#### 11. Non-Clinical Performance Data

Sterile Lube Jelly Pre-Filled Syringe, product number 1104, is packaged in a 10cc syringe. Testing was performed to demonstrate that the syringe remained sealed when exposed to a 15 In-Hg vacuum.

Stain testing was conducted on post sterile product. Testing was performed to demonstrate that the post sterile lubricant did not stain gloves.

Viscosity testing was conducted on post sterile product. Testing was performed to demonstrate that the post sterile lubricant remained within the pre-sterile 18,000 to 26,500 cps viscosity range.
