Intended Use

The Simplex brand condom is a male contraceptive device, fabricated of natural latex, which is designed to completely cover the penis during sexual intercourse. This condom is intended to be used for contraception and for prophylactics purposes. If used properly, this condom will help reduce the risk of transmission of HIV infection (AIDS) and many other sexually transmitted diseases including chlamydia, genital herpes, genital warts, gonorrhea, hepatitis B and syphilis. In addition, this condom will help reduce the risk of pregnancy without the serious side effects sometimes associated with other methods. However, no contraceptive can guarantee 100 % effectiveness. Failure to use as directed, may further result in loss of protection. Furthermore. sexually transmitted diseases can be transmitted through lesions and various body fluids, during intimate contact. Therefore, the condom should be applied before any such contact.

Device Description

This condom is made of a natural rubber latex sheath, which completely covers the penis with a closely fitted membrane. This condom is made of first grade latex material, teatended, single wall and contoured. Its dimensions are: length 170mm minimum, width: 51mm, thickness: 0.04-0.06 mm (single wall), weight: 1.0-1.3 gm/piece

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (Simplex Condoms). It details the device's description, intended use, and technological characteristics, and declares substantial equivalence to a predicate device. However, it does not contain any information about acceptance criteria or specific studies proving the device meets those criteria.

510(k) summaries, by nature, focus on demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device rather than presenting detailed performance studies against specific acceptance criteria. This process often relies on existing standards, historical performance of similar devices, and general controls.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information based on the input text. The document does not include:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
  2. Sample sizes or data provenance for test sets.
  3. Number and qualifications of experts for ground truth.
  4. Adjudication method.
  5. MRMC comparative effectiveness study or effect size.
  6. Standalone algorithm performance.
  7. Type of ground truth used.
  8. Sample size for the training set.
  9. How ground truth for the training set was established.

The document indicates that the device's design is in conformance with WHO, ISO, EN 600, DIN, and ASTM D3492-96, which are likely the standards against which the device's physical properties (like dimensions, burst strength, etc.) would be tested. However, the specific results of these tests are not provided in this 510(k) summary.
