Indications for Use
BioGenesis Fertility Lubricant 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. BioGenesis Fertility Lubricant is compatible with sperm, oocytes, and embryos and can be used by trying to conceive couples. BioGenesis Fertility Lubricant is compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms. It is not compatible with polyurethane condoms. BioGenesis Fertility Lubricant can be used to lubricate genital tissues and devices to facilitate use of diagnostic and therapeutic devices during fertility interventions and reproductive medicine.
Device Story
BioGenesis Fertility Lubricant is a water-based personal lubricant provided in a tube. It is intended for use by couples trying to conceive or by clinicians during fertility interventions. The gel is applied to genital tissues or devices to provide moisture and lubrication. It is formulated to be compatible with sperm, oocytes, and embryos, ensuring it does not inhibit sperm motility. The device is used in home or clinical settings. It is compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms but not polyurethane condoms. The lubricant facilitates sexual activity and the use of diagnostic/therapeutic devices in reproductive medicine.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993-5:2009 (cytotoxicity) and ISO 10993-11:2006 (acute systemic toxicity), plus human repeat insult patch testing. Performance testing included Human Sperm Survival Assay (HSSA) showing ≥70% survival at 24 hours, condom compatibility per ASTM D7661-10, and accelerated aging shelf-life testing confirming 12-month stability.
Technological Characteristics
Water-based gel formulation containing lactic acid, hydroxyethylcellulose, sodium chloride, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, potassium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, and sorbic acid. pH 3.8-4.2; osmolality 300-400 mOsm/kg; viscosity 1,200-10,000 cps. Tested for condom compatibility per ASTM D7661-10. Shelf life 12 months.
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 sexual activity. Compatible with sperm, oocytes, embryos, natural rubber latex, and polyisoprene condoms. Also indicated for lubrication of genital tissues and devices during fertility interventions and reproductive medicine.
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.

Dear Abhishek Gurnani:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products.

The differences in technological characteristics between the subject and predicate device do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
#### (7) Summary of Performance Data:
As part of demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate device, the following non-clinical performance tests were conducted.
- . Biocompatibility. BioGenesis Fertility Lubricant has undergone biocompatibility testing including cytotoxicity per ISO 10993-5:2009, human repeat insult patch testing (sensitization and irritation), and acute systemic toxicity testing per ISO 10993-11:2006. The testing found that BioGenesis Fertility Lubricant is biocompatible.
- Non-clinical Performance Testing. Human sperm survival assay (HSSA), and . lubricant barrier assay testing was conducted and indicates that BioGenesis Fertility Lubricant is compatible with sperm and does not inhibit sperm motility.
{7}------------------------------------------------
- Condom Compatibility. BioGenesis Fertility Lubricant was tested for condom compatibility per ASTM D7661-10: Standard Test Method for Determining Compatibility of Personal Lubricants with Natural Rubber Latex Condoms. The results of this test indicate that BioGenesis Fertility Lubricant is compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms. BioGenesis Fertility Lubricant is not compatible with polyurethane condoms.
- Shelf Life. The results of accelerated aging shelf-life testing demonstrated that . BioGenesis Fertility Lubricant maintains its specifications over the duration of its proposed shelf life of twelve months.
#### Conclusion (8)
The results of performance testing described above demonstrate that the BioGenesis Fertility Lubricant is as safe and effective as the predicate device and supports a determination of substantial equivalence.
