## 8. Non-Clinical Performance Data
The pledget components of the BiuBiu tampon were cleared under K090819, and remain unchanged. Therefore, data on the performance of the pledgets, consistent with the FDA guidance document: Menstrual Tampons and Pads: Information for Premarket Notification Submissions (510(k)s), was leveraged from K090819 to support the performance of the BiuBiu Tampon pledgets.
The following non-clinical performance tests were performed on the applicator component of the BiuBiu tampon:
### Biocompatibility
Biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-1:2009 and FDA guidance document Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process."
- Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5:2009) .
- Vaginal Irritation (ISO 10993-10:2010)
- Skin Sensitization (ISO 10993-10:2010) .
The applicator was demonstrated to be non-cytotoxic, non-irritating, and non-sensitizing.
#### Physical performance testing
The following physical assessments were performed on the BiuBiu tampon applicator per in house methods with predefined acceptance criteria:
- Appearance
- Dimensions ●
- Compatibility of tampon and applicator ●
- Applicator integrity .
- Applicator expulsion force ●
## 9. Conclusion
The results of the performance testing described above demonstrate that the BiuBiu Tampon is as safe and effective as the predicate device and supports a determination of substantial equivalence.
