The summary describes a system for storing and sealing culture bags for ART, focusing on maintaining a stable environment. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or any of the other sections.
No.
The device is designed to store culture dishes with embryos and gametes and provide a stable microenvironment, which is a supportive function for ART, not a direct therapeutic intervention on the patient.
No
The device is described as a system for storing culture dishes (with embryos and gametes) and providing a stable microenvironment, and a sealer to inflate and seal culture bags. Its purpose is to maintain conditions for cells, making it a support or maintenance device in ART, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like "Culture Bags" and a "Culture Bag Sealer," indicating it is a hardware-based system, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the K-Systems Culture Bag System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Definition of IVD: An IVD device is 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.
- Intended Use: The K-Systems Culture Bag System is intended for use during Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART) to store culture dishes with embryos and gametes and provide a stable environment. It is not used to analyze human specimens for diagnostic purposes.
- Device Description: The description focuses on creating and maintaining a suitable environment for culturing cells (embryos and gametes), not on analyzing them for diagnostic information.
While the system is used in a laboratory setting and involves biological materials, its function is to support the growth and development of cells, not to perform diagnostic tests on them.

Device Description
The K-Systems Culture Bag Sealer is a bench top device which inflates the K-Systems Culture Bags with correct gas mixture and which seals the K-Systems Culture Bags. The K-Systems Culture Bags are specially designed Culture Bags which have low penetration value for Oxygen and CO2 and which are flexible and transparent making it possible to evaluate the cells within the culture bag.
When the K-Systems Culture Bags have been filled with the appropriate gas mixture the K-Systems Culture Bags are placed in a conventional incubator for maintaining the temperature.
The K-Systems culture bag sytem is a closed system that reduces the risk of cross contamination within the incubator.

§ 884.6120 Assisted reproduction accessories.
(a)
Identification. Assisted reproduction accessories are a group of devices used during assisted reproduction procedures, in conjunction with assisted reproduction needles and/or assisted reproduction catheters, to aspirate, incubate, infuse, and/or maintain temperature. This generic type of device may include:(1) Powered aspiration pumps used to provide low flow, intermittent vacuum for the aspiration of eggs (ova).
(2) Syringe pumps (powered or manual) used to activate a syringe to infuse or aspirate small volumes of fluid during assisted reproduction procedures.
(3) Collection tube warmers, used to maintain the temperature of egg (oocyte) collection tubes at or near body temperature. A dish/plate/microscope stage warmer is a device used to maintain the temperature of the egg (oocyte) during manipulation.
(4) Embryo incubators, used to store and preserve gametes and/or embryos at or near body temperature.
(5) Cryopreservation instrumentation and devices, used to contain, freeze, and maintain gametes and/or embryos at an appropriate freezing temperature.
(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls) (design specifications, labeling requirements, and clinical testing). The device, when it is a simple embryo incubator with only temperature, gas, and humidity control; a syringe pump; a collection tube warmer; a dish/plate/microscope stage warmer; a controlled-rate cryopreservation freezer; or an assisted reproduction laminar flow workstation is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 884.9.

Dear Mr. Møllenbach:
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 either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. 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.
