AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study information for the ISM1+, ISM2+, and UTM+ media, based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria (Set by Sponsor)Reported Device Performance (from studies)
Product Testing Controls (per batch):
Sterility satisfactoryCertificate of Analysis available for each batch

Effective for development of embryos for Day 2-3 transfer or Day 5 blastocyst transferDemonstrated in original ISM media multicenter trial and supported by equivalence studies.

2. Sample Sizes and Data Provenance

  • Test Set (Clinical Data for Original ISM):
    • Sample Size: 466 cycles.
    • Data Provenance: France, prospective multicenter trial.
  • Test Set (Clinical Data for ISM1+/ISM2+ vs. Original ISM):
    • Sample Size: Not specified (referred to as "a clinical study").
    • Data Provenance: Not specified (implied to be clinical, likely related to the sponsor's efforts).
  • Test Set (Clinical Data for ISM+ series vs. G1.2/G2.2):
    • Sample Size: Not specified (referred to as "two prospective studies").
    • Data Provenance: Not specified (implied to be clinical).
  • Batch Release Testing (Mouse Embryo Assay):
    • Sample Size: Not specified per batch, but it's a routine quality control test.
    • Data Provenance: Laboratory testing by the manufacturer.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth

This information is not provided in the document. The studies are clinical trials involving patients and their outcomes, which serve as the "ground truth" for effectiveness in supporting embryo development and transfer. The assessment of embryo viability and success is performed by clinicians (e.g., embryologists, IVF specialists), but their specific qualifications and number are not detailed.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not provided. Clinical outcomes (pregnancies, embryo development) were likely assessed by the involved clinical centers and compiled. There's no mention of a specific adjudication panel or method beyond what's inherent in clinical practice.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

  • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The studies described are clinical trials comparing the culture media's efficacy in achieving desired embryo development and pregnancy outcomes, not studies involving human readers interpreting outputs or effects of an AI system.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance

  • No, a standalone performance study was not done. The device is a culture medium, not an algorithm or AI system. Its performance is directly observed through biological outcomes in embryos.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Clinical Outcomes: For the clinical studies, the ground truth was based on:
    • Embryo development (cleavage, blastocyst formation).
    • Pregnancy rates.
    • Singleton vs. twin pregnancies.
    • Absence of serious adverse events.
  • Biological/Laboratory Standards: For the product testing controls (sterility, pH, osmolality, endotoxin, Mouse Embryo Assay), the ground truth was established against predefined acceptable ranges and biological performance thresholds (e.g., blastocyst rate > 70%).

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not Applicable. This is a medical device (culture medium), not a machine learning model. Therefore, there is no "training set" in the context of AI.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • Not Applicable. As there is no AI training set, this question does not apply.

Clinical Documentation:

Medi-Cult's new ISM1+, ISM2+( Innovative Sequential Media) and UTM + (Uterine Transfer Medium) is a modified version of older ISM1/ISM2/UTM media.

The original ISM media have been tested in a multicenter trial in France. The study included patients, not more than 40 years of age, accepted for IVF and ICSI treatments to a total of 466 cycles. After fertilization in Universal IVF Medium the embryos were cultured in ISM1, ISM2 and either transferred on Day 2/3 or Day 5 using UTM.The data show that the ISM media support development of viable cleavage and blastocyst embryos following either IVF or ICSI and these can be transferred on Day 2/3 or at the blastocyst stage.

All pregnancies in the study were singletons with the exception of one pair of twins. The twins were a result of two individual embryos implanted and therefore no monozygotic twins were seen in the entire study.

Furthermore, a clinical study has been performed where Medi-Cult's original ISM1/ISM2 have been compared to ISM1+/1SM2+. The conclusion was that the two versions were equally effective.

Two prospective studies where the ISM series and ISM+ series respectively have been compared to G1.2/G2.2 media systems have been performed.

Based on the results of these studies it is concluded that Medi-Cult's ISM+ series comprising ISM1+, ISM2+ and UTM+ media are substantial equivalent to Vitrolife's G1,2-G2.2 sequential culture system and is effective for development of embryos for Day 2-3 transfer or for developing blastocysts for Day 5 transfer in patients for IVF or ICSI

During our studies there has been no registered complaints and no evidence that the product has been the cause of any serious adverse events in connection with its intended use.

Thus based on the clinical data presented and our experience with the ISM products we feel that the safety and effectiveness of the product for its intended use is shown in the present submission and the products are substantially equivalent to the predicated devices G1.2 media ( K 000625) and G2.2 media ( K 000619).

§ 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.
