Intended Use
The sterile single-use device is intended to assess advancement through the cervical canal and positioning of the uterus.
Device Description
The CooperSurgical Trial Transfer catheters are single-use sterile, disposable, flexible catheters with a round smooth distal end. The tip has a blind/closed end. The device has an overall length of either 18cm or 23cm including a polypropylene Luer Lock Adaptor that is affixed at its proximal end. The inner catheter is a clear tube with a 1.8mm outer diameter and a 0.8mm 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 catherer insertion to the uters during embryo placement. The distal 0.1cm length of the outer sheath possesses a gradual taper and is shorter than the inner catheter leaving the distal 5cm of the inner catheter exposed. The proximal circumferences of the outer sheath and inner catheter are molded directly into the distal end of the Luer Lock Adaptor. Five black (ink) graduation markings are located on the distal portion of the outer sheath at 1cm increments to indicate the degree of advanced into the cervix. This facilitates catheter positioning and placement during embryo replacement with an assisted reproduction catheter.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and biocompatibility of a catheter, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is intended to "assess advancement through the cervical canal and positioning of the uterus" and "facilitate catheter positioning and placement during embryo replacement," which are diagnostic and procedural support functions, not therapeutic.

No

The device is described as assisting with "advancement through the cervical canal and positioning of the uterus" and "facilitates catheter positioning and placement during embryo replacement." This indicates an interventional/procedural use rather than a diagnostic one, as it's used to physically interact with and prepare the anatomical site for another procedure (embryo replacement), rather than to diagnose a condition or derive a medical conclusion.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with specific dimensions, materials (polypropylene), and physical features (graduated markings, Luer Lock Adaptor). There is no mention of software as a component of the device itself.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "assess advancement through the cervical canal and positioning of the uterus." This is a physical assessment of anatomical structures, not a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological specimens to diagnose a condition or provide information about a physiological state.
  • Device Description: The device is a catheter designed for physical insertion and measurement within the body. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of reagents, assays, analysis of biological fluids (like blood, urine, etc.), or any other typical components or processes associated with in vitro diagnostics.

The device is a medical device used for a procedural purpose (assessing uterine positioning), not for diagnostic testing of biological samples.

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. 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.
