#### Device Description
JoyDrops® Natural Personal Lubricant Gel is a water-based personal lubricant gel that is contained in a 3.38 fluid ounces (100 mL) polymer container with a pump dispenser.
#### Directions for Product Use
Remove the cap of the JoyDrops® Natural Personal Lubricant Gel, and then twist the pump to open. Gently squeeze the tube to obtain the desired amount of lubricant. A 1 to 2 inch strip should be sufficient. May be applied directly onto the condom or onto the penis or into the vagina.
#### Product Performance and Condom Compatibility
JoyDrops® Natural Personal Lubricant Gel has been tested for performance by subjecting it to Condom Compatibility testing. Condom Compatibility was tested using the procedure described in the ASTM D7 6661-10 method and the ARDL method. JoyDrops® Natural Personal Lubricant Gel was found to be compatible with latex condoms, and polyisoprene and polyurethane condoms. This is the same as the statement made by Walgeens Personal Lubricant Jelly, which is the "substantially equivalent" comparison product.
## Summary of test data that confirm that JoyDrops® Natural Personal Lubricant Gel is safe for use. 807.92(b)(3)1
JoyDrops® Natural Personal Lubricant Gel has been tested for safety by subjecting it to cytotoxicity testing, systemic toxicity testing, vaginal irritation testing, and sensitization testing.
1. The cytotoxicity tests were conducted using the ISO 10993 methodology. No cellular toxicity was found.
2. The systemic toxicity testing was conducted using a standard protocol developed by NAMSA, and approved by FDA upon submission. No systemic toxicity was found.
3. Vaqinal irritation was studied using the International Organization for Standardization 10993-10, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices. The test article was considered a nonirritant to vaginal tissue.
4. Skin sensitization patch tests in humans and skin sensitization tests in animals were conducted according to standard practices, including ISO 10993-10/AI. No skin sensitization was reported.
These tests are consistent with the expectations of this class of device, and are substantially equivalent to the predicate product.

The test sample extract was prepared according to ISO 10993-12. Table 1 "Standard surface areas and extract liquid volumes". Since the test sample is irregularly shaped solid devices (powder, pellets, foam, non-absorbent molded items) 0.2 g/ml extraction ratio was used. In order to use diluted extract of sample, 0.1 g/ml extraction ratio was also used. According to ISO 10993-12; 10.3.5 Extraction using both polar and non-polar extraction vehicles were performed.
The supplementation of basal culture media with animal serum of different origins is essential for cell growth, metabolism, and to stimulate proliferation ("mitogenic effect"). The major functions of serum in culture media are to provide (i) hormonal factors stimulating cell growth and proliferation and promoting differentiated functions, (ii) transport proteins carrying hormones (e.g. transcortin), minerals and trace elements (e.g. transferrin) and lipids (e.g. lipoproteins), (iii) attachment and spreading factors (Brunner et al., 2010, Altex 27; 1/10).
In order to support cell growth, 5% FBS was used until it was approximately 50% confluent. By adding extract of test materials the FBS concentration was decreased to 1% in order to continue cell growth and avoid cells to be overexposed to hormonal and growth factors according to the basic cell culture knowledge, since the percentage of the FBS has not been mentioned in the standard. According to our procedure, the extract condition includes 1% FBS.
The product is expected to be in contact with vaginal epithelial cells for less than 24 hours.
#### Packaging
JoyDrops® Natural Personal Lubricant Gel is packaged in 100 mL plastic polymer bottles. The bottle has a dispensing nozzle which in turn is covered by a plastic cap. The plastic cap has a tamper-resistant covering which must be removed in order to apply the gel. The bottle has a wrap-around label that meets the requirements of the FDA's labeling guidelines.
#### Technological Characteristics [807.92(a)(6)]:
Both the predicate device (Walgreens Personal Lubricating Jelly) and JoyDrops® Natural Personal Lubricant Gel have the same technological characteristics. They are both water-based gels that contain similar ingredients that allow vaginal lubrication and/or lubrication of condoms to ease the friction of sexual activity. Both lubricating gels are compatible with both latex-based condoms and common polymer-based condoms.
# Substantial Equivalence [807.92(b)(1)]:
JoyDrops® Natural Personal Lubricant Gel is substantially equivalent to a marketed device: Walgreens Personal Lubricating Jelly. The intended use, active (lubricating) ingredients, presence of preservatives, and application of the proposed device are substantially equivalent to those of the predicative device. Both products are/will be sold over-the-counter and are indicated as personal lubricants.

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
