No
The 510(k) summary describes a chemical solution (oil) used as an overlay in embryo culture. There is no mention of any software, image processing, or analytical capabilities that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The performance study described is a biological assay, not a computational analysis.

No
The device is used as an overlay during embryo and gamete manipulation in assisted reproductive technology, but it does not directly treat a disease or condition in a patient. It supports a procedure rather than being a therapeutic agent itself.

No

The device is an oil used in assisted reproductive technology to cover culture media, supporting embryonic growth and ensuring no toxic components are present. It does not diagnose any conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "solution" and is used as an "overlay" in a physical process, indicating it is a chemical or biological product, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to cover culture media during embryo and gamete manipulation in assisted reproductive technology procedures. This is a laboratory reagent or accessory used in the process, not a device that directly tests a sample from the human body to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces its role as an overlay for culture media, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing a biological sample, detecting a marker, or providing information about a patient's health status or condition.
  • Performance Study: The performance study described is a mouse embryo assay to ensure the product supports embryonic growth and is non-toxic. This is a quality control test for the product itself, not a clinical performance study demonstrating diagnostic accuracy.

IVDs are typically used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. This oil does not fit that description.

Not Found

§ 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.

Dear Dr. Lee:

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 include 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 III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal 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 OS 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.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
