Intended Use
Daylily Single Use Sterile Embryo Transfer Catheters are used to place in vitro fertilized (IVF) embryos into the uterine cavity.
Device Story
Daylily Single Use Sterile Embryo Transfer Catheters are sterile, single-use devices designed for IVF embryo delivery. The system comprises a transfer catheter and a guide catheter; specific models (Types II and IV) include an optional trial catheter. The guide catheter, featuring a rounded/blunt tip and marker bands, is inserted through the cervix to facilitate the placement of the transfer catheter. The transfer catheter, also featuring a rounded/blunt tip and marker bands, is pre-loaded with embryos and inserted through the guide catheter into the uterine cavity. A syringe (not provided) is attached to the transfer catheter connector to deliver the embryos. The trial catheter provides support and assesses placement prior to the actual transfer. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals. Benefits include precise, guided delivery of embryos to the uterine cavity to support assisted reproduction procedures.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance validated via Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA) showing ≥ 80% of embryos developed to expanded blastocyst at 96 hours. Biocompatibility testing (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation) per ISO 10993, sterilization validation per ISO 11135, and package integrity/transportation simulation per ASTM standards confirmed device safety and performance.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Polyurethane, polycarbonate, stainless steel, polyether block polyamide, silicone. Components: Transfer catheter, guide catheter, optional trial catheter. Features: Rounded/blunt tips, marker bands, pre-curved guide catheters (select models), positioning rings. Sterilization: Ethylene oxide. Shelf life: 3 years. Standards: ISO 10993, ISO 11135, ASTM F2096, ASTM F88, ASTM F1929, ASTM D4169, ASTM F1980, USP <85>.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the placement of in vitro fertilized (IVF) embryos into the uterine cavity.

The predicate device has not been subject to a design-related recall.
#### IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Daylily Single Use Sterile Embryo Transfer Catheters are sterile single use catheters used to deliver in vitro fertilized embryos to the uterine cavity. All models of the Daylily Single Use Sterile Embryo Transfer Catheters consist of a transfer catheter and a guide
{4}------------------------------------------------
catheter. Some device models (Type II and Type IV) also include a trial catheter.
The guide catheter is composed of a catheter shaft, connector, and a positioning ring (for certain Type III and IV variants). Guide catheters for some Type III and Type IV variants are also provided pre-curved. Guide catheters have a rounded/blunt tip and marker bands at the distal tip to aid in catheter placement. The guide catheter is delivered through the cervix first and is used to guide the insertion of the transfer catheter holding the embryos into the uterine cavity.
The transfer catheter is composed of a catheter shaft, connector, and a stainless-steel sleeve (for Type III and IV models). Transfer catheters have a rounded/blunt tip and marker bands at the proximal end of the catheter to aid in catheter placement. The transfer catheter is loaded with embryos prior to delivery through the guide catheter and into the uterine cavity. A syringe (not provided with catheters) connected to the connector of the transfer catheter is used to deliver the embryos into the uterine cavity.
The trial catheter is an optional accessory for specific models (Types II and IV), composed of a catheter shaft, connector, and a polymer-coated stainless-steel core. Trial catheters have a rounded/blunt closed tip. The trial catheter is used to provide additional support during guide catheter placement and to assess the placement of the device prior to conducting an actual embryo transfer procedure.
