Intended Use
The Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) Micro-Injection Pipettes are used for the intracytoplasmic single sperm injection of oocytes. The Holding Pipettes are used to hold the oocyte in position with the application of vacuum. The Denuding Pipettes are used to remove the cumulus cell layers. The Assisted Hatching/Zona Drilling Pipettes are used to make a hole in the zona pellucida to enable blastomere removal or embryo assisted hatching.
Device Description
The Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) Micro-Injection Pipettes are used for the intracytoplasmic single sperm injection of oocytes, the Holding Pipettes are used to hold the occyte in position with the application of vacuum during single sperm injection with the micro-injection pipette, the Denuding Pipettes are used to remove cumulus cell layers, and the Assisted Hatching/Zona Drilling Pipettes are used to make a hole in the zona pellucida to enable embryo assisted hatching. These devices are manufactured entirely from borosilicate glass. Mouse Embryo Toxicity testing has been performed on the borosilicate glass. Results show the material meets the requirements of these tests.

No
The device description and intended use clearly describe physical pipettes made of borosilicate glass for manual manipulation of oocytes and embryos, with no mention of software, algorithms, or automated decision-making processes characteristic of AI/ML.

No
The device aids in in-vitro fertilization procedures by manipulating oocytes and sperm for injection, holding, denuding, and hatching. While these procedures are part of reproductive medicine, the devices themselves are tools for mechanical manipulation and do not directly treat a disease or condition in a living organism.

No

The device description and intended use outline procedures for manipulating oocytes and embryos (e.g., sperm injection, holding, denuding, zona drilling, assisted hatching). These are interventional or treatment-related procedures, not diagnostic in nature.

No

The device description explicitly states the devices are manufactured entirely from borosilicate glass, indicating they are physical instruments, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The intended use of these pipettes is for manipulating oocytes and sperm outside the body for the purpose of assisted reproduction (ICSI, denuding, assisted hatching). They are tools used in a procedure, not devices that analyze a specimen to provide diagnostic information about a patient's health.
  • The description focuses on the physical manipulation of cells and structures. The pipettes are used to inject sperm, hold oocytes, remove cell layers, and create holes in the zona pellucida. These are all physical actions performed on biological material, not analytical tests.
  • The performance testing mentioned is material biocompatibility (Mouse Embryo Toxicity), not diagnostic performance. This type of testing is relevant for devices that come into contact with biological material, but it doesn't indicate an IVD.

Therefore, while these pipettes are used in a laboratory setting and involve biological materials, their function is procedural and manipulative rather than diagnostic.

CFR Reference:884.6130

Predicate Devices:

Cook OB/GYN understands due to the recent reclassification there are no predicate devices. We have used other devices as well as Cook Australia devices as our predicate to illustrate safety and effectiveness.

The Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) Micro-Injection Pipettes, Holding Pipettes, and Assisted Hatching/Zona Drilling Pipettes are substantially equivalent to other pipettes in terms of indications for use, design, construction and materials equivalence.

Specifically, these devices are similar to the Intracytoplasmic Micropipet and Holding Micropipet manufactured by Humagen Fertility Diagnostics, Inc., 2345 Hunter's Way (No. 2), Charlottesville, VA 22901-7928, the Laboratory Micropipette Art. No. 33311 and Laboratory Micropipette Art. No. 22218 manufactured by SWEMED LAB International AB, Box 4014 S-421 04 V. Frolunda, Sweden and the (ICSI) pipettes, holding pipettes, denuding pipettes and assisted hatching/zona drilling pipettes manufactured and distributed in Europe by Cook Australia, 12 Electronics Street, Brisbane Industrial Park, Eight Miles Plains, Queensland, 4113, Australia.

Device Description:

The Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) Micro-Injection Pipettes are used for the intracytoplasmic single sperm injection of oocytes, the Holding Pipettes are used to hold the occyte in position with the application of vacuum during single sperm injection with the micro-injection pipette, the Denuding Pipettes are used to remove cumulus cell layers, and the Assisted Hatching/Zona Drilling Pipettes are used to make a hole in the zona pellucida to enable embryo assisted hatching. These devices are manufactured entirely from borosilicate glass. Mouse Embryo Toxicity testing has been performed on the borosilicate glass. Results show the material meets the requirements of these tests.

Substantial Equivalence:

This device will be manufactured according to specified process controls and a Quality Assurance Program. Being similar with respect to indications for use, materials and physical construction to predicate devices, these devices meet the requirements for section 510(k) substantial equivalence.
