None

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, image processing, or any other indicators of AI/ML technology.

No
The device is used for softening the embryo zona during assisted reproductive procedures, which is an intervention aimed at treating or alleviating a condition (infertility).

No
The device is described as being used for "softening of the embryo zona during assisted reproductive procedures," which is a treatment or procedural step, not a diagnostic act.

Unknown

The provided 510(k) summary is incomplete and lacks crucial information about the device description. Without knowing the device's components and how it achieves the intended use, it's impossible to determine if it's software-only.

Based on the provided information, it is unlikely that this device is an IVD.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "softening of the embryo zona during assisted reproductive procedures." This describes a procedure performed on an embryo, which is outside the human body, but it's a manipulation of the embryo itself, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description doesn't mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing a sample (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic or monitoring information about a patient's health status.
    • Using reagents or assays.

In summary, the intended use describes a procedural step in assisted reproduction, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample. Therefore, it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 884.6180 Reproductive media and supplements.

(a)
Identification. Reproductive media and supplement are products that are used for assisted reproduction procedures. Media include liquid and powder versions of various substances that come in direct physical contact with human gametes or embryos (including water, acid solutions used to treat gametes or embryos, rinsing solutions, sperm separation media, supplements, or oil used to cover the media) for the purposes of preparation, maintenance, transfer or storage. Supplements are specific reagents added to media to enhance specific properties of the media (e.g., proteins, sera, antibiotics, etc.).(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls) (mouse embryo assay information, endotoxin testing, sterilization validation, design specifications, labeling requirements, biocompatibility testing, and clinical testing). The device, when it is phosphate-buffered saline used for washing, and short-term handling and manipulation of gametes and embryos; culture oil used as an overlay for culture media containing gametes and embryos; and water for assisted reproduction applications, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 884.9.

Re: K022547 Trade/Device Name: Acidified Tyrodes Solution Regulation Number: 21 CFR 884.6180 Regulation Name: Reproductive media and supplements Regulatory Class: II Product Code: 85 MQL Dated: July 23, 2002 Received: August 1, 2002

Dear Mr. Cecchi

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. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter:
