Unscented Tampon
The Unscented Tampon is intended for insertion into the vagina for the absorption of menstrual or other vaginal discharge.
The Unscented Tampons are traditional unscented menstrual tampons. Except for the raw materials, they share the same design. The Unscented Tampons are provided with a cardboard applicator tampon. Each device consists of a tampon, including an absorbent 100% organic cotton or 100% viscose pledget , a 100% organic cotton or polyester and cotton removal string ("withdrawal cord"), and a cardboard applicator . The tampon is of the traditional cylindrical, bullet-like shape. The applicator has a smooth, rounded tip to ease insertion. The Unscented Tampons are provided in 4 absorbencies: light (less than or equal to 6g), regular (69g), super (912g) and super plus (12~15g). Each device is individually wrapped. It is provided non-sterile and for single use only.
The provided text describes the 510(k) premarket notification for an "Unscented Tampon." As such, the acceptance criteria and performance study details relate to the safety and performance of a medical device (a tampon), not an AI/algorithm-based device or a diagnostic tool.
Therefore, I cannot extract information related to:

- Number of experts, their qualifications, or adjudication methods for ground truth in AI.
- Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness studies for AI.
- Stand-alone (algorithm-only) performance.
- Training set sample sizes or ground truth establishment for AI.
The document discusses "acceptance criteria" and "study" in the context of non-clinical testing for a physical medical device (tampon) to demonstrate its substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

Ontex Unscented Tampons with Colored Plastic Applicators
The Ontex Unscented Tampons with Colored Plastic Applicators are inserted into the vagina to absorb menstrual discharge.
Tampons included in this submission are conventional unscented menstrual tampons consisting of an absorbent pledget (viscose material in a W-shape wadding form), polyester/cotton withdrawal cord, and a polymeric overwrap. The tampon component of this submission is identical to that cleared in the predicate submission (K122603).
Tampons included in this submission are placed in the vagina using a polyethylene applicator. The applicator is available in two sizes: full size (long) or compact size. The full size applicator is ready for use. The compact size consists of an inner and outer tube that requires the inner tube to be retracted prior to use. Applicators included in this submission are provided in different colors including green, yellow, lilac, orange and pink.
The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for a medical device (tampons). It describes the device, its intended use, and compares it to a predicate device to establish substantial equivalence. However, it does not contain the kind of detailed study information (like acceptance criteria, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert ground truth qualifications, or MRMC studies) that would be present for a diagnostic AI/ML device.
Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for information about acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, as this document does not contain that level of detail for this type of medical device submission.
Here's why the requested information isn't available in the provided text:
- Type of Device: The device is a physical product (tampon) and not a diagnostic AI system or software. The "performance" being discussed relates to physical properties and material safety, not diagnostic accuracy.
- Regulatory Pathway: A 510(k) submission for a Class II device like a tampon focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. This typically involves performance tests for physical characteristics and biocompatibility, rather than clinical efficacy studies with expert ground truth validation in the way an AI diagnostic tool would require.
- Lack of AI/ML Component: The request specifically asks about "device performance" in a context usually applied to AI/ML or diagnostic devices, which this tampon is not.
If you have a document describing an AI/ML diagnostic device, I would be able to extract the requested details.

ONTEX ROLL WADDING PLASTIC APPLICATOR COMPACT SIZE UNSCENTED TAMPONS
The Roll wadding plastic Applicator Compact size Unscented Tampons are inserted into the vagina to absorb menstrual discharge.
The Roll wadding plastic Applicator Compact size Unscented Tampon is a menstrual tampon. These tampons are unscented tampons it means without any perfume. These tampons are made from viscose material and polymeric overwrap. The withdrawal cord is made from polyester and cotton. These tampons have an applicator. The applicator is made from plastic (polyethylene). . The applicator is in a compact size meaning that the inner tube and the outer tube are slided into each other telescopically so the inner tube needs to be retracted before usage. These tampons have a Roll wadding form. In a roll tampon, the fleece band is folded and then rolled (like a Swiss roll) before being radially pressed. The Roll wadding plastic Applicator Compact size Unscented Tampon is available in 3 absorbencies: regular, super plus absorbency (regular (6-9g), super (9-12g), and super plus (12-15g)).
This document describes a 510(k) summary for the "ONTEX ROLL WADDING PLASTIC APPLICATOR COMPACT SIZE UNSCENTED TAMPONS." The submission aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device rather than presenting a novel device requiring extensive clinical trials for effectiveness. Therefore, the provided text focuses on conformance to existing standards and comparison with the predicate, not a study evaluating human reader improvement with AI or standalone algorithm performance.
