Device Story
CONCEIVE PLUS® is a non-sterile, water-based, isotonic personal lubricant and vaginal moisturizer.

Does not hinder sperm motility, viability, or penetration into cervical mucus. Enhances comfort during sexual activity. Compatible with natural rubber latex and polyurethane condoms.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Studies included: human sperm survival assay (≥80% motility at 2 hours), mouse embryo assay (≥80% blastocysts at 96 hours), bovine cervical mucus penetration, and condom compatibility (ASTM D7661). Biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993 included acute systemic toxicity, cytotoxicity, delayed-type hypersensitivity, and vaginal irritation. All tests met acceptance criteria.
Technological Characteristics
Water-based, isotonic formulation containing deionized water, hypromellose, sodium phosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, potassium chloride, sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, glycerol, and methylparaben. pH 7.0-7.6; osmolarity 290-400 mOsm/KG.

Indications for Use
Indicated for use by couples trying to conceive as a personal lubricant for penile and/or vaginal application to moisturize, lubricate, and enhance comfort during sexual activity. Also indicated for use in fertility interventions to facilitate the entry of diagnostic and therapeutic devices into the vaginal cavity. Compatible with natural rubber latex and polyurethane condoms; contraindicated for use with polyisoprene condoms.
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.

## PERFORMANCE DATA
Fertility studies performed on CONCEIVE PLUS® demonstrate that the device poses no barrier for sperm penetration or movement and does not harm motility or viability of human sperm. Bovine cervical mucus studies confirmed that the device does not hinder the ability of sperm to penetrate and migrate into cervical mucus.
Mouse Embryo Assay studies with CONCEIVE PLUS® demonstrated normal fertilization and embryo development with no suggestion of toxicity. Testing confirmed the device does not harm human sperm chromatin (DNA). Condom compatibility testing in accordance with ASTM D7661 confirmed the device is com;patible with natural latex and polyurethane condoms.
Testing confirmed that the device in both tube and applicator met all acceptance criteria for appearance, color, odor, viscosity, osmolarity, specific gravity, pH, microbial limits, endotoxin, mouse embryo assay, and human sperm survival assay throughout the entire proposed two year shelf life. Antimicrobial effectiveness testing has been conducted and the preservative system is shown to be effective.
The results of the following ISO biocompatibility tests support a determination of substantial equivalence. No adverse effects have been encountered. The conclusions drawn from the nonclinical tests demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate device.
The data concludes that CONCEIVE PLUS® is substantially equivalent to its primary predicate device Pre-Va Vaginal Lubricant and is safe for use by individuals and couples trying to conceive.
| Biocompatibility Test | CONCEIVE PLUS® Result |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
