Intended Use

Oocyte Flushing & Retrieval Medium is intended for use during and oocyte collection procedures for use in in vitro fertilization procedures. Gamete Buffer is indicated for use in short-term handling gametes and embryos, including washing and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

Device Story

Oocyte Flushing & Retrieval Medium and Gamete Buffer are reproductive media used in clinical IVF laboratories. These solutions provide a controlled environment for oocyte retrieval, gamete/embryo handling, and ICSI procedures. They are used by embryologists or clinicians to maintain viability of gametes and embryos during laboratory manipulation. The media support the transition of samples from the patient to the incubator environment, facilitating successful fertilization and embryo development.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures, specifically for oocyte collection (Oocyte Flushing & Retrieval Medium) and short-term handling, washing, and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) of gametes and embryos (Gamete Buffer).

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.
