No
The description details a spectrophotometer/reflectometer that measures sperm characteristics based on light interaction and direct counting, without mentioning any AI/ML algorithms for analysis or interpretation.
No
The device is used for sperm analysis and quantification, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It measures parameters like concentration, motility, and velocity, providing information but not treating a condition.
Yes
The device analyzes and quantifies sperm parameters (concentration, motility, velocity), which can be used to diagnose fertility issues. The comparison to the IVOS™ Sperm analysis system, which is also a diagnostic device for sperm analysis, further supports this.
No
The device description clearly states that the AutoMARQER™ is an instrument that performs physical measurements using spectrophotometry and reflectometry, involving a laser beam and physical interaction with a specimen on a cassette. This indicates it is a hardware device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the AutoMARQER™ is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "for sperm analysis and quantification, using MARQ™ Plus Test Kits." This indicates that the device is used to perform tests on biological specimens (sperm) outside of the body to provide information for medical purposes (analysis and quantification).
- Device Description: The description details how the device interacts with a "specimen introduced into the instrument on a special MARQ™ Plus Test Kit cassette." This further confirms that it's designed to analyze biological samples.
- Use of Test Kits: The reliance on "MARQ™ Plus Test Kits" is a strong indicator of an IVD, as IVDs often utilize specific reagents or kits to perform the diagnostic test.
- Comparison to Predicate Device: The mention of the predicate device, the "IVOS Sperm analysis system (K920719)," which is also a sperm analysis system, suggests that the AutoMARQER™ falls into a similar regulatory category, which is typically IVD for such devices.
- Performance Study: The summary of performance studies comparing the AutoMARQER™ to the IVOS™ system further supports its role as a diagnostic tool.
Therefore, the AutoMARQER™ fits the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The AutoMARQER™ functions as a differential spectrophotometer / reflectometer, using MARQ™ Plus Test Kits* for sperm analysis.
The AutoMARQER conducts sequential measurement operations on a specimen introduced into the instrument on a special MARQ™ Plus Test Kit cassette designed for use with the AutoMARQER.
When using the FertilMARQ Plus Test Kit,* the AutoMARQER measures sperm concentration, motility and velocity. The AutoMARQER performs as a spectrophotometer when measuring specimen concentration. When measuring motility and velocity, it measures light scatter that occurs as sperm intercept its laser beam. It measures number of sperm in a beam directly by counting sperm cells crossing the beam and determines their velocity by the length of bearn passage. Since the beam diameter is known, the crossing time gives the sperm velocity

(a)
Identification. An automated differential cell counter is a device used to identify one or more of the formed elements of the blood. The device may also have the capability to flag, count, or classify immature or abnormal hematopoietic cells of the blood, bone marrow, or other body fluids. These devices may combine an electronic particle counting method, optical method, or a flow cytometric method utilizing monoclonal CD (cluster designation) markers. The device includes accessory CD markers.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Premarket Notifications for Automated Differential Cell Counters for Immature or Abnormal Blood Cells; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA.”

Dear Dr. Diarmaid Douglas-Hamilton:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of March 13, 2002.
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 class II (Special Controls), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition. FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); medical device reporting (reporting of
