2. Sample Sizes Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
The document describes non-clinical performance testing. It does not refer to a "test set" in the context of clinical trials with human subjects or a defined set of "cases." Instead, the testing involves laboratory-based assessments of the lubricant's physical, chemical, and biological properties.
-
Sample Size:
- Human Sperm Survival Assay (HSSA): Not explicitly stated, but typically involves multiple replicates and control groups for in vitro testing.
- Biocompatibility: Not explicitly stated, but ISO standards typically define sample sizes for in vitro and in vivo (e.g., animal) tests.
- Condom Compatibility: Not explicitly stated, but ASTM D7661-10 specifies the number of condoms and lubricant applications for testing.
- Shelf-Life, Appearance/Color, Odor, pH, Osmolality, Viscosity, Microbial Count, Endotoxin, Antimicrobial Effectiveness: These are typically performed on multiple batches of the product at various time points during stability studies. The exact number of samples tested is not quantified in the summary.
-
Data Provenance: The studies are non-clinical, laboratory-based tests. The country of origin of the data is not specified, but the testing was conducted according to international standards (e.g., ISO, USP, ASTM). The data is prospective in the sense that the tests were designed and executed to evaluate the specific product.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications:
Not applicable. This is a non-clinical device, not an AI/diagnostic device that typically requires expert-established ground truth for a test set. The "ground truth" here is objective laboratory measurements against predefined specifications and validated assay methods.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
Not applicable, as this is non-clinical performance testing against objective criteria, not a diagnostic or AI study requiring adjudication of expert interpretations.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done:
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic devices, particularly those involving image interpretation by human readers. The Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant is a personal lubricant, not a diagnostic device.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) was Done:
Not applicable. This is a physical and chemical product, not an algorithm or AI system. Its performance is inherent in its formulation and physical properties, tested in a standalone manner (the lubricant itself against criteria).
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
The ground truth used for these non-clinical tests is based on:
- Objective laboratory measurements: Directly measured physical and chemical properties (pH, osmolality, viscosity, appearance, odor, endotoxin levels, microbial counts).
- Validated assay outcomes: Results from standardized biological assays like the Human Sperm Survival Assay (HSSA), which measures sperm motility against a control.
- Compliance with international standards: Biocompatibility testing according to ISO 10993 series and condom compatibility testing per ASTM D7661-10. These standards define the procedures and acceptance criteria.
- Stability data: Measuring the maintenance of all specifications over time to establish shelf-life.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
Not applicable. There is no concept of a "training set" for this type of non-clinical device performance testing. The lubricant's formulation and manufacturing processes are developed to meet the desired specifications, and then the final product is tested against those specifications.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:
Not applicable, as there is no training set mentioned or implied for this non-clinical device.

The subject and predicate devices do not have identical indications for use statements; however, these differences do not alter the intended use of the subject device, which is identical to the predicate device.
As noted in the table, the subject and predicate device have different technological characteristics, including different formulations, condom compatibility, specifications (e.g., endotoxin, appearance, odor, pH, viscosity, etc.). The differences in technological characteristics between the subject and predicate device do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
Performance Data:
As part of demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate device, the following non-clinical performance tests were conducted:
{7}------------------------------------------------
Biocompatibility:
Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant underwent biocompatibility testing including cytotoxicity per ISO 10993-5:2009, vaginal irritation per ISO 10993-10:2010, guinea pig maximization sensitization per ISO 10993-10:2010 and acute systemic toxicity per ISO 10993-11:2006. The testing demonstrated that the Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant is biocompatible.
Non-clinical Performance Testing.
Human sperm survival assay (HSSA), and lubricant barrier assay testing was conducted and indicates that Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant is compatible with sperm and does not inhibit sperm motility.
Condom Compatibility:
Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant was tested for condom compatibility per ASTM D7661-10: Standard Test Method for Determining Compatibility of Personal Lubricants with Natural Rubber Latex Condoms. The results of this test indicate that Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant is compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms. Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant is not compatible with polyurethane condoms.
Shelf-Life:
Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant has a 22-month shelf-life based on the results from accelerated and real-time stability testing. The results of accelerated aging shelf-life testing demonstrated that Pre-Seed IM Fertility Lubricant maintains its specifications for appearance/color, odor, pH, osmolality, viscosity. TAMC, TYMC, absence of pathogenic organisms, antimicrobial effectiveness, endotoxins, HSSA, and lubricant barrier testing over the duration of its proposed shelf-life of 22 months.
Substantial Equivalence:
The results of performance testing described above demonstrate that the Pre-Seed™ Fertility 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.
