Indications for Use
LUBi Water Based Personal 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. This product is compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms. This product is not compatible with polyurethane condoms.
Device Story
LUBi Water Based Personal Lubricant is a non-sterile, viscous, water-based lubricant for penile and/or vaginal application. It is intended for over-the-counter use to moisturize and supplement natural lubrication during intimate sexual activity. The device is supplied in a PET cylinder bottle. It is compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms but incompatible with polyurethane condoms. The lubricant is applied topically by the user. It functions by providing physical lubrication to reduce friction, thereby enhancing comfort and potentially reducing the risk of condom breakage or irritation during sexual activity.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Performance is supported by bench testing, including biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, sensitization, vaginal irritation, acute systemic toxicity per ISO 10993), shelf-life stability (real-time aging), and condom compatibility (ASTM D7661-10).
Technological Characteristics
Water-based lubricant containing water, glycerin, propylene glycol, hydroxyethyl cellulose, sodium hyaluronate, potassium sorbate, citric acid, and disodium EDTA. Viscosity: 28,500-30,000 mPa.s (USP <911>); pH: 7.5-8.0 (USP <791>); Osmolality: 1,000-1,100 mOsm/kg (USP <785>). Non-sterile. Packaged in PET bottle. Tested for antimicrobial effectiveness (USP <51>) and microbial limits (USP <61>, <62>, <1111>).
Indications for Use
Indicated for penile and/or vaginal application to moisturize and lubricate, enhancing ease and comfort of intimate sexual activity and supplementing natural lubrication. Compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms; not compatible 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.

The subject and predicate device do not have identical indications for use statements. The subject device does not include anal use. This change does not represent a new intended use as the intended use of the device is the same as the predicate device, i.e., lubrication during intimate sexual activity. The subject and predicate device have different technological characteristics, including their formulation. The differences in technological characteristics between the subject and predicate device do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
#### 8. Summary of Performance Data
#### *Biocompatibility
The biocompatibility evaluations were conducted in accordance with the 2020 FDA quidance document Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 1: Evaluation and Testing within a Risk Management Process." The following testing was conducted:
- * Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5:2009)
- * Sensitization (ISO 10993-10:2010)
- * Vaginal Irritation (ISO 10993-10:2010)
- * Acute Systemic Toxicity (ISO 10993-11:2017)
The results of this testing demonstrated that the subject lubricant is non-cytotoxic, nonsensitizing, non-irritating, and non-systemically toxic.
#### *Shelf Life
The subject device is a non-sterile personal lubricant with a 3 years shelf life in accordance with the results of real time aging studies. All device specifications listed in Table 1 were tested and met the device specifications across the shelf life duration.
#### *Condom Compatibility
The compatibility of the subject device with condoms was evaluated in accordance with ASTM D7661-10 Standard Test Method for Determining Compatibility of Personal Lubricants with Natural Rubber Latex Condoms. The results of this test indicated that the subject device
{7}------------------------------------------------
is compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms. The subject device is not compatible with polyurethane condoms.
## 9. Conclusions
The results of the performance testing described above demonstrate that the LUBi Water Based Personal Lubricant is as safe and effective as the predicate device and supports a determination of substantial equivalence.
