| Name of the<br>Device: | Trade Name: Naked™ |
| | Common Name: Condom |
| | Classification Name: Condom 884.5300 Class II (Product Code<br>HIS). |
| Substantial<br>Equivalence: | The Veraxis Naked™ condom is equivalent in intended use and<br>technological characteristics to Oceans Seven, Intn'l The Official<br>Condom of the 21st Century (They-Fit™) condoms and Church &<br>Dwight, Trojan® Magnum XL condoms. |
| Device<br>Description: | By creating an actual physical barrier between partners engaged in<br>sexual activity, the condom represents the best available solution<br>to two of the world's major health challenges: sexually transmitted<br>diseases/AIDS and unwanted pregnancy. |
| | The design of the condom is essential to its effectiveness. The<br>closed end has a reservoir tip to contain semen. The condom<br>described herein has an integral ring at its base and a snug fit<br>along its lower portion in order to ensure a safe, secure seal and<br>barrier. |
| | Although standard condoms are one of the few over-the-counter,<br>non-prescription contraceptives, condoms have many deficiencies<br>that limit their usage among sexually active populations: (i) they are<br>uncomfortable, (ii) they do not transmit sensation well, and (iii) theyAIDS epidemic, and the high risk involved in unprotected sex, a<br>significant portion of sexually active populations decline to use<br>condoms or use them only occasionally. |
{1}------------------------------------------------
The design of the Naked™ condom described herein addresses these deficiencies so that condom usage will significantly improve among sexually active populations. The condom described herein provides a slightly relaxed fit along the main body of the product between the snug base and reservoir tip. This relaxed fit provides a more natural feel during intercourse, an easier application process, and improved sensation, while maintaining a safe, secure seal and barrier.
This product is designed to fully conform to ISO 10993 and ISO 4074. It also conforms to ASTM D3492.
The Veraxis Int'l Inc. Naked ™ condom is to be used for Intended Use: contraceptive and for prophylactic purposes (to help prevent pregnancy and the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases).
> The Veraxis Int'l Inc. Naked ™ condom is indicated for Over-The-Counter Use (21 CFR 801 Subpart C)
Technological Characteristics: This condom has the same technical characteristics as the predicate condoms identified above. The product described herein features a slightly relaxed fit along the main body of the product. The relaxed fit at the closed end of the condom provides a greater lay flat width than the width of the snug base and safety seal it creates at the open end of the condom. The nature and value of the relaxed fit is well expressed by Ansell Incorporated, the second largest manufacturer of condoms in the world, in an article in Mens Journal in April of 1998:
"For 20 years this industry has been telling people that thinner condoms are better, more sensitive, but really, you can't tell the difference between the standard thickness of .07 mm and the thin condom of .05 mm. The real difference is looseness (the relaxed fit), which allows for friction between the penis and the latex and the vaginal wall."
The Naked ™ condom comes in a range of sizes that provide increased customization for each individual which makes for a safer, more secure, and better fit. These two technical characteristics (relaxed fit and various sizes) maximize product effectiveness and sensation, and thereby increase product usage among the sexually active populations.
As stated in the product description, this product is designed to fully conform to ISO 10993 and ISO 4074. It also conforms to ASTM D3492.
