Indications for Use

Sheer Glyde Dams™, when properly used, may help reduce the risk of catching or spreading many Sexually Transmitted Diseases ("STDs") such as syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia infections, genital herpes, and AIDS; however, they cannot eliminate the risk. For maximum benefits, it is important to follow the instructions for use printed on the packaging. Failure to do so may result in the loss of the benefits of the Sheer Glyde Dams™. During intimate contact, lesions and various bodily fluids can transmit STDs. Therefore, the Sheer Glyde Dams™ should be applied each and every time before any such contact occurs. The Sheer Glyde Dams™ is removed from the wrapper and laid flat. The Sheer Glyde Dams™ is placed over the entire vulva, covering both the vaginal opening and the clitoris, or alternatively, over the entire anal area, including anus, while holding the ends of the Sheer Glyde Dams™. Optional: one side may be moistened with a commercially available water-based lubricant. The lubricated side of Sheer Glyde Dams™ is then placed over the entire vulva, covering both the vaginal opening and the clitoris, or alternatively, over the entire anal area, including anus, while holding the ends of the Sheer Glyde Dams™. The Sheer Glyde Dams™ is intended for single use only. Users are instructed not to re-use Sheer Glyde Dams™ because of possible cross-contamination, and they are instructed to use a separate and new Sheer Glyde Dams™ for the vaginal area and the anal area. Users are further instructed not to stretch the Sheer Glyde Dams™, and instructed to store them in a cool dry place at room temperature (59 degrees to 86 degrees Fahrenheit) and away from direct exposure to sunlight.

Device Story

Sheer Glyde Dams are thin, 10x6 inch natural rubber latex sheets; designed as physical barriers for oral-genital or oral-anal contact. Device is for single-use; applied by user over vulva or anal area to reduce transmission of STDs (syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, AIDS) via bodily fluids or lesions. Product is non-sterile; intended for over-the-counter use. Benefits include reduced risk of infection during intimate contact; however, device does not eliminate risk. Users must avoid stretching and use separate dams for vaginal and anal areas to prevent cross-contamination.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only, including biocompatibility, tensile strength/elongation, and virus testing.

Technological Characteristics

Natural rubber latex sheet; dimensions 10.0" x 6.0" x 0.08mm. Conforms to ASTM 1076-88. Single-use barrier. No electronic or software components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use as a barrier during cunnilingus or anilingus to help reduce the risk of STDs. Contraindicated for use during penetrating penile/vaginal or penile/anal intercourse. Contains natural rubber latex; contraindicated for individuals with latex allergies.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A condom is a sheath which completely covers the penis with a closely fitting membrane. The condom is used for contraceptive and for prophylactic purposes (preventing transmission of sexually transmitted infections). The device may also be used to collect semen to aid in the diagnosis of infertility.

Special Controls

*Classification.* (1) Class II (special controls) for condoms made of materials other than natural rubber latex, including natural membrane (skin) or synthetic.(2) Class II (special controls) for natural rubber latex condoms. The guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Labeling for Natural Rubber Latex Condoms Classified Under 21 CFR 884.5300” will serve as the special control. See § 884.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.

Telephone Number: 206.283.7664 Facsimile Number: 206.284.7554 Contact Person: Barbara Lippert Contact Title: President Date summary was prepared 01.07.99 Name(s) of the device Proprietary (Trade) Name: Sheer Glyde Dams™ Common or Usual Name: Latex dam ldentification of predicate device(s) Sheer Glyde Dams™ (previously named "Glyde Dam Lollyes™) {2}------------------------------------------------ #### Description of the device ## K990067 Note: There has been no change to the materials that comprise the product, or to the manufacturing or quality assurance processes: Sheer Glyde Dams™ are manufactured from good quality rubber latex conforming to ASTM 1076-88. The size of each Sheer Glyde Dams™ is 10.0 inches (± 0.1 inch) by 6.0 inches (± 0.1 inch) by 0.08 millimeters thick (+ 0.0006 millimeters.) Sheer Glyde Dams™ are designed to be used while performing either cunnilingus or anilingus. Qualification testing (biocompatibility, tensile strength/elongation, and virus) was previously performed to satisfactorily conclude that Sheer Glyde Dams™ operate as intended, when used properly. Finally, Sheer Glyde Dams™ are tested for a smooth surface (i.e.: the presence of cracks and blisters,) and are visually tested for holes, tears, foreign materials and the like, during the manufacturing process of each lot. #### Intended Use Sheer Glyde Dams™, when properly used, may help reduce the risk of catching or spreading many Sexually Transmitted Diseases ("STDs") such as syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia infections, genital herpes, and AIDS; however, they cannot eliminate the risk. For maximum benefits, it is important to follow the instructions for use printed on the packaging. Failure to do so may result in the loss of the benefits of the Sheer Glyde Dams™. During intimate contact, lesions and various bodily fluids can transmit STDs. Therefore, the Sheer Glyde Dams™ should be applied each and every time before any such contact occurs. The Sheer Glyde Dams™ is removed from the wrapper and laid flat. The Sheer Glyde Dams™ is placed over the entire vulva, covering both the vaginal opening and the clitoris, or alternatively, over the entire anal area, including anus, while holding the ends of the Sheer Glyde Dams™. Optional: one side may be moistened with a commercially available water-based lubricant. The lubricated side of Sheer Glyde Dams™ is then placed over the entire vulva, covering both the vaginal opening and the clitoris, or alternatively, over the {3}------------------------------------------------ entire anal area, including anus, while holding the ends of the Sheer Glyde Dams™. The Sheer Glyde Dams™ is intended for single use only. Users are instructed not to re-use Sheer Glyde Dams™ because of possible cross-contamination, and they are instructed to use a separate and new Sheer Glyde Dams™ for the vaginal area and the anal area. Users are further instructed not to stretch the Sheer Glyde Dams™, and instructed to store them in a cool dry place at room temperature (59 degrees to 86 degrees Fahrenheit) and away from direct exposure to sunlight. ### Comparison of device characteristics to predicate A comparison was made between the Sheer Glyde Dams™ and the legally marketed predicate product (Sheer Glyde Dams™). There has been no change in any of the material or performance characteristics. The only change is an addition to the indications for use of the product: during anilingus. Sheer Glyde Dams™ are substantially equivalent to the predicate product. #### Non clinical testing Biocompatibility, tensile strength/elongation and virus testing was performed on the Sheer Glyde Dams™as part of the original 510(k) Notification process. No additional testing is required as a result of the addition of the new indication for use. Testing is supportive of the new claim (i.e.: indication for use.) #### Conclusion In conclusion, the basis for substantial equivalence between the Sheer Glyde Dams™ and the legally marketed predicate product (Sheer Glyde Dams™) is that the products are identical, with the only difference being an added indication for use: namely, anilingus. This new indication for use does not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness. Based upon the information provided herein, it is our conclusion that the Sheer Glyde Dams™ are substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate product. {4}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/4/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
