Study Information

The document describes several performance tests conducted for the KY Grosz Liquid. However, it does not provide all the granular details requested regarding specific sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, expert involvement for ground truth, adjudication methods, or training set specifics for AI/algorithm-related studies. This is expected as the product is a personal lubricant, not an AI/ML-based medical device.

1. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Shelf Life: The document states that stability studies were performed, but does not provide the specific sample size of product units tested or the duration of the accelerated aging study. Data provenance is implied to be from the manufacturer's internal testing.
  • Biocompatibility Studies (Cytotoxicity, Vaginal Irritation, Sensitization, Acute Systemic Toxicity):
    • Cytotoxicity: Tested on L-929 cells. Sample size of cells or test replicates not specified.
    • Vaginal Irritation: Tested on rabbits. The number of rabbits is not specified.
    • Guinea Pig Maximization Sensitization Test: Tested on guinea pigs. The number of guinea pigs is not specified.
    • Acute Systemic Toxicity: Tested on an unspecified animal model. The number of animals is not specified.
    • Data provenance for biocompatibility studies is implied to be from testing conducted according to ISO standards.
  • Condom Compatibility: Tested according to ASTM D7661-10. The number of condoms or test replicates is not specified. Data provenance is implied to be from testing conducted according to ASTM standards.
  • Microbial Purity and Preservative Effectiveness: Sample sizes for these microbial tests (cfu/g measurements, log reductions) are not specified. Data provenance is implied to be from testing conducted according to European Pharmacopoeia (EP) standards.

2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

  • Not applicable. The tests performed are laboratory-based and do not involve human expert interpretation for "ground truth" in the way an AI/ML diagnostic device would. For example, cytotoxicity is determined by cell viability assays, and irritation by pathological assessment after animal exposure, not by expert consensus on image interpretation.

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

  • Not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are typically used for medical image interpretation or clinical trial endpoints involving human judgment. The tests for a personal lubricant involve standardized laboratory procedures.

4. 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 is not an AI-assisted device.

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

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI/algorithm-based device.

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

  • The "ground truth" for the various tests corresponds to established scientific and regulatory standards:
    • Physical/Chemical Properties (Appearance, Odor, Viscosity, Osmolality, pH): Measured against defined numerical and descriptive specifications.
    • Microbial Purity & Preservative Effectiveness: Defined by colony-forming units (cfu/g) and log reduction thresholds established in European Pharmacopoeia (EP) standards.
    • Biocompatibility: Determined by standardized biological responses (e.g., cell viability in cytotoxicity, histological assessment in irritation, dermal response in sensitization, animal health in systemic toxicity) according to ISO 10993 series.
    • Condom Compatibility: Assessed using the standardized test method ASTM D7661-10.
    • Shelf Life: Determined by the ability of the device to maintain its physical, chemical, and microbial specifications over time under accelerated aging conditions.

7. The sample size for the training set:

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device; there is no "training set."

8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

  • Not applicable. Since there's no AI/ML component, there's no training set or associated ground truth.

Table 2: Technological Characteristics of Subject Device Compared to Predicate

The subject and predicate device have identical indications for use statements and have the same intended use.

The subject device and predicate devices have different technological characteristics, including a different 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 Liquid 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:

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

  • . Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5: 2009): The subject device test article showed no evidence cytotoxicity to L-929 cells and therefore is not cytotoxic.
  • . 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 Liquid 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 Liquid is as safe and effective as the predicate device and supports a determination of substantial equivalence.

(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.
