Intended Use

The Wallace Oocyte Retrieval Set is intended for ultrasound-guided, transvaginal recovery and collection of oocytes from ovarian follicles.
The Wallace Oocyte Retrieval Sets are sterile, single-use intended for ultrasound-guided, transvaginal collection of oocytes for ovarian follicles.

Device Description

Wallace Oocyte Retrieval Set is a single-use device provided sterile for ultrasound-guided, transvaginal recovery and collection of oocytes from ovarian follicles. The set consists of a single-lumen, stainless steel needle attached to polyurethane (Tecoflex) tubing 750mm long, using a 25mm long medical grade silicone sleeve. The needle is 33cm in length and available in 16 gauge or 17 gauge, each having echomarking at the distal tip for ultrasound reflection and a plastic hub at the proximal end for ease of guidance by hand. Tubing is attached to the hub of the needle and protrudes a total distance of 700mm until it passes through a silicone bung and terminates in an ABS female luer connector. FEP tubing for suction also protrudes through the bung, and at the other end terminates in a polypropylene luer lock connector.

AI/ML Overview

The Wallace Oocyte Retrieval Set is a medical device and therefore its acceptance criteria is based on safety and efficacy rather than performance metrics like sensitivity or specificity.

1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance CriterionReported Performance
Visual InspectionSufficient to ensure efficacy and safety
Dimensional AccuracySufficient to ensure efficacy and safety
Functional PerformanceSufficient to ensure efficacy and safety
Two-cell Mouse Embryo AssayPerformed and deemed sufficient to ensure efficacy and safety
Bacterial Endotoxin (Limulus Amoebocyte Pyrogen) TestPerformed and deemed sufficient to ensure efficacy and safety
Biological Safety (ISO 10993, Part 1:1994)Assessment performed and deemed sufficient to ensure efficacy and safety

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance

The document does not specify a distinct test set or sample size for each performance test. The device is a "set" implying multiple components and likely multiple units were subjected to these tests. Given the 2001 date, it is highly probable that all testing was retrospective and conducted in the UK, where the applicant (SIMS Portex Ltd) is located.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications

No information is provided regarding the number or qualifications of experts involved in establishing acceptance criteria or interpreting test results. The implication is that internal company experts conducted and assessed the tests.

4. Adjudication Method

No formal adjudication method is described. The acceptance appears to be based on the internal assessment of the conducted tests.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

Not applicable. The Wallace Oocyte Retrieval Set is a medical device, not an AI or imaging diagnostic tool that would typically involve a multi-reader, multi-case study.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance

Not applicable. The Wallace Oocyte Retrieval Set is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for acceptance appears to be established by adherence to internal company-developed tests and the ISO 10993 standard for biological safety, rather than external expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data in the context of diagnostic accuracy. The "two-cell Mouse Embryo Assay" provides a biological ground truth for embryo toxicity.

8. Sample Size for Training Set

Not applicable. The device is not an AI model, so there is no "training set."

9. How Ground Truth for Training Set Was Established

Not applicable.
