This product is intended for penile, vaginal and/or anal application 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. This product is not compatible with polyurethane condoms.
Device Story
KY Grosz UltraGel is a non-sterile, water-based personal lubricant designed for over-the-counter use. It is applied topically to penile, vaginal, or anal areas to provide lubrication and enhance comfort during intimate sexual activity. The device is packaged in HDPE bottles with polypropylene caps. It is compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms but incompatible with polyurethane condoms. The lubricant functions by providing a physical barrier and moisture to reduce friction. It is intended for consumer self-use. The product benefits the user by supplementing natural lubrication, thereby facilitating sexual activity and reducing discomfort.

Dear Elizabeth Viguerie:
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 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.

## Table 2: Technological Characteristics of Subject Device Compared to Predicate
The subject device and predicate devices have different technological characteristics, including their formulation. The differences in technological characteristics between the subject and predicate devices do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
### Summary of Performance Testing:
Shelf life: KY Grosz UltraGel has a shelf-life of 2 years in accordance with the results of an accelerated aging stability study. Results from testing demonstrated that the device can maintain its specifications (as shown in Table 1) over the duration of its shelf life.
Biocompatibility: Biocompatibility studies were performed in accordance with the 2016 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" and ISO 10993- 1:2009 as follows:
- Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5: 2009): The subject device test article showed no evidence of ● cytotoxicity to L-929 cells and therefore is not cytotoxic.
{6}------------------------------------------------
- Vaginal Irritation (ISO 10993-10: 2010): The Irritation Index for the subject device test article ● was 0. Macroscopically, the vaginal tissue was found to be normal. Therefore, the subject device was considered a non-irritant to vaginal tissue of the rabbit
- Guinea Pig Maximization Sensitization Test (ISO 10993-10: 2010): The subject device test article ● solution showed no evidence of causing delayed dermal contact sensitization in the guinea pig. The test article was not considered a sensitizer in the guinea pig maximization test.
- . Acute Systemic Toxicity (ISO 10993-11: 2017): There was no mortality or evidence of systemic toxicity for the subject device.
Condom Compatibility: KY Grosz UltraGel was tested in accordance with ASTM D7661-10 "Standard Test Method for Determining Compatibility of Personal Lubricants with Natural Rubber Latex Condoms" and was determined to be compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms. It was determined not to be compatible with polyurethane condoms.
Conclusion: The results of the performance testing described above demonstrate that the KY Grosz UltraGel is as safe and effective as the predicate device and supports a determination of substantial equivalence.
