No
The description mentions a microprocessor controlling parameters and preloaded/user-defined profiles, which is standard programmable logic, not AI/ML. There is no mention of learning, adaptation, or complex pattern recognition.
No
The device is used to freeze gametes and/or embryos. It is not used for treatment or diagnosis of a disease or condition in a patient.
No
The device is a controlled-rate freezer used to freeze gametes and/or embryos. It is not used to identify or analyze a disease or medical condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a bench top unit that controls temperature and rate using liquid nitrogen, an electric heater, and an air-circulating fan, indicating significant hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The Thermo Forma CryoMed Controlled Rate Freezer is used to freeze biological samples (gametes and embryos). It is a piece of equipment used in a process, not a test that analyzes a sample to provide diagnostic information.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to freeze gametes and/or embryos at a controlled rate for improved viability. This is a preservation process, not a diagnostic test.
Therefore, while it handles biological samples, its function is not to perform an in vitro diagnostic test.

Device Description
The CryoMed controlled rate freezers are bench top units. They control temperature and temperature The ce your the use of liquid nitrogen (LN2), an electric heater and an air-circulating fan. Freezing parameters and alarm functions are controlled by a microprocessor built into the controlled rate freezer itself. The freezer is supplied with several preloaded freezing profiles as well as allowing the user to define their own profiles. Optional PC resident software, supplied with each unit, allows user defined programs to be written on a personal computer and downloaded to the freezer. The freezer then stores these parameters in its memory and takes over control of the run.

§ 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.
