AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for a natural rubber latex condom. It does not contain any information about a study with acceptance criteria and device performance data for an AI/ML powered device.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for:

  • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
  • Sample sizes, data provenance, number of experts, adjudication method, MRMC study details, standalone performance, type of ground truth, or training set information.

The document discusses the device's proprietary name ("Double Springers"), common name ("Latex Condom"), classification, and intended use for contraception and prophylactic purposes. It also mentions that the condom design conforms with ASTM Latex Condom Standard D 3492 and is a patented design (US Patent No: 5,836,308) with a special design to enhance acceptability.

The FDA's letter (pages 2-3 of the provided text) confirms the substantial equivalence of the "Double Springers" condom to legally marketed predicate devices, allowing it to proceed to market. It also provides guidance on labeling requirements for latex condoms regarding expiration dating.

In summary, this document is for a traditional medical device (latex condom) and does not involve AI/ML technology or studies related to its performance against acceptance criteria in an AI/ML context.

Natural Rubber Latex Condoms - Double Springers Dated: January 31, 2000 Received: February 7, 2000 Regulatory Class: II 21 CFR §884.5300/Procode: 85 HIS

Dear Dr. Reddy:

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 legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, 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 (Special Controls) or class III (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 equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, 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.

Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

Page 2 - A.V.K. Reddy, M.D.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market

Please be advised that, as of March 25, 1998, labeling for latex condoms (21 CFR 884.5300 and 884.5310) must comply with Use Labeling for Latex Condoms: Expiration Dating, 21 CFR 801.435. Therefore, an expiration date, supported by test data developed under the conditions specified in 801.435(d), must be displayed prominently and legibly on condom labeling. For condoms with spermicidal lubricant, the effective shelf life of the spermicide must be compared with the shelf life of the condom and labeled with the earlier of the two expiration dates. Although supporting data is not to be provided in your 510(k) submission, 801.435(j) requires that you maintain this data and that it be available for inspection by FDA. Furthermore, 801.435(e) requires that if your real-time test data fails to confirm the shelf life estimated by the methods in 801.435(d), then you must relabel all products to reflect the actual shelf life. Condoms are not to be labeled with an expiration date that gives a shelf life more than five years.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4616. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification"(21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number: (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597, or at its Internet address: "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html".

Sincerely yours.
