Intended Use
The Rejoyn Penile Support System is intended for use by men who have an inability to engage in sexual intercourse due to a flaccid or partially erect penis resulting from impotence.
Device Description
The Rejoyn penile support system consists of a semi-rigid split support sleeve molded from medical grade rubber with an attachment strap. The sleeve is placed over the penis with the split side down and the strap is fastened behind the scrotum. The sleeve is approximately 2 1/4" long. The system may also include a lubricated latex cover which may be worn over the sleeve to enhance comfort. Another version of the Rejoyn system includes a single-use, disposable support sleeve in lieu of the reusable support sleeve. The single-use sleeve is made of the same materials as the reusable sleeve but is removed after use by breaking off one end of the attachment strap at a specified location. The Rejoyn system will be available in five different package variations: (1) one support sleeve, three covers and one tube of lubricating jelly; (2) one support sleeve and one tube of lubricating jelly; (3) one support sleeve and three covers; (4) three single-use support sleeves, three covers and one tube of lubricating jelly; and (5) three single-use support sleeves and three covers. Replacement covers and lubricating jelly also will be available separately.

No
The device description details a purely mechanical support system with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
Explanation: The device is intended for men with impotence to enable sexual intercourse, which addresses a medical condition, fitting the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

The device description indicates that the Rejoyn Penile Support System is a physical support system (a semi-rigid split support sleeve) intended to assist with penile flaccidity, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of medical-grade rubber, including a sleeve and strap, and mentions optional latex covers and lubricating jelly. There is no mention of software as a component of this system.

Based on the provided information, the Rejoyn Penile Support System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. This typically involves testing blood, urine, tissue, or other bodily fluids to diagnose diseases, monitor health, or screen for conditions.
  • The Rejoyn Penile Support System is a physical device applied externally to the body. Its function is to provide physical support to the penis to facilitate sexual intercourse. It does not involve the analysis of any biological specimens.

The intended use and device description clearly indicate a mechanical support system for external use, which falls outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21. Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivation assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
