No
The device description is for a chemical media used for freezing embryos, and there is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other computational technology.
Yes
The device is a "media for freezing of blastocyst stage embryos," which is used in a medical procedure (cryopreservation of embryos) and is intended to preserve embryos for future use in assisted reproductive technology. This falls under the definition of a therapeutic device as it is directly involved in a therapeutic process by maintaining the viability of embryos for subsequent transfer, which is a treatment for infertility. Additionally, the predicate device "Blastocyst Freeze Media Kit" further supports its classification as a therapeutic device.
No
The device is described as "Media for freezing of blastocyst stage embryos," and its use involves preparations for freezing. This is an aid in a medical procedure (cryopreservation), not a device that identifies, monitors, or predicts a disease or condition, which are characteristics of a diagnostic device.
No
The device description clearly states it is "MOPS buffered media," which is a chemical 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 "Media for freezing of blastocyst stage embryos." This process is performed in vitro (outside the living body) on biological material (embryos).
- Device Description: The description details a "MOPS buffered media" used in a specific sequence with other solutions. This is a reagent or media used in a laboratory setting for a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure performed in vitro.
- Predicate Device: The predicate device listed is "Blastocyst Freeze Media Kit" (K000309). This strongly suggests that this type of product is regulated as an IVD.
While the description doesn't explicitly state it's for diagnostic purposes, the nature of the product (media for freezing embryos) and the predicate device indicate it falls under the scope of IVDs, which include reagents and media used in laboratory procedures involving human specimens.

Summary of Performance Studies
The technological characteristics of G-FreezeKit Blast™ are similar to those of the predicate device. Both the G-FreezeKit Blast™ and the prodicate device contain the cryopreservation ingredients Glycerol and Sucrose, which are added in a stepwise manner. In combination with G-ThawKit Blast™ , the freezing solutions provide an equal concentration gradient of Glycerol and Sucrose in a step up - step down protocol for freezing and thawing of human blastocysts. The G-FreezeKit Blast™ contains Penicillin G as antibiotic instead of Gentamicin.

§ 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.
