need for expert adjudication in this context.
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 section is not applicable. This is not an AI-assisted diagnostic or imaging device.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This section is not applicable. This is not an algorithm or software device.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
For this device, "ground truth" refers to the established scientific and regulatory standards and methods by which its properties are evaluated.
- Physical/Chemical Properties (Appearance, Odor, Viscosity, Osmolality, pH): Ground truth is established by analytical chemistry and physical testing methods against defined specifications.
- Microbiological Purity & Preservative Effectiveness: Ground truth is established by standard microbiological plating and challenge tests (e.g., European Pharmacopoeia standards) with specific thresholds for bacterial, yeast, and mold counts, and log reductions.
- Biocompatibility (Cytotoxicity, Irritation, Sensitization, Systemic Toxicity): Ground truth is established by international standards (ISO 10993 series) using in vitro cell line tests and in vivo animal models, with defined endpoints (e.g., cell viability, irritation index, absence of reaction).
- Condom Compatibility: Ground truth is established by standardized material testing methods (e.g., ASTM D7661-10) that assess the degradation or impact of the lubricant on condom materials.
- Shelf Life: Ground truth is established by accelerated aging stability studies which project long-term stability based on short-term data under stressed conditions, confirming retention of all specified properties over time.
8. The sample size for the training set
This section is not applicable. This device does not use machine learning or AI that requires a "training set."
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This section is not applicable for the same reason as point 8.

Table 2: Technological Characteristics of Subject Device Compared to Predicate
The subject device and predicate devices have different technological characteristics, including their formulation. The differences in technological characteristics between the subject and predicate devices do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
Summary of Performance Testing:
Shelf life: KY Grosz UltraGel has a shelf-life of 2 years in accordance with the results of an accelerated aging stability study. Results from testing demonstrated that the device can maintain its specifications (as shown in Table 1) over the duration of its shelf life.
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): The subject device test article showed no evidence of ● cytotoxicity to L-929 cells and therefore is not cytotoxic.
{6}------------------------------------------------
- Vaginal Irritation (ISO 10993-10: 2010): The Irritation Index for the subject device test article ● was 0. Macroscopically, the vaginal tissue was found to be normal. Therefore, the subject device was considered a non-irritant to vaginal tissue of the rabbit
- Guinea Pig Maximization Sensitization Test (ISO 10993-10: 2010): The subject device test article ● solution showed no evidence of causing delayed dermal contact sensitization in the guinea pig. The test article was not considered a sensitizer in the guinea pig maximization test.
- . Acute Systemic Toxicity (ISO 10993-11: 2017): There was no mortality or evidence of systemic toxicity for the subject device.
Condom Compatibility: KY Grosz UltraGel was tested in accordance with ASTM D7661-10 "Standard Test Method for Determining Compatibility of Personal Lubricants with Natural Rubber Latex Condoms" and was determined to be compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms. It was determined not to be compatible with polyurethane condoms.
Conclusion: The results of the performance testing described above demonstrate that the KY Grosz UltraGel 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.
