AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from the FDA for a personal lubricant. It describes the device, its intended use, comparison to a predicate device, and performance data to support its substantial equivalence.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria are generally implied by the "Specification" column in Table 1 for device specifications and the successful outcomes of the various performance tests. The reported device performance is indicated by the statement that the device met these specifications and that the tests demonstrated the desired safety and compatibility.

2. Sample Sizes Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document does not specify the exact sample sizes (e.g., number of units tested for viscosity, number of animals/samples for biocompatibility). The studies are performance tests conducted on the final device, not clinical trials with human subjects.

  • Data Provenance: The studies were conducted by the manufacturer (Solevy Co. LLC) to support their 510(k) submission. The location or specific laboratory where these tests were performed is not mentioned within the given text. It is implied to be retrospective testing for regulatory submission.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications

Since this is a submission for a personal lubricant, not an AI/imaging device, the concept of "experts establishing ground truth for a test set" in the context of diagnostic interpretation is not applicable here. The "ground truth" for this device comes from established laboratory testing standards (e.g., USP, ASTM D7661-10, ISO 10993-1) and their objective measurements.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. The tests are objective measurements based on defined standards, not subjective interpretations requiring adjudication.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done

No. This type of study (MRMC) is relevant for diagnostic imaging devices where human readers interpret medical images. This document is for a medical device (personal lubricant) that does not involve image interpretation or human reading of diagnostic outputs.

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

Not applicable. This is not an algorithmic or AI device. The "performance" refers to the physical and biological properties of the lubricant itself.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for this device is based on:

  • Established industry standards and test methods: e.g., USP <912> for viscosity, USP <61>/<1111> for microbial counts, ASTM D7661-10 for condom compatibility, and ISO 10993-1 for biocompatibility.
  • Defined specifications: The quantitative and qualitative values (e.g., viscosity range, microbial limits, absence of pathogens, non-toxic, non-irritating).
  • Predicate device characteristics: The subject device is shown to have "the same technological characteristics" and "the same intended use" as the predicate device (JO Premium Personal Lubricant K132954), implying that the predicate's established safety and effectiveness serve as a practical ground truth for equivalence.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. There is no "training set" in the context of an AI/ML model for this type of medical device submission. The device is a physical product, and its performance is evaluated through direct testing against predefined standards.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not applicable, as there is no training set for this product.
