Intended Use
Covering of medium during IVF and micro-manipulation procedures.
Device Story
OVOIL-150 is a double-washed, medium-equilibrated light paraffin oil containing a visual pH indicator. It is used in assisted reproduction facilities to cover culture media during IVF and micro-manipulation procedures. The oil acts as a barrier to prevent evaporation and maintain stable environmental conditions for embryos. It requires equilibration at +37°C and 5% CO2 before use. Safety and effectiveness are verified through lot-specific assays, including Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA) and Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) testing, alongside pH and osmolality testing per USP/EP guidelines.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials performed. Safety and effectiveness supported by long-term clinical experience in assisted reproduction facilities and bench testing. Bench testing includes lot-specific Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA) and Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) assay to ensure absence of toxins, plus pH and osmolality testing per USP and European Pharmacopoeia guidelines.
Technological Characteristics
Double-washed, medium-equilibrated light paraffin oil with visual pH indicator. Requires equilibration at +37°C and 5% CO2. Tested for pH and osmolality per USP/EP standards.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as a covering for culture media during in vitro fertilization (IVF) and micro-manipulation 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.

## Technological Characteristics:
The technological characteristics of OVOIL™-150 are identical to other legally marketed culture media classified under 21 C.F.R. § 884.6180, Reproductive Media and Supplements.
## Testing Performed:
Prior to and as a condition for market release, each lot of OVOIL™-150 is assayed by two-cell Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA) and Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) Assay. These assays are intended to assure that the media is suitable for its intended use and does not contain unacceptable levels of toxins. The MEA is performed

using test medium droplets under OVOIL. Information on these assays is provided on the label and in labeling of the products, and on a LOT-specific Certificate of Analysis provided with each delivery.
The pH and osmolality of each LOT of OVOIL is also tested prior to release. These tests are conducted according to guidelines issued by the United States Pharmacopoeia and the European Pharmacopoeia. Information on these tests is provided on the LOT-specific Certificate of Analysis provided with each delivery.
OVOIL™-150 has been used for IVF and micromanipulation procedures for many years at many different assisted reproduction facilities. Clinical experience during that time has established its safety and effectiveness for such use.
