Indications for Use

Astroglide® TTC is a personal lubricant for penile and/or vaginal application, intended to moisturize and lubricate, to enhance the ease and comfort of intimate sexual activity and supplement the body's natural lubrication. Astroglide TTC is compatible with sperm, oocytes, and embryos and can be used by couples trying to conceive. Astroglide® TTC is compatible with natural rubber latex, polyisoprene and polyurethane condoms.

Device Story

Astroglide TTC is a non-sterile, water-based personal lubricant; applied by hand or via pre-filled tube applicator to penile or vaginal tissues. Formulated with water, propylene glycol, hydroxyethylcellulose, fructose, methylparaben, sodium phosphate, potassium phosphate, propyl paraben, galactose, and sodium hydroxide. Designed with pH and osmolarity compatible with sperm survival and migration. Used by couples trying to conceive in home settings. Lubricant properties do not impede sperm penetration; does not harm sperm motility, DNA integrity, or fertilization capability. Enhances comfort during sexual activity while maintaining compatibility with condoms and reproductive cells.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance data includes: Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA) showing >80% expanded blastocysts; Human Sperm Survival Assay (HSSA) showing ≥80% survival relative to control; Computer Assisted Sperm Analysis (CASA) confirming progressive motility; DNA integrity testing; hamster zona-free ovum penetration assays; and lubricant barrier assays. Biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-5, -10, and -11 (cytotoxicity, sensitization, vaginal irritation, systemic toxicity) confirmed non-irritating and non-cytotoxic results. Antimicrobial effectiveness and 8-month stability data provided.

Technological Characteristics

Water-based lubricant; ingredients include propylene glycol, hydroxyethylcellulose, fructose, methylparaben, sodium phosphate, potassium phosphate, propyl paraben, galactose, sodium hydroxide. pH 7.2-7.6; osmolarity 220-400 mOsm/kg. Packaged in pre-filled tube applicators. Biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993 standards. Non-sterile.

Indications for Use

Indicated for couples trying to conceive as a personal lubricant for penile and/or vaginal application to moisturize, lubricate, and enhance comfort during intimate sexual activity; compatible with sperm, oocytes, embryos, and natural rubber latex, polyisoprene, and polyurethane 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.

Lubricant barrier assays performed on Astroglide® TTC demonstrated that the properties of the device do not impede sperm penetration into the lubricant. Mouse In vitro fertilization assays in combination with Mouse embryo assays (IVF-MEA) demonstrated normal fertilization and embryo development with no suggestion of toxicity. Mucosal penetration studies using a hyaluronic acid (that mimics cervical mucus) indicate that the "swim-up" ability of sperm exposed to Astroglide TTC is not affected. Computer Assisted Sperm Analysis demonstrates the progressive motility of sperm is not harmed by Astroglide TTC. DNA integrity testing after exposure to Astroglide TTC demonstrated the device does not harm human sperm chromatin (DNA). Sperm penetration assays (hamster zona-free ovum tests) demonstrated that the presence of Astroglide TTC did not affect the penetration of hamster ova by human sperm. {6}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/6/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for Biofilm, Inc.

Condom compatibility studies indicate that TTC is safe to use with natural rubber latex, polyisoprene, and polyurethane condoms. Biocompatibility tests and results are shown in the table below: | Biocompatibility Testing | Astroglide TTC Result | |------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Cytotoxicity, Direct Contact, ISO 10993-5,<br>formula | The test article was not considered to have a<br>cytotoxic effect. | | Guinea Pig Maximization, ISO 10993-10,<br>formula | The test article did not elicit sensitization<br>reactions. | | Vaginal Irritation, ISO 10993-10, formula | The test article was considered non-irritating<br>to the vaginal mucosa in New Zealand White<br>Rabbits. | | Systemic Toxicity, ISO 10993-11, formula | Test article met the requirements of ISO<br>10993-11. No test animals exhibited any<br>biological reactivity. | | Cytotoxicity, MEM Elution, ISO 10993-5,<br>applicator tube | The test article was not considered to have a<br>cytotoxic effect. | | Guinea Pig Maximization, ISO 10993-10,<br>applicator tube | The test article did not elicit sensitization<br>reactions. | | Vaginal Irritation, ISO 10993-10, applicator<br>tube | In New Zealand White Rabbits, the test<br>article when extracted in saline was<br>considered minimally irritating. The test<br>article when extracted in cottonseed oil was<br>considered non-irritating. | On-going stability studies show the device has met acceptance criteria for appearance, color, clarity, odor, viscosity, pH, microbial count, osmolality, endotoxin, mouse embryo assay, and human sperm survival assay for an 8 month shelf-life. Antimicrobial effectiveness testing has been performed and the preservative system is effective. The performance data concludes that Astroglide® TTC is substantially equivalent to the predicate device Pre-Va Vaginal Lubricant. Astroglide® TTC does not harm sperm, oocytes, or embryos and is safe for use by couples trying to conceive. #### viii. Conclusion The proposed and predicate indication statements do not represent a new intended use. Astroglide TTC personal lubricant has the same intended use as PreVa for use in a nonclinical environment. The technological characteristics of Astroglide TTC and the predicate are very similar. Any minor technological differences noted do not affect the safety or efficacy of the device. Performance testing demonstrates that Astroglide TTC does not harm sperm, oocytes, or embryos and is safe to use by couples trying to conceive.
