Intended Use

GM501 Wash with Phenol Red and Gentamicin is intended for in vitro procedures involving handling and micromanipulation of human oocytes and embryos outside of a CO2 incubator. Include oocyte and embryo washing (e.g. after oocyte aspiration, after hyaluronidase treatment to remove cumulus cells, before and after cryopreservation, and before embryo transfer) and micromanipulation procedures (e.g. assisted hatching). GM501 Wash with Phenol Red and Gentamicin is not intended for use in transferring embryos into the uterine cavity.

Device Description

GM501 Wash with Phenol Red and Gentamicin is a ready-to-use solution providing supporting conditions for human oocytes and embryos during in vitro Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART) procedures taking place outside of a CO2 incubator, including washing and micromanipulation procedures. GM501 Wash is aseptically filled into sterilized bottles (20 and 50 ml) and has a six-month shelf-life when stored as recommended. This product can also be used for up to seven days after bottle opening.

GM501 Wash with Phenol Red and Gentamicin is identical to the predicate GM501 Wash with the exception of the addition of gentamicin sulfate (10 mg/liter) and phenol red (3 mg/liter).

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information based on the provided text, structured to address your specific points:

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes used for the "test set" in terms of human subjects or embryos. The primary performance data presented is the 1-Cell MEA (Mouse Embryo Assay) which uses mouse embryos. The specific number of mouse embryos used in this assay is not provided.

The data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) is also not explicitly stated in the provided text.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

This information is not applicable and not present in the document. The device is a reproductive media for in vitro procedures. Its performance is assessed through laboratory assays (like MEA) and chemical/physical property measurements, not through expert interpretation of images or clinical diagnoses.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

This information is not applicable and not present in the document. The device's performance is determined by objective laboratory measurements (MEA, pH, osmolality, endotoxins, sterility) rather than subjective human interpretation.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

This information is not applicable and not present in the document. The device is a reproductive media, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool. Therefore, MRMC studies and "human reader improvement with AI" are not relevant to this submission.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

This information is not applicable and not present in the document. The device is a biological/chemical media, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

The "ground truth" for assessing the performance of GM501 Wash with Phenol Red and Gentamicin is based on:

  • Laboratory Assay Results: Primarily the Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA), which assesses the ability of the media to support blastocyst development from 1-cell mouse embryos.
  • Chemical/Physical Specifications: Adherence to defined ranges for pH, osmolality, and endotoxin levels.
  • Sterility Testing: Confirmation of absence of microbial contamination.
  • Stability Testing: Demonstrating that the media maintains its specifications over its shelf-life and use-life.

8. The sample size for the training set

This information is not applicable and not present in the document. The device is a reproductive media, not an AI model that requires a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

This information is not applicable and not present in the document. The device is a reproductive media, not an AI model.

The subject media product is modification to the predicate device. The two media products have the same specifications (endotoxin. MEA. pH. and osmolality), shelf-life, and sterilization methods. However, differences exist in media formulation. As discussed in the table above, these differences do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate device and can be assessed through performance data.

Summary of Non-Clinical Performance Testing:

The subject device is identical to the predicate device, with the exception that gentamicin sulfate and phenol red have been added to the subject device. Based on the risk analysis, shelf-life and use-life after bottle opening of the subject device was conducted to support the change in formulation. All other testing to support this device relies on testing included in the predicate submission (K190383) and in K192644 for GM501 SpermActive which is identical in formulation to the subject device, but has a different indications for use for handling and preparation of sperm. A summary of the shelf-life and use-life testing conducted to support this change is shown below:

  • . Shelf-life testing was conducted to support the six-month shelf-life (MEA, sterility, pH, osmolality, and endotoxins)
  • . Stability testing after bottle opening at the end of the shelf-life period was conducted to ensure that device specifications are met seven days after opening and simulated use of bottles (MEA, sterility, pH, osmolality, and endotoxins)

Conclusion:

The subject and predicate devices have the same intended use and comparable technological characteristics. The differences in technological characteristics between the subject and predicate devices do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. The performance data demonstrate that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

§ 884.6180 Reproductive media and supplements.

(a)
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.).(b)
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.
