Glycerin & Paraben Free Astroglide® is a non-sterile, clear, high-viscosity liquid personal lubricant. It is applied topically by the user to penile, anal, or vaginal areas to moisturize and facilitate intimate sexual activity. The device is intended for over-the-counter use. It functions by providing physical lubrication to reduce friction. It is compatible with latex condoms. The device provides a benefit by enhancing comfort and supplementing natural lubrication.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Biocompatibility studies conducted per ISO 10993: Dermal sensitization (Grade I weak sensitizer in guinea pigs); 5-day rabbit penile irritation (minimal irritant); 5-day rabbit vaginal irritation (nonirritant); mouse systemic injection (no toxicity); 50-human subject repeat insult patch test (non-primary irritant/sensitizer); ISO MEM elution cytotoxicity test (passed at 1:4 dilution).

## Technological Characteristics

Water-soluble liquid lubricant. Proprietary formulation. Compatible with latex condoms per ASTM D 3492. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993-5, 10993-10, and 10993-11.

## Regulatory 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. See § 884.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.

Trade/Device Name: Glycerin & Paraben Free Astroglide Regulation Number: 21 CFR 884.5300 Regulation Name: Condom Regulatory Class: II Product Code: NUC Dated: December 4, 2007 Received: December 10, 2007

Dear Mr. De Armond:

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. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Image /page/2/Picture/10 description: The image shows a circular logo with the text "1906-2006" at the top. Below the text is the acronym "FDA" in a stylized font. The word "Centennial" is written in cursive below the acronym. There are three stars at the bottom of the logo. The logo is surrounded by a dotted circle.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
