PureCeption™ is for in vitro procedures involving sperm separation, washing and isolation.
Not Found
This document is a 510(k) premarket notification FDA approval letter for a medical device called "PureCeption™ Lower Phase, PureCeption™ Upper Phase, and PureCeption™ Sperm Washing Media with HEPES-buffered Ham's F-10 and HSA." This type of document declares that the device is "substantially equivalent" to a legally marketed predicate device.
Crucially, a 510(k) summary (or a 510(k) premarket notification as referenced here) typically does NOT contain detailed study data or acceptance criteria specifications in the format requested. The FDA's 510(k) clearance process focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, which often relies on comparative performance rather than establishing new, standalone effectiveness or performance criteria through in-depth clinical studies as might be seen for a PMA (Premarket Approval) submission.
Therefore, based on the provided text, I cannot extract the specific information about acceptance criteria, study details, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or expert qualifications. The letter only confirms that the device is approved for marketing based on its substantial equivalence.
The "Indications For Use" state: "PureCeption™ is for in vitro procedures involving sperm separation, washing and isolation." This is the only performance-related statement that can be directly extracted.
To answer your request, if this were a document that contained the specific study information, it would typically look for sections detailing:
- Performance Data/Clinical Studies: Where the design, methodology, results, and statistical analysis of performance tests would be presented.
- Acceptance Criteria: Explicit numerical or qualitative targets the device performance needed to meet.
- Test Set/Training Set Details: Information about the data used for evaluation and development.
- Ground Truth: How the "correct" answers or references were determined.
Since this information is not present in the provided FDA letter, I cannot fulfill the request for those details.

PureCeption™ Lower Phase, PureCeption™ Upper Phase, and PureCeption™ Sperm Washing Media with HEPES-buffered Ham's F-10 and HSA Dated: August 20, 1999 Received: August 23, 1999 Regulatory Class: II 21 CFR §884.6180/Procode: 85 MQL
Dear Mr. Holland:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act indude requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or dass III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Eederal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
lf you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnosic devices), piease contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification"(21 CFR 807.97); Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597, or at its internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html".

§ 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.
