Intended Use
For Latex Sensitive Condom Users: This is a TACTYLON® condom. This is not a latex condom. You may use this TACTYLON ® condom if you or your partner are allergic to latex. You should know: The risks of pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including AIDS . (HIV infection), are not known for this condom. A study is being done. There are laboratory tests on this TACTYLON® material. These tests show that . organisms even as small as sperm and viruses like HIV cannot pass through it. Latex condoms for men, if used correctly with every act of vaginal intercourse are highly effective at preventing pregnancy, as well as STDs, including AIDS (HIV infection).
Device Description
The TACTYLON® condom is made from styrene-ethylene-butylenestyrene thermoplastic elastomer block copolymer but has physical properties (e.g., strength, elasticity, and tactility) and general form that are substantially equivalent to a NRL condom.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a condom made from a specific material and its physical properties and clinical performance. There is no mention of AI or ML technology.

No
The device is a condom, which is a contraceptive and a barrier for preventing STDs, not a therapeutic device designed to treat or cure a disease or condition.

No

A condom is a barrier device used for contraception and prevention of STDs, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical condom made from a thermoplastic elastomer block copolymer, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for contraception and prevention of STDs during sexual intercourse. This is a direct interaction with the body for a physical purpose, not for testing a sample from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The device is a condom, a physical barrier.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide diagnostic information. The "laboratory tests" mentioned are barrier tests on the material itself, not diagnostic tests on human samples.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This condom does not fit that definition.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

  • Clinical trials conducted on the non-lubricated TACTYLON® material indicated it is nontoxic, nonirritating, and nonsensitizing. In the modified Draize test conducted in 200 human subjects, TACTYLON® was nonirritating and nonsensitizing in all 200 subjects.
  • When a group of 20 latex-sensitive individuals was subjected to use tests and skin prick tests, TACTYLON® caused no adverse reactions.
  • In a clinical trial of TACTYLON® lubricated condoms, the clinical breakage and slippage rates as well as the subjective perceptions were studied. These trials showed that the clinical breakage of the Baggy TACTYLON® condoms were similar to the Standard TACTYLON® condom cleared by 510(k) K953583 and the High Elongation condom cleared by 510(k) K971590.
  • The results of both the nonclinical and the clinical studies suggest that TACTYLON® material is nonallergenic, nonirritating, and nontoxic when in contact with either the intact dermis or mucosal tissue for clinically relevant periods.
  • Furthermore, the barrier was as impermeable to a viral surrogate as NRL in nonclinical studies and tolerated the stresses associated with use as well as NRL in a large clinical trial.
  • The barrier properties of TACTYLON® are substantially equivalent to NRL as demonstrated by an in vitro challenge with a viral surrogate (φ X174) to simulate the HIV (AIDS) measured by an extremely sensitive assay.

    1. Natural Rubber Latex products present a risk of anaphylaxis for individuals with Type I immediate hypersensitivity to Natural Rubber Latex (NRL) and can cause less dangerous, but uncomfortable, symptoms in individuals with Type IV delayed hypersensitivity. The synthetic TACTYLON® condom contains neither NRL protein allergens nor sensitizing chemicals. It therefore represents a suitable alternative for latex sensitive individuals. Furthermore, muscle exposure to NRL appears to be one of the primary routes of sensitization for Type I allergies.1
    1. The TACTYLON® condom is made from styrene-ethylene-butylenestyrene thermoplastic elastomer block copolymer but has physical properties (e.g., strength, elasticity, and tactility) and general form that are substantially equivalent to a NRL condom.
  • (B) The safety and efficacy of TACTYLON® involves two major issues: the potential allergenicity and toxicity of the material and the efficacy of the material's barrier.
      1. The TACTYLON® block copolymer is a compound that meets the FDA requirements for Class VI materials, the most stringent category for nontoxicity. The plasticizer used is a USP recognized by the FDA as safe for human consumption. Toxicity is therefore not a relevant safety issue as evidenced by the following studies of the non-lubricated Standard condom (K911431). Neither primary skin irritation nor vaginal mucosal irritation was found in a rabbit model. There was no evidence of irritation or toxicity in a 3-day, 7-day, or 90-day surgical mucosal implantation study in a rabbit model. Furthermore, no delayed dermal sensitization occurred in a guinea pig model. No mutagenic changes were found in histidine dependent mutant strains of Salmonella typhimurium when exposed to

either saline or DMSO extracts of TACTYLON®. In addition, there were no positive indicators resulting from a Cytotoxicity test, by the USP elution method (MG 057), on samples which had been real-time aged for 14 Also, the lubricated condom (K953583) was tested for months. Cytotoxicity on unaged, as well as aged (oven conditioned), sample at 70°C for seven (7) days with no positive indicators. The lubricated condom was tested for systemic toxicity using Saline and Cottonseed Oil as well as for vaginal irritation in rabbits using saline extract. These tests both meet the USP requirements.

The barrier properties of TACTYLON® are substantially equivalent to NRL as demonstrated by an in vitro challenge with a viral surrogate (φ X174) to simulate the HIV (AIDS) measured by an extremely sensitive assay. As with NRL products, however, petroleum-based lubricants should be avoided. Because the chemical structure of the copolymer has no unsaturated bond, TACTYLON® is resistant to conditions such as ultraviolet radiation, ozone, oxygen, heat and humidity, that can accelerate aging and adversely affect barrier properties.

  • Clinical trials conducted on the non-lubricated TACTYLON® material 2. indicated it is nontoxic, nonirritating, and nonsensitizing. In the modified Draize test conducted in 200 human subjects, TACTYLON® was nonirritating and nonsensitizing in all 200 subjects.

TACTYLON® condoms were similar to the Standard TACTYLON® condom cleared by 510(k) K953583 and the High Elongation condom cleared by 510(k) K971590 3

TACTYLON® material is nonallergenic, nonirritating, and nontoxic when in contact with either the intact dermis or mucosal tissue for clinically relevant periods. Furthermore, the barrier was as impermeable to a viral surrogate as NRL in nonclinical studies and tolerated the stresses associated with use as well as NRL in a large clinical trial. The copolymer's chemistry confers a distinct advantage over NRL in terms of potential shelf-life.
