The system can be purchased packaged in a quantity of one (1) or three (3) individually packaged systems. Once the couple has decided to attempt to become pregnant, the Focus Touch™ Conception System Instruction for Use recommends using the device during female's most fertile days in a given month. During sexual intercourse, semen will be collected using the Conceptacle, a cervical cap that is pre-inserted into a condom-like sheath. The male removes the Conceptacle {1}------------------------------------------------ from the penis by rolling it down and separating it from the penis. After removal, the rim of the cervical cao is lightly pinched so that the Condom-like Sheath can be separated. (The Cervical Cap and Condom-like Sheath are separated in two separate parts). The semen is contained in the cervical cap and its reservoir. The second component, the Applicator, is used for ease of transition of the Cervical Cap to the cervix. The applicator seals the Cervical Cap and contains the semen for transition through the vaginal tract, assisting the female in guiding the cap to the cervix and releasing the semen and the cap in front of the cervical cap is loaded onto the applicator (while it is still outside of the Retainer locks onto the Cervical Cap and is delivered with the Cervical Cap intravaginally. The Retainer also has a removal cord that is attached for withdrawal. The Cervical Cap and Retainer then remain in place for up to 6 hours. #### Indication For Use The Focus Touch Conception System is indicated for assisted insemination in instances where low sperm count, sperm immobility, or hostile vaginal environment has been diagnosed. The system (cervical cap in a condom-like silicone sheath) is used to collect semen into a cervical cap, and then deliver the cap to the outside of the cervix as an aid to conception.

Therefore, | | | | the semen collection method utilizing the <i>Conceptacle</i> (cervical cap and condom-<br>like sheath assembly) is substantially equivalent to and the collection method of | | | | the predicate device. | | | | Collection<br>Condom<br>Material | Polyurethane | The condom-like sheath component of the<br><i>Conceptacle</i> is made from silicone. | | Discussion: | | | | Silicone has been used historically for medical devices used in the vaginal tract. | | | · {3}------------------------------------------------ | | The Condom-like Sheath of the Conceptacle is very similar in malleability to<br>standard polyurethane condoms with a durometer of 30-40 on the Shore A scale.<br>The device has been shown to be biocompatible and acceptable as a semen<br>collection device with regard to comfort (slip, breakage, ability to ejaculate) and<br>adequacy (ability to collect and contain semen) in validation testing. Therefore,<br>the material used for the condom-like sheath of the proposed device is<br>substantially equivalent to the material used for the condom for the predicate<br>device. | | |----------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Placement<br>and<br>Delivery<br>Method | The device is placed into the<br>vagina and in front of the cervical<br>os by hand. | The Focus Touch™ Conception System<br>uses an applicator for placement and<br>delivery of the cervical cap to the cervical<br>os. | | | Discussion: | | | | The applicator component, for which biocompatibility and usability have been<br>demonstrated during testing, allows the user to insert the cervical cap into the<br>vaginal tract without the use of the user's hand. It is performed in a similar<br>manner as inserting a tampon with a plastic applicator. It has smoothness<br>requirements for comfort and safety and allows for insertion and placement.<br>Therefore, the placement and delivery method of the proposed device is<br>substantially equivalent to that of the predicate device. | | | Removal<br>Method | The proposed device contains a<br>loop that is molded with the<br>cervical cap. The user reaches<br>into the vagina and grasps the<br>loop to remove the device. | The Focus Touch™ Conception System<br>applicator features a mechanism which<br>applies a removal cord to the cervical cap<br>(during the process of loading the applicator)<br>to aid in removal of the device. | | | Discussion: | | | | The removal means of the looped removal device to grip and pull to withdraw is<br>the same for the predicate and proposed device. The difference is that the remove<br>cord on the proposed device remains outside of the vagina and provides for<br>removal of the device without insertion of the hands into the vaginal opening, as<br>was demonstrated during Usability testing. Testing was also performed to verify<br>that the pull strength of the collet/string attached to the cervical cap is sufficient<br>to ensure that the cap will not be separated from the collet. Therefore the<br>removal cord method of the proposed device is substantially equivalent to that of<br>the predicate device. | | #### Testing Summary . Biocompatibility Testing performed on the device demonstrated that like the predicate device, the Focus Touch Conception System is considered non-cytotoxic, is not an irritant and did not elicit a sensitization response. Human Sperm Survival Assay (HSSA) testing was performed on the silicone Conceptacle (Cervical cap inserted into condom-like sheath) to demonstrate that like the predicate device, the Focus Touch collection device and cervical cap, Conceptacle, material has no deleterious effects on human semen. Bench testing was performed to verify that the condom-like sheath of the Focus Touch Conceptacle exceeded the minimum requirements for {4}------------------------------------------------ burst pressure and volume for commercially available condoms. Bench testing demonstrated that the pull strength of the withdrawal cord, specifically Cervical Cap/Collet Separation Force for the Focus Touch System, was met for all systems tested. A shelf life study was performed to verify that all components of the Focus Touch System were shown to function procently and according to their design intent following a minimum real-time storage during of and or accelerated aging period equivalent to six (6) months. Clinical human factors/usability testing was performed to validate the usability of the device. Specifically, Study 1 testing was performed with the cervical cap and applicator to demonstrate that the end user can understand the Instructions for Use, and manipulate, insert and remove the cap cherectly without direct supervision. Study 2 testing was performed to demonstrate appropriate ease of yoe, confort and acceptability and safety when used during sexual intercourse as a collection device. During Study 1, a physical examination occurred to verify safety of the device to the vaginal tract and all success criteria were met. #### Conclusion The differences between the predicate device and the Focus Touch™ Conception System have been evaluated through testing to show that they are not critical to the intended therapeutic effect of the device, nor do they affect the safety or effectiveness of the device when used as labeled. Therefore, the Focus Touch Conception System is substantially equivalent to the Conceivex Conception Kit {5}------------------------------------------------ # DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/5/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
