The device description and performance studies focus on the chemical composition and biological function of a sperm processing medium, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
No
The device is a medium used for processing sperm, not a device that directly treats a condition or disease in a patient. It is used as part of a procedure (assisted reproductive technology) but is not itself the therapeutic agent.
No
Explanation: The device is a medium used for processing and isolating sperm in assisted reproductive technology procedures. It does not diagnose any condition or disease.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "synthetic, defined culture medium composed of a mixture of salts and other physiologically compatible substances supplemented with 5mg/ml human serum albumin," 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 intended use is for "assisted reproductive technology procedures that involve the isolation, processing and transfer of sperm." This involves handling biological samples (sperm) outside of the body for a medical purpose (reproductive technology).
- Device Description: It's a "synthetic, defined culture medium" used in "sperm processing procedures." This further supports its use in handling biological samples in a laboratory or clinical setting.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies mention "cytotoxicity testing and sperm motility/hyperactivation analysis" and a "mouse embryo assay." These are tests performed on biological samples (sperm and embryos) to evaluate the performance and safety of the medium.
- Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (K983588) suggests that this device is being compared to a previously cleared device, which is a common process for IVDs seeking regulatory approval.
While the document doesn't explicitly state "In Vitro Diagnostic," the nature of the device, its intended use, and the type of performance testing described strongly align with the definition of an IVD. It's a reagent or medium used to process biological samples (sperm) outside the body for a medical purpose (assisted reproductive technology).

Device Description
ISOCARE ONE-STEP Sperm Processing Medium is a synthetic, defined culture medium composed of a mixture of salts and other physiologically compatible substances supplemented with 5mg/ml human serum albumin. ISOCARE ONE-STEP Sperm Processing Medium is intended for use in sperm processing procedures prior to intrauterine or other assisted reproductive technology procedures. It has been formulated to mimic the composition of the fluid found in fallopian tubes as defined by Quinn etal (Quinn P, Kerin JF, Warnes GM: Fertil Steril 1985;44:493-498). ISOCARE ONE-STEP Medium uses a combined sodium bicarbonate/HEPES (J4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid () buffering system and is appropriate for those procedures that do not use a carbon dioxide atmosphere.

Summary of Performance Studies
ISOCARE ONE-STEP Sperm Processing Medium is subjected to cytotoxicity testing and sperm motility/hyperactivation analysis. Each lot of ISOCARE ONE-STEP Medium is also assayed by a mouse embryo assay prior to its release to market. These assays assure that the product is both functional for its intended use, and that no toxic components are present in the formulation. Sperm isolation and processing media have been used in a variety of clinical settings, for the intended use for a number of years. In that time the product has become the standard media used for sperm isolation, washing and transport.
Mouse embryo testing will be performed as a condition of release for ISOCARE ONE-STEP Sperm Processing Medium as well as endotoxin and sterility testing. Results of all release assays will be reported on a lot-specific certificate of analysis and will be indicated on the labeling.

§ 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.

Intended Use:
ISOCARE ONE-STEP Sperm Processing Medium is intended for use in assisted reproductive technology procedures that involve the isolation, processing and transfer of sperm. Specifically, ISOCARE ONE-STEP Sperm Processing Medium is intended for use as a sperm isolation and processing medium in the isolation and processing of sperm during intrauterine and other reproductive technology procedures.
Design Characteristics:
ISOCARE ONE-STEP Sperm Processing Medium is intended for use as a culture medium for a variety of assisted reproductive procedures. During sperm isolation and processing procedures, sperm cells are separated from the other constituents of seminal fluid in an effort to concentrate the viable sperm and increase the number of sperm available for fertilization. A culture medium such as ISOCARE ONE-STEP Sperm Processing Medium is used to suspend the semen, the sample is centrifuged, and, after the spent semen layer is decanted, the lower ISOCARE Layer, containing the concentrated sperm sample can be used directly for intrauterine insemination. Alternatively, the sperm containing ISOCARE layer can be diluted with sperm wash medium and centrifuged to obtain a purified sperm pellet which may be used used for the desired fertilization procedure. ISOCARE ONE-STEP Medium is therefore intended for use as a sperm isolation and processing medium in assisted reproductive technology procedures.
Performance Data:
ISOCARE ONE-STEP Sperm Processing Medium is subjected to cytotoxicity testing and sperm motility/hyperactivation analysis. Each lot of ISOCARE ONE-STEP Medium is also assayed by a mouse embryo assay prior to its release to market. These assays assure that the product is both functional for its intended use, and that no toxic components are present in the formulation. Sperm isolation and processing media have been used in a variety of clinical settings, for the intended use for a number of years. In that time the product has become the standard media used for sperm isolation, washing and transport.
Additional Information:
Mouse embryo testing will be performed as a condition of release for ISOCARE ONE-STEP Sperm Processing Medium as well as endotoxin and sterility testing. Results of all release assays will be reported on a lot-specific certificate of analysis and will be indicated on the labeling.

Conclusion:
The conclusion from performance testing, as well as a review of published historical information contained in the professional literature shows that ISOCARE ONE-STEP Sperm Processing Medium is suitable for its intended use and meets the criteria outlined in the Final Rule, 63 FR48428, Docket number 97N-0335.