Here's the breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the "study" (bench testing and comparison) that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Acceptance Criteria / Performance Metric | Predicate Device Specification (Implicitly the Acceptance Criteria for New Device) | Reported Device Performance (New Device) |
---|---|---|
Biocompatibility | Non-cytotoxic, non-irritant, no acute systemic toxicity, no dermal irritation, no allergic contact sensitization (based on predicate) | Non-cytotoxic, non-irritant, no terminal or gross observations in reproductive tracts, no toxic signs, negligible dermal response. No potential for dermal irritation or allergic contact sensitization. |
Microbiology | Doesn't enhance Staphylococcus aureus growth, doesn't increase TSST-1 production, no effect on culture pH, doesn't alter normal vaginal microflora (based on predicate) | Doesn't enhance Staphylococcus aureus growth, doesn't increase TSST-1 production, no effect on culture pH, doesn't alter normal vaginal microflora. |
Absorptive Capacity (Syngina) | Within specifications for predicate devices (not quantified in text, but implied to be appropriate for absorption levels like 6-9g, 9-12g, 12-15g) | Gives similar results within predefined specifications (no specific numbers provided) |
Fiber Loss | Less than 1 mg (for predicate) | Less than 1 mg |
Cord Strength | Less than 50N (same as predicate Roll Digital Tampon in viscose) | Less than 50N |
Expulsion Force of Applicator | Less than 6N (specification) | Less than 6N |
Microbiology Batch Testing: | ||
- Total Viable Count (TVC) | Less than 200 cfu/g of tampon | Less than 10 cfu/g of tampon |
- Yeasts/Moulds | Less than 20 cfu/g of tampon | Less than 10 cfu/g of tampon |
- Candida albicans | Absent in 1g of tampon (negativity) | Absent in 1g of tampon |
- Gram-negative bacteria | Absent in 1g of tampon (negativity) | Absent in 1g of tampon |
- Staphylococcus aureus | Absent in 1g of tampon (negativity) | Absent in 1g of tampon |
- Pseudomonas aeruginusa | Absent in 1g of tampon (negativity) | Absent in 1g of tampon |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not specify a distinct "test set" in the context of a clinical study with human subjects. The testing described is primarily bench testing and relies on the prior testing of the predicate device.
- Bench Testing: The sample sizes for "Absorptive Capacity (Syngina)," "Fiber loss," "Cord strength," "Expulsion force of the applicator," and "Microbiology batch testing" are not explicitly stated. These would typically involve a certain number of tampons tested per batch or per absorbency, but no specific numbers are given.
- Data Provenance: The data provenance is internal testing performed by the manufacturer (ONTEX) and reliance on prior testing of their own predicate device (K122603). The location of this testing is not specified beyond "ONTEX BVBA SPINNERIJSTRAAT 12 9240 ZELE BELGIUM". It is retrospective in the sense that the biocompatibility and broader microbiology claims are based on the predicate's past performance. New bench tests were performed for the "Performance Testing - Bench" section.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
No experts were used to establish ground truth in the context of human-reviewed data, as this is not a study assessing diagnostic accuracy or similar performance. The ground truth for bench tests is the objective measurement against a predefined specification.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. There was no human-reviewed test set or patient data requiring adjudication in a clinical context.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
No. The document presents a 510(k) summary for a menstrual tampon, which is a medical device, not a diagnostic or AI-driven system. Therefore, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers and AI is not relevant to this submission.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
No. This submission is for a physical medical device (tampon), not an algorithm or software. Therefore, standalone algorithm performance is not applicable.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established by:
- Objective Bench Test Specifications: For metrics like fiber loss, cord strength, expulsion force, and microbiological counts, the "ground truth" is adherence to pre-defined numerical or qualitative specifications that demonstrate safety and performance equivalent to legally marketed devices.
- Predicate Device Performance: For biocompatibility and the broader microbiological safety profile, the ground truth relies on the established safety and effectiveness of the predicate device. The new device is considered substantially equivalent because its materials, manufacturing, and intended use are identical, and its design modifications do not adversely alter the safety profile.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. There is no "training set" in the context of an AI/ML algorithm for this physical device.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable.

TAMPAX PEARL UNSCENTED TAMPONS, LIGHT, REGULAR, SUPER & SUPER PLUS, TAMPAX PEARL UNSCENTED TAMPONS, ULTRA
TAMPAX® Pearl Plastic Applicator Unscented Tampons are menstrual tampons that are inserted into the vagina and used to absorb menstrual fluid.
