The description focuses on controlled rate freezing based on user-determined protocols and standard control systems, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities for optimizing the freezing process or analyzing data.
No.
A therapeutic device is one that treats or alleviates a disease or condition. This device is used to freeze gametes or embryos, which is a preparatory step in assisted reproduction, not a treatment itself.
No
The device is a controlled rate freezer for gametes or embryos, designed for freezing biological samples, not for diagnosing conditions or diseases.
No
The device description explicitly details physical hardware components (chamber sizes, temperature range, controller system) and mentions performance testing of these units, indicating it is a hardware device with integrated software, not a software-only medical device.
Based on the provided information, the Kryo ART brand of controlled rate freezers is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "freeze gametes or embryos at a user determined rate." This is a process performed on biological samples outside of the body, but it's a preparation or preservation step, not a diagnostic test performed on those samples to determine a medical condition or state.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics, temperature control, and software for the freezing process. It doesn't mention any components or functions related to analyzing or testing the biological samples themselves.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: An IVD device is typically used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Kryo ART freezer doesn't perform any such examination or analysis. It simply preserves the samples.
- Predicate Device: The predicate device, K021042, CryoMed IVF Controlled Rate Freezer, is also a controlled rate freezer used for similar purposes in assisted reproduction. These types of devices are generally classified as medical devices, but not specifically as IVDs.
While the device is used in a clinical setting (assisted reproduction) and handles biological samples, its function is to preserve those samples, not to diagnose anything based on them.

Device Description
The Kryo ART range of controlled rate freezers have been specifically designed and configured for use in the IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) community as a tool during assisted reproduction procedures. The Kryo ART range of controlled rate freezers are available in three chamber sizes depending on the number of samples to be frozen; 1.7 liters, 3.3 liters and 16 liters. All models incorporate the critical features expected from a high specification biological chamber and the -180 degrees C to +40 degrees C temperature range allows flexibility for a wide range of applications and protocols. All of the chamber sizes are controlled by the MRV controller system, which has been created to offer multiple protocols while remaining simple to program and operate. All systems include power failure protection, which allows the controller to continue monitoring during mains power failures. All software is designed, developed and maintained in accordance with the Company's internal procedures. These procedures form part of the full Quality System, which is approved to ISO 9001:1994, ISO 13485:1996 and EN 46001:1996 Performance testing is complete. Units were tested according to a specific protocol. Testing demonstrates the functional suitability of the Kryo ART Controlled Rate Freezer for their intended purpose. The Kryo ART brand of controlled rate freezes are intended to freeze gametes or embryos at a user determined rate.

§ 884.6120 Assisted reproduction accessories.
(a)
Identification. Assisted reproduction accessories are a group of devices used during assisted reproduction procedures, in conjunction with assisted reproduction needles and/or assisted reproduction catheters, to aspirate, incubate, infuse, and/or maintain temperature. This generic type of device may include:(1) Powered aspiration pumps used to provide low flow, intermittent vacuum for the aspiration of eggs (ova).
(2) Syringe pumps (powered or manual) used to activate a syringe to infuse or aspirate small volumes of fluid during assisted reproduction procedures.
(3) Collection tube warmers, used to maintain the temperature of egg (oocyte) collection tubes at or near body temperature. A dish/plate/microscope stage warmer is a device used to maintain the temperature of the egg (oocyte) during manipulation.
(4) Embryo incubators, used to store and preserve gametes and/or embryos at or near body temperature.
(5) Cryopreservation instrumentation and devices, used to contain, freeze, and maintain gametes and/or embryos at an appropriate freezing temperature.
(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls) (design specifications, labeling requirements, and clinical testing). The device, when it is a simple embryo incubator with only temperature, gas, and humidity control; a syringe pump; a collection tube warmer; a dish/plate/microscope stage warmer; a controlled-rate cryopreservation freezer; or an assisted reproduction laminar flow workstation is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 884.9.
