Intended Use

Oil for Embryo Culture is intended for use in assisted reproductive technology procedures as an overlay to cover small volumes of culture media during embryo and gamete manipulation.

Device Story

Oil for Embryo Culture serves as an accessory solution in assisted reproductive technology (ART). It functions as an overlay to cover small volumes of culture media, protecting embryos and gametes during manipulation and in vitro development. Used in clinical laboratory settings by embryologists or trained laboratory personnel, the oil prevents evaporation and maintains the integrity of the culture environment. The device supports post-fertilization embryo growth until the desired developmental stage is achieved. Quality is ensured through mouse embryo assays, endotoxin testing, and sterility testing prior to market release.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. The device is validated using mouse embryo assays to confirm the support of embryonic growth and the absence of toxic components. Additional release criteria include endotoxin and sterility testing.

Technological Characteristics

Accessory solution for in vitro fertilization and embryo culture. Functions as an inert overlay medium. No specific materials, energy sources, or software components described.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures as an overlay to cover small volumes of culture media during the manipulation of embryos and gametes.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Reproductive media and supplement are products that are used for assisted reproduction procedures. Media include liquid and powder versions of various substances that come in direct physical contact with human gametes or embryos (including water, acid solutions used to treat gametes or embryos, rinsing solutions, sperm separation media, supplements, or oil used to cover the media) for the purposes of preparation, maintenance, transfer or storage. Supplements are specific reagents added to media to enhance specific properties of the media (e.g., proteins, sera, antibiotics, etc.).

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls) (mouse embryo assay information, endotoxin testing, sterilization validation, design specifications, labeling requirements, biocompatibility testing, and clinical testing). The device, when it is phosphate-buffered saline used for washing, and short-term handling and manipulation of gametes and embryos; culture oil used as an overlay for culture media containing gametes and embryos; and water for assisted reproduction applications, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 884.9.