The device is a conventional unscented menstrual tampon consisting of an absorbent pledget, an overwrap, a withdrawal cord, an absorbent braid, and an applicator.
This document provides a 510(k) summary for the TAMPAX® Pearl Plastic Applicator Unscented Tampons. The purpose of this summary is to demonstrate the device's substantial equivalence to predicate devices, focusing on safety and effectiveness.
Here’s an analysis of the provided information, framed by your requested criteria:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Acceptance Criteria Category | Description of Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|---|
Safety - Toxicology | Compliance with FDA guidance and applicable standards for irritation testing, sensitization testing, acute toxicity, and cytotoxicity. | Favorable safety outcomes reported from preclinical toxicology testing. Specific results (e.g., irritation score thresholds) are not provided, but the conclusion is that the device met the safety requirements in these areas. |
Safety - Microbiology | No impact on the growth of Staphylococcus aureus; no impact on normal vaginal microflora; no increase in the production of TSST-1 (Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin-1). | Preclinical microbiology testing confirmed that the device "does not impact the growth of Staphylococcus aureus or the normal vaginal microflora, nor does it increase the production of TSST-1." |
Safety - Clinical Adverse Events | Absence of adverse events related to the test products during clinical trials. | "In the clinical trials that were performed, no adverse events related to the test products were reported." |
Effectiveness - Absorbency | Compliance with the syngyna absorbency requirements of 21 CFR 801.430. This regulation defines the standard laboratory test for determining the absorbency of menstrual tampons. | "TAMPAX® Pearl Plastic Applicator Unscented Tampons comply with the syngyna absorbency requirements of 21 CFR 801.430." The report explicitly states, "Therefore, additional testing of these tampons is not necessary to establish their equivalence to the predicate tampons in terms of effectiveness." This indicates that the device met the regulatory absorbency standard. |
Substantial Equivalence (Overall) | The device is equally as safe and effective as the predicate devices in terms of component materials, overall design, intended use, labeling, and performance. The primary change in the 510(k) device is the incorporation of a process aid to decrease microwave setting time for the pledget, which should not affect safety or effectiveness. | The submission concludes that "The results of evaluations of this device support the conclusions that it is safe for its intended use and that it is substantially equivalent to the cited predicate devices with regard to safety and effectiveness." The FDA's 510(k) clearance letter confirms this substantial equivalence determination. |
Since this is a 510(k) summary for a menstrual tampon, the "AI" related questions are not applicable to this type of medical device submission. The device described does not involve AI, image analysis, or expert-driven diagnostic interpretations. Therefore, sections 2-6 and 8-9 are specifically tailored to human-read diagnostic studies or AI-driven medical devices and cannot be fully answered or are entirely irrelevant for this tampon submission.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Test Set (Clinical Trials): The exact sample size for the clinical trials is not specified in the provided text. The document states "In the clinical trials that were performed..." but does not give numerical details about participants.
- Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin of the data. It implies prospective clinical evaluations ("clinical trials that were performed").
- Preclinical Testing: No sample sizes are provided for the preclinical toxicology or microbiology testing.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
- Not Applicable. This is a physical medical device (tampon), not a diagnostic device requiring expert interpretation or ground truth establishment in the traditional sense of image analysis or diagnostic studies. The safety and effectiveness are assessed through laboratory tests and clinical observations rather than expert consensus on a diagnostic output.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Not Applicable. As above, this is not a diagnostic study requiring adjudication of expert opinions. Clinical observations were made during trials, and laboratory tests were conducted, but an adjudication method for a "test set" in the context of interpretation is not relevant here.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
- Not Applicable. This is not a diagnostic device, and therefore neither an MRMC study nor AI assistance is relevant.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not Applicable. This device does not involve an algorithm or AI.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
For this device, "ground truth" is established through:
- Standardized Laboratory Testing: For absorbency, the syngyna absorbency test (21 CFR 801.430) serves as the defined standard. For toxicology and microbiology, standard methods are used to determine parameters like irritation, sensitization, and microbial growth/toxin production. These are objective measures against predefined criteria.
- Clinical Observation: Absence of adverse events in clinical trials serves as "ground truth" for clinical safety, relying on participant reporting and investigator observation.
- Comparison to Predicate: The ultimate "ground truth" for substantial equivalence is that the new device performs equivalently to the legally marketed predicate devices, as demonstrated by the above tests.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not Applicable. This device does not involve an algorithm or AI, so there is no "training set."
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not Applicable. This device does not involve an algorithm or AI, so there is no "training set" and therefore no ground truth established for it.

