The device description and intended use clearly define it as a cryopreservative solution, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any computational processing that would involve AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section also explicitly states "Not Found".
No.
This device is a cryopreservative solution intended to protect human sperm during cryopreservation, not to treat a disease or condition itself.
No
Explanation: The device is a cryopreservative solution used for protecting sperm during cryopreservation, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function. It is intended to preserve a biological sample, not to identify or characterize a disease or condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "buffered salt solution containing human serum albumin and glycerol," which is a physical substance, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is likely an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The product is intended to be used as a cryopreservative for protecting human sperm during cryopreservation. While the ultimate goal is ART (which involves the human body), the action of protecting the sperm in vitro (outside the body) is a key function.
- Device Description: The description details a buffered salt solution with specific components (human serum albumin, glycerol) designed to interact with the sperm in vitro to preserve them.
- Lack of Direct Interaction with the Body: The product is applied to the sperm before they are used in ART. It doesn't directly interact with the patient's body for diagnosis or treatment.
While the product is an "adjunct to one of the techniques for ART," its primary function is performed in vitro on the sperm cells themselves. This aligns with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. In this case, the "specimen" is the sperm, and the "information" is the ability to preserve their viability for later use in ART.
Therefore, based on the intended use and device description, it fits the criteria of an IVD.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The product is intended to be used cryopreservative for protecting human sperm during cryopreservation, an adjunct to one of the techniques for ART (assisted reproductive technology).

Device Description
Sperm CryoProtec™ is a buffered salt solution containing human serum albumin and glycerol (10%), has a stable shelf-life of at least 12 months in the unopened bottle at ambient temperature. The product has extremely low endotoxin levels, protects sperm during cryopreservation, and is produced according to cGMP (pharmaceutical device registration). No material of animal origin is included in the product and no antibiotics are present, since antibiotics can have a detrimental effect on sperm. Glycerol, which is also toxic to sperm, is present at the lowest concentration found to be compatible with a cryoprotectant effect.

§ 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.
