Device Description
AIM-V® Medium is a liquid tissue culture media product intended for human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications. AIM-V® is a serum-free medium developed in 1987 to support adoptive immunotherapy (lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells) clinical trials. The formula for AIM-V® has remained the same since it was first manufactured with only slight quantity variations. AIM-V® Medium is prepared from a master formulation of Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium, HEPES buffer, human serum albumin.USP, human transferrin, and cholesterol, NF(which help promote growth of the cells and tissue).

The document describes a tissue culture medium and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No.
The device is a tissue culture media product used for ex vivo processing of human tissues and cells, not for direct therapeutic intervention in the human body.

No

Explanation: The device description states that AIM-V® Medium is a liquid tissue culture media product intended for human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications. Its purpose is to support cell and tissue growth, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device is a liquid tissue culture media product, which is a physical substance, 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 "for human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications." This means the medium is used to grow and maintain cells and tissues outside of the body for various purposes, such as research or therapeutic applications (like adoptive immunotherapy).
  • IVD Definition: An IVD is typically defined as a medical device used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: The description of AIM-V® Medium does not indicate that it is used to analyze or test patient specimens to diagnose a condition, monitor a disease, or determine compatibility. Its purpose is to support the growth of cells and tissues.

While the medium is used in processes that might eventually lead to diagnostic or therapeutic applications, the medium itself is a reagent for cell culture, not a diagnostic test. The predicate device, Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium, is also a common cell culture medium, further supporting this conclusion.

Device Description

AIM-V® is a serum-free medium developed in 1987 to support adoptive immunotherapy (lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells) clinical trials being conducted by Dr Steven Rosenberg (National Cancer Institute) and collaborating investigators. Many of the applications of AIM-V® are at the clinical investigation stage, although some procedures have been approved by the appropriate regulatory agency. In addition, the medium has been found to be useful in a growing list of applications, including culturing functionally differentiated lymphoid cell lines, investigating signal transduction pathways, and performing applications requiring component definition. The general use of tissue culture media products for human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications has been extensively described in peer-reviewed literature. The formula for AIM-V® has remained the same since it was first manufactured with only slight quantity variations. AIM-V® Medium is prepared from a master formulation of Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium, HEPES buffer, human serum albumin.USP, human transferrin, and cholesterol, NF (which help promote growth of the cells and tissue).

§ 876.5885 Tissue culture media for human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications.

(a)
Identification. Tissue culture media for human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications consist of cell and tissue culture media and components that are composed of chemically defined components (e.g., amino acids, vitamins, inorganic salts) that are essential for the ex vivo development, survival, and maintenance of tissues and cells of human origin. The solutions are indicated for use in human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls): FDA guidance document, “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Tissue Culture Media for Human Ex Vivo Processing Applications; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Reviewers.”

Intended Use

AIM-V® Medium is a liquid tissue culture media product intended for human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications.

Substantial Equivalence

Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) is the predicate device for tissue culture media intended for human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications. It is composed of chemically defined nutrient materials in solution (with or without supplements) that are essential for the survival and development of tissue or cells of human or other animal origin. These nutrients are provided in liquid form for use in supporting the growth or maintenance of human tissue and cells.

Page 2 510(k) Summary - Invitrogen Corporation AIM-V® Medium

A. Intended Uses

AIM-V® Medium and DMEM tissue culture products are intended for human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications. Both devices are chemically defined tissue culture media used to support the growth or maintenance of human tissue or cells in culture.

B. Principles of Operation and Technological Characteristics

AIM-V® is a serum-free medium developed in 1987 to support adoptive immunotherapy (lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells) clinical trials being conducted by Dr Steven Rosenberg (National Cancer Institute) and collaborating investigators. Many of the applications of AIM-V® are at the clinical investigation stage, although some procedures have been approved by the appropriate regulatory agency. In addition, the medium has been found to be useful in a growing list of applications, including culturing functionally differentiated lymphoid cell lines, investigating signal transduction pathways, and performing applications requiring component definition. The general use of tissue culture media products for human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications has been extensively described in peer-reviewed literature.

The formula for AIM-V® has remained the same since it was first manufactured with only slight quantity variations. AIM-V® Medium is prepared from a master formulation of Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium, HEPES buffer, human serum albumin.USP, human transferrin, and cholesterol, NF(which help promote growth of the cells and tissue).

C. Conclusion

AIM-V® and Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium are used for human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications and have the same principles of operation, technological characteristics, efficacy (generic cellular growth and maintenance) and safety (consistency in chemical content and formulation, biocompatibility with cells, and purity). Their efficacy in supporting the survival, growth, development, and maintenance of human cells or tissue culture systems has been well established in scientific publications included in this submission. Both products (AIM-V® and DMEM) are manufacturer in accordance with QSR requirements and are labeled as aseptically processed. Thus, AIM-V® Medium is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed device intended for the human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications.