- The formed pledget is inserted into a plastic applicator consisting of an inner . pusher tube and an outer insertion tube with a closed, rounded tip.
- Each tampon is wrapped in an individual plastic film wrapper and packaged . in sealed multi-unit containers for retail sale.
This document describes the Procter & Gamble Company's 510(k) submission for TAMPAX® Compak Pearl Plastic Applicator Scented and Unscented Tampons (K062638). This submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than proving performance against specific acceptance criteria in a traditional artificial intelligence or medical imaging context. Therefore, many of the requested fields are not applicable or cannot be extracted from the provided text.
Here is an analysis based on the provided document:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Acceptance Criteria (What was measured) | Reported Device Performance (Compliance) |
---|---|
Safety (e.g., biocompatibility) | "A battery of safety tests was conducted, including in vitro microbiological testing, biocompatibility testing and extraction testing... The results of these safety tests support the conclusion that these 510(k) devices are equally as safe as the predicate devices." |
Effectiveness (Absorbency) | "TAMPAX® Compak Pearl Plastic Applicator Scented Tampons and TAMPAX® Compak Pearl Plastic Applicator Unscented Tampons comply with the syngyna absorbency requirements of 21 CFR 801.430." |
Substantial Equivalence to Predicate Devices (Overall) | "The results of evaluations of these devices support the conclusions that they are safe for their intended use and that they are substantially equivalent to the cited predicate devices with regard to safety and effectiveness." |
Technological Characteristics (Material, Design, Labeling) | "These devices are similar to the predicate devices in terms of component materials, overall design and labeling. These devices incorporate a change in the fragrance (scented version), changes in the colorants used in the plastic applicators, changes in the dimensions of the pad of absorbent fibers, and a change in the pledget overwrap configuration." |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
Not applicable. This is a medical device submission, not an AI or diagnostic imaging study. The "tests" mentioned are referring to laboratory and performance evaluations for the tampon's physical and biological properties.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Experts
Not applicable. Ground truth as understood in AI/imaging studies (e.g., expert consensus on image interpretation) is not relevant here. The "truth" for safety and effectiveness is established by standardized laboratory testing and regulatory compliance.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. This concept is not relevant to the described testing.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done
No. This type of study is for evaluating the performance of diagnostic systems, often in comparison to human readers. This submission is for a physical medical device (tampon).
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. There is no algorithm or AI component involved in this device.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for this device's evaluation is primarily established through:
- Regulatory Standards: Compliance with specific CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) requirements, such as 21 CFR 801.430 for syngyna absorbency.
- Laboratory Testing: Results from in vitro microbiological testing, biocompatibility testing, and extraction testing using established scientific methodologies.
- Predicate Device Comparison: Establishing equivalence to previously approved devices.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. There is no AI model or "training set" in the context of this device submission.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
Not applicable.

TAMPAX PEARL SCENTED AND UNSCENTED TAMPONS - JUNIOR, REGULAR, SUPER & SUPER PLUS
TAMPAX® Pearl Scented Tampons & TAMPAX® Pearl Unscented Tampons are tampons that are used to absorb menstrual fluid.
Each tampon is wrapped in an individual plastic film wrapper and packaged in sealed multi-unit containers for retail sale.
This looks like a 510(k) premarket notification for a menstrual tampon. These types of devices generally do not involve AI or complex algorithms with acceptance criteria, ground truth, or multi-reader studies in the way medical imaging or CAD devices do.
The provided text does not contain information about an AI device, acceptance criteria related to algorithmic performance, or a study proving that an AI device meets such criteria.
Instead, the submission focuses on:
- Device Description: TAMPAX® Pearl Scented and Unscented Tampons with plastic applicators.
- Intended Use: To be inserted into the vagina to absorb menstrual fluid.
- Technological Characteristics: Comparison to predicate devices, noting differences in shape of the uncompressed pad, overwrap material, withdrawal cord, fragrance composition, and applicator color.
- Safety Assessment: Relying on in vitro microbiological testing, biocompatibility testing, and safety-in-use clinical testing to demonstrate equivalence to predicate devices.
- Effectiveness: Stating that the device complies with the syngyna absorbency requirements of 21 CFR 801.430. This is the key "acceptance criterion" for effectiveness mentioned, and it's a regulatory standard, not an AI performance metric.
- Conclusion: The device is safe, effective, and substantially equivalent to predicate devices.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table or answer the questions related to AI device performance, sample sizes for test/training sets, experts for ground truth, or MRMC studies, as these concepts are not relevant to this traditional medical device submission.
