Intended Use
LG Paraffin Oil PG is designed for use as an overlay when culturing in microdrops of media to prevent evaporation and to isolate media from changes of pH and osmolarity. Also for use as an overlay during the micromanipulation techniques of ICSI and assisted hatching.
Device Story
LG Paraffin Oil is a reproductive media supplement used in clinical embryology laboratories. It functions as a physical overlay for microdrop cultures; prevents evaporation; isolates media from environmental changes in pH and osmolarity. Used by embryologists during assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures, specifically ICSI and assisted hatching. The oil provides a stable environment for gametes and embryos during manipulation and culture. It is a passive chemical/physical agent; no electronic or software components.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Reproductive media supplement; paraffin oil formulation; liquid form; non-electronic; passive physical barrier for culture media.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as an overlay in microdrop culture media to prevent evaporation and maintain pH/osmolarity stability, and as an overlay during ICSI and assisted hatching micromanipulation procedures.
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.

Dear Mr. Cecchi:
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.
