Intended Use
Lubriglide is a non-sterile personal lubricant for over-the-counter use. Its primary use is to apply the product to the genital area to reduce the discomfort associated with sexual activity. Lubriglide can also be used to lubricate rectal thermometers, tampons, douches, and enemas.
Device Description
Lubriglide is a water-based, water-soluble personal lubricant designed to imitate the body's own lubricating fluids. It is nonirritating, non-staining, and won't dry out or leave behind any solid residues. Lubriglide is non-toxic and is easily removed with water.
More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a personal lubricant and does not mention any AI or ML technology in its intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No.
The device's stated primary use is for comfort during sexual activity and other lubrication needs, rather than to treat or prevent a disease or condition. Its function is primarily mechanical lubrication.

No
The device description states that Lubriglide is a personal lubricant for reducing discomfort and lubricating various items, not for diagnosing any medical condition.

No

The device description clearly indicates that Lubriglide is a physical product (a water-based lubricant) and not a software application. The 510(k) summary focuses on the physical properties and performance of the lubricant.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use of Lubriglide is for personal lubrication during sexual activity and for lubricating medical devices used externally or rectally (thermometers, tampons, douches, enemas). This is a physical function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties of the lubricant (water-based, non-irritating, etc.) and its function as a lubricant.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information about a disease or condition.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on stability, preservative effectiveness, and comparison to a predicate personal lubricant, not on diagnostic accuracy or performance.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the body to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions. Lubriglide's function is purely physical lubrication.
