Condom compatibility tested per ASTM D7661-10. Shelf-life stability testing confirmed specifications maintained over 6 months (tubes) and 3 months (foil packs).
Technological Characteristics
Water-based lubricant. Ingredients: water, glycerine, xanthan gum, gellan gum, botanical extracts, preservatives. Physical properties: pH 3.5-5.5; viscosity 200,000-300,000 cP; osmolality 500-1000 mOsm/kg. Packaging: LDPE tubes, polypropylene caps, foil packs. Non-sterile. No energy source or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for individuals requiring personal lubrication for penile and/or vaginal application to enhance comfort during intimate sexual activity. Compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms; contraindicated for use 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.

Dear Richard Hines:
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 subject and predicate device indications for use are not identical, as the predicate device indications for use does not specifically state that it is not compatible with polyurethane condoms. However, the intended use of the subject and predicate devices is the same (i.e., provides lubrication during intimate sexual activity).
In addition, the subject and predicate devices have different technological characteristics as shown in the table above. The differences in technological characteristics between the subject and predicate devices do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
#### Summary of Non-Clinical Performance Testing vii.
## Biocompatibility
Astroglide® Organix® Gel has undergone biocompatibility testing in accordance with the 2020 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." Testing included:
- Cytotoxicity per ISO 10993-5: 2009 ●
- Sensitization and Irritation testing using the human repeat insult patch testing, an ● alternative test method to ISO 10993-10:2010
- Acute systemic toxicity testing per ISO 10993-11:2017.
{8}------------------------------------------------
The testing demonstrated that Astroglide® Organix® Gel is non-cytotoxic, nonsensitizing, non-irritating, and not acutely-systemically toxic. Condom Compatibility
Astroglide® Organix® Gel was tested in accordance with ASTM D7661-10 "Standard Test Method for Determining Compatibility of Personal Lubricants with Natural Rubber Latex Condoms." Results showed that Astroglide® Organix® Liquid is compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms. Astroglide® Organix® Liquid is not compatible with polyurethane condoms.
## Shelf life
Astroglide® Organix® Gel has a shelf-life of 6 months in 3 oz. LDPE tubes and 3 months in foils packs. Results from testing demonstrated that the device can maintain its specifications (as shown in Section IV) over the duration of its shelf-life in both packaging forms.
#### viii. Conclusion
The results of the testing described above provide reasonable assurance that the Astroglide® Organix Gel Personal Lubricant is as safe and effective as the predicate device and supports a determination of substantial equivalence.
