The device description focuses on electromechanical expansion and user control via buttons. There is no mention of AI/ML terms, image processing, or data training/testing related to AI/ML algorithms. The performance study is a self-selection study, not an AI/ML model validation.
Yes.
The device description explicitly states, "The Milli Vaginal Dilator is a patient-controlled vaginal dilator that provides therapy for vaginal tightness through stretching of the vaginal tissue under electromechanical expansion, one millimeter at a time." The intended use also mentions it can "help relieve the symptoms of vaginismus (condition that involves tightening of the vaginal muscles) and related painful sex." These phrases indicate a therapeutic purpose.
No
The device is described as a "tool intended for controlled dilation of the vagina" for therapeutic purposes (e.g., relieving symptoms of vaginismus) and preparation for procedures. While it tracks dilation progress, its primary function is not to diagnose a condition or illness.
No
The device description explicitly states it is an electromechanical device that expands electronically, is battery powered, and includes a charging case and USB/adaptor. These are all hardware components.
Based on the provided information, the Milli Vaginal Dilator is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Milli Vaginal Dilator Function: The Milli Vaginal Dilator is a physical tool used for controlled dilation of the vagina. It directly interacts with the body for therapeutic purposes (stretching tissue, relieving symptoms) and examination preparation. It does not analyze any bodily specimens.
The description clearly states its intended use is for physical dilation and therapy, not for analyzing biological samples.

Device Description
The Milli Vaginal Dilator is a patient-controlled vaginal dilator that provides therapy for vaginal tightness through stretching of the vaginal tissue under electromechanical expansion, one millimeter at a time. The Milli Vaginal Dilator expands electronically in increments of 1mm from a baseline of 15mm to 40mm in diameter. Dilation and contraction of the Milli Vaginal Dilator is at the control of the user with a simple button push of either the + or - buttons. The Milli Vaginal Dilator is a single vaginal dilator tool that encompasses the diameter range of many commercially available dilator sets, allowing the user to increase the diameter in smaller increments while the device remains inserted, eliminating the need for removal and insertion of larger sizes. The dilation setting is provided on the user interface to allow the user to easily track dilation progress. The Milli Vaginal Dilator also incorporates a vibration feature that may be used as desired to promote relaxation. The Milli Vaginal Dilator is battery powered and provided with a storing/charging case and a USB/adaptor to facilitate charging. The subject device is intended to be sold over the counter (OTC), to be purchased online without the support of a healthcare provider.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
The study was a prospective, single-arm, multi-center, single-blinded study enrolling subjects who were prospective users of the Milli Vaginal Dilator. The study enrolled 25 subjects, all of whom completed the study per protocol. The study assessed, via independent review of a mock Milli ordering website, and follow up questionnaires, whether prospective users of the Milli Vaginal Dilator could accurately determine if they were indicated for the Milli Vaginal Dilator without the support of a Health Care Professional (HCP). This was determined by a comparison of the subject's unaided selfassessment with the assessment by the healthcare professional, after an in-person evaluation of the subject and blinded to the subject's prior self-assessment.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Self-selection study:
- Study type: prospective, single-arm, multi-center, single-blinded study
- Sample size: 25 subjects
- Key Results: The results demonstrated that 96% (24 of 25) of the potential users of the Milli Vaginal Dilator could correctly determine whether they are appropriate candidates for use of the device, based on review of the Milli ordering webpage prior to purchase, and therefore provides sufficient information to support that OTC use of the Milli Vaginal Dilator is as effective as prescription use of the device.

The subject device is intended to be sold over the counter (OTC), to be purchased online without the support of a healthcare provider.
V. INDICATIONS FOR USE
The intended use of the subject device is identical to the predicate device. They are both intended for controlled dilation of the vaginal tissue for an examination, in preparation for a surgical procedure, or to help relieve the symptoms of vaginismus and related dyspareunia. The Indications for Use of the subject and predicate device are shown below. The only modification to the language cleared in the Indications for Use for the Milli Vaginal Dilator (Rx) is to include some lay terms in the OTC indication.

VI. COMPARISION OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
The technological characteristics of the predicate device are unchanged. Therefore, the technological characteristics of the subject device are substantially equivalent to the predicate Milli Vaginal Dilator (Rx) cleared under K211959.
PERFORMANCE DATA VII.
The proposed and predicate device are technologically identical. As such, all necessary nonclinical performance testing conducted to support the clearance of the predicate Milli Vaginal Dilator (Rx) (K211959) are applicable to the subject 510(k).

Nonclinical Testing Summary:
The nonclinical performance testing that supports the clearance of the subject device included the following:
- . Shelf-Life Storage and Packaging (Transit) Testing
- Biocompatibility Testing
- Software Verification Testing ●
- Electromagnetic Compatibility and Electrical Safety Testing ●
- Size and Dilation Design Verification ●
- Charging/Cleaning Verification ●
- Reliability Testing ●
- Engineering Evaluation ●
The collective results of the nonclinical performance testing demonstrate that the materials chosen, the manufacturing processes, and design of the Milli Vaginal Dilator meet the established specifications necessary for consistent performance for its intended use.
Clinical Testing Summary:
A self-selection study was conducted to assess whether potential users of the Milli Vaginal Dilator could accurately determine if they were indicated for use of the Milli Vaginal Dilator based on the device labeling (website).
The study was a prospective, single-arm, multi-center, single-blinded study enrolling subjects who were prospective users of the Milli Vaginal Dilator. The study enrolled 25 subjects, all of whom completed the study per protocol.
The study assessed, via independent review of a mock Milli ordering website, and follow up questionnaires, whether prospective users of the Milli Vaginal Dilator could accurately determine if they were indicated for the Milli Vaginal Dilator without the support of a Health Care Professional (HCP). This was determined by a comparison of the subject's unaided selfassessment with the assessment by the healthcare professional, after an in-person evaluation of the subject and blinded to the subject's prior self-assessment.
The results demonstrated that 96% (24 of 25) of the potential users of the Milli Vaginal Dilator could correctly determine whether they are appropriate candidates for use of the device, based on review of the Milli ordering webpage prior to purchase, and therefore provides sufficient information to support that OTC use of the Milli Vaginal Dilator is as effective as prescription use of the device.

VII. CONCLUSIONS
The subject device and the predicate device have the same intended use and technological characteristics. The differences in the Indications for Use statement do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. A self-selection study was conducted to support substantial equivalence of device effectiveness by evaluating self-diagnosis in the OTC population as compared to diagnosis by an HCP for the OTC indication of the subject device; in addition, a risk analysis concluded that there were no new risks for the OTC indication. Therefore, the Milli Vaginal Dilator for OTC use is substantially equivalent to the predicate Milli Vaginal Dilator for Rx use cleared under K211959.
