Intended Use
Luvena Vaginal Moisturizer and Lubricant is a personal lubricant, for vaginal application, intended to moisturize and lubricate, to enhance the ease and comfort of intimate sexual activity and supplement the body's natural lubrication. This product is compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms, but is not compatible with polyurethane condoms.
Device Story
Luvena Vaginal Moisturizer and Lubricant is a non-sterile, aqueous-based, cranberry-flavored gel; supplied in single-use EVA/PE copolymer plastic applicator tubes. Intended for personal vaginal use to provide moisture and lubrication during intimate sexual activity. Device is OTC; user-applied. Formulation provides physical lubrication; does not contain contraceptives or spermicides. Compatibility with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms confirmed via ASTM D7661-10; incompatible with polyurethane condoms. Healthcare providers use the product to assist patients experiencing vaginal dryness; output is the physical application of the gel to the vaginal area to reduce friction and improve comfort.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Biocompatibility established per ISO 10993 (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, acute systemic toxicity). Physical testing included antimicrobial preservative effectiveness (USP <51>), condom compatibility (ASTM D7661-10), and shelf-life stability (ICH-Q1A/Q1E). Microbiological testing performed per USP <61>, <62>, and <1111>.
Indicated for vaginal application in individuals requiring moisturization and lubrication to enhance comfort during intimate sexual activity and supplement natural lubrication. Compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms; contraindicated for use with 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.
Special Controls
*Classification.* (1) Class II (special controls) for condoms made of materials other than natural rubber latex, including natural membrane (skin) or synthetic.(2) Class II (special controls) for natural rubber latex condoms. The guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Labeling for Natural Rubber Latex Condoms Classified Under 21 CFR 884.5300” will serve as the special control.

# Biocompatibilitv:
Biocompatibility of the final formulation of Luvena Vaginal Moisturizer & Lubricant was established through testing generally following ISO 10993, and includes cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, and acute systemic toxicity testing. The results demonstrate that the subject lubricant is biocompatible.
- · Acute Systemic Toxicity: ISO 10993-11:2006
- · Cytotoxicity: ISO 10993-5:2009
- · Vaginal Irritation Testing: ISO 10993-10:2010
- · Sensitization Testing Guinea Pig Maximization Test (GPMT): ISO 10993-10:2010.
# Physical & Other Testing:
The physical and other testing performed on Luvena Vaginal Moisturizer & Lubricant included an Antimicrobial Preservative Effectiveness Validation testing under USP < 5 > Category 2. Lubricant- Condom Compatibility testing per ASTM D7661 - 10 Standard Test Method for Determining Compatibility of Personal Lubricants with Natural Rubber Latex Condoms and Shelf life testing. Luvena Vaginal Moisturizer and Lubricant passed the Antimicrobial Effectiveness test and were found to be compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms, but not compatible with polyurethane condoms. The results of accelerated time testing and real time testing according to ICH-Q1A (Stability testing of new drug substances and products) and ICH-Q1E (Evaluation of stability data) support the proposed shelf life for the subject lubricant.
# Conclusion:
The subject and predicate device have the same intended use and the different technological characteristics do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. The performance data demonstrate that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of safety and effectiveness.
