The Mosie Baby Kit is indicated for over-the-counter home use, by individuals who have been unable to conceive through intercourse or choose not to conceive through intercourse, for semen collection and the delivery of semen or donor sperm to the vaginal canal. The Mosie Baby Kit should be used during the ovulatory phase of the menstrual cycle.
Device Story
The Mosie Baby Kit is an over-the-counter, non-sterile, single-use system for home-based intravaginal insemination. It consists of a collection cup and a syringe with a rounded, slotted tip and a stopper. The user collects a semen sample in the cup, draws it into the syringe, and manually deploys the sample into the vaginal canal. The device is intended for use by individuals or their partners during the ovulatory phase to aid conception. It is a mechanical device; no electronic or software components are involved. The kit facilitates sperm delivery to the female reproductive tract outside of a clinical setting, providing an alternative to intercourse for those experiencing difficulty conceiving or choosing alternative conception methods.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical efficacy trials were conducted. Evidence includes bench testing (bioburden, functional testing per ISO 7886-1, HSSA, and biocompatibility per ISO 10993). Human factors validation and self-selection/labeling comprehension studies (n=30 and n=32, respectively) demonstrated that users could correctly identify indications, contraindications, and perform the procedure unaided. All participants in the human factors study answered labeling-related questions with ≥90% accuracy.

- Bioburden
- Functional Testing ●
- Human Sperm Survival Assay (HSSA)
### Bioburden Testing
Bioburden testing for the Mosie syringe and cup were performed in accordance with USP <61> and <62>. The test articles were assessed at baseline and the end of shelf-life and met the bioburden specifications for vaginal use in accordance with USP <111>. The acceptance specifications for the Mosie Syringe and Mosie Cup are shown below:
- Total aerobic microbial count (TAMC) per USP <61>: <102 cfu/g .
- Total yeast and mold count (TYMC) per USP <61>: <101 cfu/g ●
- . Presence of Pathogens per USP <62>: Absence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans
### Functional Testing
Functional testing on the Mosie syringe and collection cup was conducted at baseline and the end of shelf-life.
The tests for the Mosie syringe, developed based on ISO 7886-1:2017, include:
- Extraneous matter general (clause 6.1), ●
- Barrel dimensions (clause 10.1),
- . Barrel flanges (clause 10.2),
- Plunger stopper / plunger assembly design (clause 11.1), ●
- Freedom from liquid leakage past plunger stopper (clause 13.2),
- Force to operate the piston (clause 13.3), and
- Fit of plunger stopper / plunger in barrel (clause 13.4). ●
The tests for the Mosie collection cup include:
- Visual inspection, and
- . Dimensional inspection.
### Human Sperm Survival Assay (HSSA)
HSSA was conducted on the Mosie syringe and collection cup to demonstrate that the syringe and cup materials are not sperm-toxic. The HSSA was conducted on samples at baseline and the end of shelf-life.
{8}------------------------------------------------
Syringes and collection cups were shown to meet the HSSA acceptance specification (≥80% of control motility at 24 hours) at all time points assessed.
### Biocompatibility Testing
Biocompatibility testing 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" as follows:
- Cytotoxicity per ISO 10993-5:2009
- Sensitization per ISO 10993-10:2010 ●
- Vaginal irritation per ISO 10993-23:2021 .
The results of testing demonstrated that the subject device is non-cytotoxic, non-irritating, and nonsensitizing.
### Clinical Performance Testing
Data from two clinical studies was used to support self-selection and labeling comprehension testing for the subject device, to support OTC home use.
### Self-Selection Study (with Labeling Comprehension)
A labeling comprehension and self-selection study was conducted with the Mosie Baby Kit. The study assessed whether potential users could accurately determine if they should use the product or not based on labeling, and if potential users could understand the indications for use, contraindications, and what the product is not intended to treat. The study consisted of thirty-two (32) participants: fifteen (15) contraindicated female participants and seventeen (17) non-contraindicated female participants. All participants varied in age, occupation, ethnicity, highest level of completed education, and English health literacy level [as determined by the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine (REALM) test]. Additionally, participants were representative of the intended user in the United States, as all participants who were not contraindicated (intended users) reported that they were attempting to conceive and had varying degree of comfort/experience in using and inserting devices into the vagina.
All participants were able to identify the following information on the labeling:
- Who the kit is indicated/intended for,
- Whether it is acceptable for them to use the product (and why or why not), ●
- What difficulty they had, if any in determining whether it was acceptable for them to use the product,
- Who should not use the kit, and
- What the product acknowledges that it does not do.
### Human Factors Validation Study (with Labeling Comprehension)
A human factors validation study was performed with the Mosie Baby Kit. The study validated that potential users could successfully use the Mosie Baby Kit using only the information in the device labeling (package label and Instructions for Use) and that performance of critical tasks would not result in use errors or harm to the patient; and that use-related risks for the final/finished product were eliminated or mitigated. A total of thirty participants were enrolled: fifteen participants who self-administered and fifteen
{9}------------------------------------------------
participants who administered to a female recipient were enrolled. All participants varied in age, gender, occupation, ethnicity, highest level of completed education, and English health literacy level [as determined by the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine (REALM) test]. Additionally, participants were representative of the intended user in the United States, as all participants reported that they were attempting to conceive and had varying degree of comfort/experience in using and inserting devices into the vagina.
Participants self-familiarized with the Mosie Baby Kit and Instructions for Use (IFU) and were then asked to perform the procedure unaided. After completing the simulated procedure, participants were asked about their experience and were asked questions about information in the IFU related to the following:
- When to use the kit,
- . How often to use the kit,
- When to contact a physician, ●
- What to collect the semen sample in, .
- . Storage of the semen sample (if needed),
- How long the semen sample can be stored (if needed),
- What not to do after filling the syringe until the syringe is fully inserted in the vagina, ●
- What the female recipient should do after the insemination procedure,
- Disposing of the used product, and ●
- When to use the second syringe and cup. ●
These questions included warnings and precautions provided in the device labeling, with the exception of who should not use the device, as this was addressed in the self-selection study discussed above. All questions were answered correctly by at least 90% of participants, and none of the participants stated difficulty understanding the answers to any of the questions.
In conclusion, self-selection and label comprehension were demonstrated across both studies to support OTC use of the device and substantial equivalence to the predicate device. The study population also reported demographic information representative of the US population and successfully completed all elements of the studies.
### Conclusion
The results of the performance testing support a determination of substantial equivalence of the subject device to the predicate devices, and do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness.
