No
The device description focuses on the physical characteristics and materials of a catheter for embryo transfer, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
Yes.
The device is used for introducing embryos into the uterine cavity, which is a medical intervention aimed at achieving pregnancy, thus qualifying it as therapeutic.
No
The device is used for the introduction of embryos into the uterine cavity, which is a therapeutic or interventional procedure, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly details a physical, sterile, single-use catheter with specific dimensions, materials, and markings, indicating it is a hardware medical device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the introduction of embryo(s) into the uterine cavity. This is a procedure performed on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for physical insertion and delivery of embryos. It does not describe any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to diagnose a condition, measure a substance in a sample, or provide any information about the patient's health status based on analysis of a biological specimen.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide diagnostic information. This device is a tool for a therapeutic procedure.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The sterile single-use device is to be used for the introduction of embryo(s) the uterine cavity during assisted reproductive procedures.

Device Description
The subject devices are single-use, sterile, disposable, flexible catheters with rounded smooth distal ends, provided for the introduction of embryos into the uterine cavity during in vitro fertilization or Embryo Transfer procedures. The subject devices are available in working lengths of 18cm including Luer Lock adaptors that are affixed at their proximal ends. The inner catheter is a clear tube with a 1.8mm outer and a 0.8mm inner diameter. The inner catheter is surrounded by an outer sheath with a 2.3mm outer diameter. This inner catheter has a series of graduated markings that are placed 1cm apart at the proximal end to provide reference to the degree of inner catheter insertion to the uterus during embryo placement. The distal of the outer sheath possesses a gradual taper and is shorter than the inner catheter. Jeaving the distal 5cm of the inner catheter exposed. The proximal circumference of the outer sheath and inner catheter are molded directly into the distal end of the Luer Lock adaptor. Five black graduation markings are located on the distal portion of the outer sheath at 1cm increments to indicate the degree of advancement into the cervix.
The subject devices will be packaged in a flexible pouch composed of Tyvek heat sealed to polyethviene film. The pouch is designed to be peeled open. The pouch will be placed in a white SBS carton will contain 10 mits. The subject devices will be sterilized using validated Ethylene Oxide cycle affording an SAL 10to sterility level.
The three versions to be offered are: AR-ET18 (18cm), AR-ET23 (23cm), and AR-ET23F (23cm Firm). The AR-ET23F contains a slightly stiffer 16 Ga. 23cm catheter.
The subject devices are composed of the following materials:
| Component | Material | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Inner Catheter | Polyurethane | Pellethane 2363-90A R0120 Poly-urethane |
| Outer Sheath | Teflon | Fluortek FEP-20 White (aka Neoflon NP-20) with 8-10% Barium Sulfate. |

§ 884.6110 Assisted reproduction catheters.
(a)
Identification. Assisted reproduction catheters are devices used in in vitro fertilization (IVF), gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), or other assisted reproduction procedures to introduce or remove gametes, zygote(s), preembryo(s), and/or embryo(s) into or from the body. This generic type of device may include catheters, cannulae, introducers, dilators, sheaths, stylets, and component parts.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls) (mouse embryo assay information, endotoxin testing, sterilization validation, design specifications, labeling requirements, biocompatibility testing, and clinical testing).

Dear Mr. Azary:
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.
