Device Story

Pivet and Soft-Pass Embryo Transfer Catheter Sets are single-use medical devices used by clinicians to place IVF embryos into the uterine cavity. The system includes a transfer catheter and a guide catheter; some sets include a trial/mock catheter to verify access and positioning prior to the actual transfer. The transfer catheter may feature a stainless steel cannula, depth indicators, open ends with side ports, or an echogenic band for ultrasound visualization. The trial/mock catheter is identical to the transfer catheter but has a closed end without a side port. The clinician inserts the guide catheter to establish access, followed by the transfer catheter containing the embryos. The echogenic tip assists in ultrasound-guided placement. By facilitating precise embryo placement, the device supports the IVF procedure, potentially improving the likelihood of successful implantation.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench performance testing and biocompatibility studies. MEA testing (1-cell mouse embryos) showed ≥80% development to blastocyst stage in 96 hours. Bench testing included dimensional verification, aspiration/leak tests, tensile strength, and echogenicity verification. Biocompatibility testing followed ISO 10993-5 and ISO 10993-10. Package integrity and transportation simulation (ASTM D4169-05) were also performed.

There are differences in dimensions and materials between the subject and predicate devices, but these differences do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. The difference in dimensions can be addressed by bench performance testing. The differences in materials can be evaluated by biocompatibility testing and Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA) testing. The subject devices include versions with trial/mock catheters, whereas the predicate devices do not. The inclusion of trial/mock catheters do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness as they have the same design and materials as the transfer it represents, except that it has a closed end without a side port. {6}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/6/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for Cook Medical.

Package Integrity testing after real-time aging: - Bubble Leak test per ASTM F2096-04 o - Seal Strength testing per ASTM F88-09 o - Visual Inspection: No package displayed damage (tears, folds, puncture holes, etc.) o - Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA) before and after aging: ● One-cell mouse embryos were exposed to subject devices and cultured at 37℃ in an atmosphere containing 5% CO2. The percent of embryos developed to the expanded blastocyst stage within 96 hours were assessed in comparison with the control group. The testing demonstrated that the devices met acceptance criterion of "1-cell MEA ≥80% embryos developed to blastocyst in 96 hours." - Bench Performance studies before and after aging demondtrated that all predetermined ● acceptance criteria were met in the following tests: - Dimensional verification of catheter Catheters are measured and verified against o device input requirements. - Transfer Catheter Aspiration Test Testing ensures there is no air leaking into the o syringe through the transfer catheter. - Transfer Catheter Leak Test Testing ensures that fluid path catheter assembly O does not leak under a predetermined injection pressure. - Tensile Testing (Catheter Hub- shaft) Testing demonstates that the tensile o strength value is greater than the predetermined acceptance criterion. - Echotip Band Test Testing ensures that the outer diameter of the band does not o impede smooth passage through the guide catheter. - Echotip Band Echogenicity Test Visual comparison testing by ultrasound imaging o of catheters with and without an EchoTip band verified that the band provides increased brightness. {7}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/7/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for Cook Medical.
