Indications for Use
Astroglide Warming is a personal lubricant for penile, vaginal, and/or anal 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
Astroglide Warming is a non-sterile, water-based personal lubricant. It is applied topically by the user to penile, vaginal, or anal areas to provide moisture and lubrication during intimate sexual activity. The device is intended for over-the-counter use. It functions by physical lubrication to reduce friction and enhance comfort. The product is packaged in a PETE bottle with a polypropylene flip-top cap. It is not a contraceptive or spermicide. The user applies the lubricant manually as needed. The device benefits the patient by supplementing natural lubrication, thereby facilitating sexual activity and reducing discomfort.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing (cytotoxicity per ISO 10993-5, HRIPT per ASTM D6355, systemic toxicity per ISO 10993-11) confirmed the device is non-cytotoxic, non-irritating, non-sensitizing, and non-systemically toxic. Shelf-life validated via accelerated aging (ASTM F1980-16). Condom compatibility tested per ASTM D7661-18, confirming compatibility with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene, but not polyurethane condoms.
Technological Characteristics
Water-based lubricant composed of water, glycerin, propylene glycol, polyquaternium-7, and citric acid. Physical properties: viscosity 175-330 cP, osmolality 2600-2800 mOsm/kg, pH 3.5-5.5. Packaging: PETE bottle with polypropylene cap. Testing standards: ISO 10993-1, ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-11, ASTM D6355, ASTM F1980-16, ASTM D7661-18. Microbial limits per USP <61> and <62>; antimicrobial effectiveness per USP <51>.
Indications for Use
Indicated for individuals requiring personal lubrication for penile, vaginal, and/or anal 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.

Dear Kevin Jamil:
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.

#### VII. Summary of Non-Clinical Performance Testing
## Biocompatibility
Biocompatibility testing on the subject lubricant was performed 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" and ISO 10993-1:2009 as follows:
- Cytotoxicity (per ISO 10993-5:2009/(R)2014) .
- Human Repeat Insult Patch Testing (HRIPT) per ASTM D6355 to address ● sensitization and irritation
- Systemic Toxicity (per ISO 10993-11:2017) .
The results of this testing demonstrate that the subject lubricant is non-cytotoxic, nonirritating, non-sensitizing, and not systemically toxic.
## Shelf Life
The subject device is a non-sterile personal lubricant packaged in a 2.5 oz. bottle with a 8.5-month shelf-life in accordance with the results of an accelerated aging study, conducted for 3 months at 40°C per ASTM F1980-16, Standard Guide for Accelerated Aging of Sterile Barrier Systems for Medical Device specifications listed in Table 1 were tested across the device shelf-life and the subject device met the specifications at all time points.
## Condom Compatibility
Astroqlide Warming was tested for compatibility with natural rubber latex, polyisoprene, and polyurethane condoms using ASTM D7661-18. Standard Test Method for Determining Compatibility of Personal Lubricants with Natural Rubber Latex Condoms. The results show that Astroglide Warming is compatible with natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms. Astroglide Warming is not compatible with polyurethane condoms.
#### VIII. Conclusion
The results of the testing described above demonstrate that Astroglide Warming is as safe and effective as the predicate device and supports a determination of substantial equivalence.
