Device Story
Menstrual tampons designed for vaginal insertion to absorb menstrual fluid. Subject device incorporates OdorShield™ technology for odor control, previously cleared in predicate devices. Device consists of fiber, string, and materials contacting vaginal wall. Used by consumers in home/personal settings. Performance verified via Syngyna testing per 21 CFR 801.430(f)(2) to ensure absorbency ranges. Safety established through biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity) and microbiological testing (TSST-1, Zone of Inhibition). Clinical assessment via randomized double-blind study using colposcopy to evaluate vaginal health over two menstrual cycles. OdorShield™ efficacy validated via expert panel and consumer testing.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical evaluation included a randomized double-blind study with a panel of women over two menstrual cycles. Safety was assessed via colposcopy at baseline, midpoint, and termination. Biocompatibility testing included ISO Agar Overlay (cytotoxicity), Human Repeat Insult Patch Test (sensitization), and Human Vaginal Irritation Study (irritation and acute systemic toxicity). Microbiology testing included Zone of Inhibition and TSST-1 testing. OdorShield™ technology efficacy was validated through expert panel assessment and consumer testing. Syngyna testing confirmed absorbency ranges per 21 CFR 801.430(f)(2).
Technological Characteristics
Menstrual tampons composed of fiber and string materials. Mode of action is physical absorption of menstrual fluid. Incorporates OdorShield™ odor-absorbing technology. Tested for biocompatibility per ISO standards. Absorbency ranges verified via Syngyna testing (6-15g). No electronic or software components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by women for the absorption of menstrual fluid. Available in Regular (6-9g), Super (9-12g), and Super Plus (12-15g) absorbency ranges.
Regulatory Classification

| | Playtex unscented menstrual tampons are intended to be inserted into the vagina and<br>used to absorb menstrual fluid. |
| Technological<br>Characteristics | The new tampon has the same technological characteristics as the predicate device<br>(K060981). The fiber, string and materials in contact with the vaginal wall are the<br>same or have the same mode of action. The only difference is the modified use of<br>the odor absorbing technology which is already used in the currently marketed<br>Playtex Gentle Glide devices (K070745). |
| Biocompatibility Tests | Biocompatibility and microbiological studies were conducted in accordance with<br>the FDA guidance and applicable standards on the subject tampons. The testing<br>included:<br>Cytotoxicity - ISO Agar Overlay<br>Sensitization - Human Repeat Insult Patch Test<br>Irritation - Human Vaginal Irritation Study<br>Acute Systemic Toxicity - Human Vaginal Irritation Study |
| | The test articles, polar and non-polar extracts of the subject tampons were<br>evaluated for sensitization potential under occlusion using, a nine patch induction<br>phase over a period of three weeks, two week rest and challenge; The response to<br>challenge was monitored post patch over a 72 hour period. |
| | Both scented and unscented tampons were provided to a panel of women of<br>appropriate age over 2 menstrual cycles in randomized double-blind study. Expert<br>assessments were made at baseline, midpoint and termination of study by<br>colposcopy. |
| Microbiology Tests | Zone of Inhibition<br>TSST-1 Testing |
| Odor Absorption<br>Testing | Testing included expert panel assessment on OdorShield™ Technology and<br>later validated in consumer testing. |
| Syngyna Testing: | Syngyna testing was conducted in accordance to 21 CFR 801.430(f)(2) to<br>verify that the subject tampons met absorbency ranges as specified in the<br>regulation.<br>• Absorbs menstrual flow 6-9 grams (Regular)<br>• Absorbs menstrual flow 9-12 grams (Super)<br>• Absorbs menstrual flow 12-15 grams (Super Plus)<br>The tampons are labeled in accordance to these ranges. |
| Conclusion | Results of performance testing indicate that the subject tampon is<br>substantially equivalent to the predicate devices |
