Intended Use
The InnTec, Inc. Embryo Transfer Catheter and Accessory Stylet is an assisted reproduction catheter used in IVF assisted reproduction procedures to introduce embryo(s) into the female uterus.
Device Description
The Embryo Transfer Catheter and Accessory Stylet are sterile, single patient use, disposable devices supporting transfer of an in vitro fertilized embryo to the uterus. The Embryo Transfer Catheter is a 5 Fr Catheter within a 7 Fr Guide Sheath. The 5 Fr Catheter is in contact with the embryo and the uterus. The embryo passes through the Catheter, which is open at the end. The Catheter is available in 18 and 23 cm lengths. The Catheter has marks a 1 cm intervals for depth of insertion. The 7 Fr Guide Sheath provides a smooth passage into the uterus and is open at the end. This Guide Sheath is available in 18 and 23 cm lengths. The Guide Sheath has marks at 1 cm intervals for depth of insertion. Both the 5 Fr Catheter and 7 Fr Guide Sheath have color-coded hubs to indicate the length variation. An optional accessory stylet is available to aid in the initial placement of the Guide Sheath. Both 18 and 23 cm length stylets are available.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the physical components and function of a catheter for embryo transfer, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Description of the training set..." sections are explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is used to introduce an embryo into the female uterus for assisted reproduction, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
The device is described as an "assisted reproduction catheter used in IVF assisted reproduction procedures to introduce embryo(s) into the female uterus," indicating a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly describes physical hardware components (catheter, guide sheath, stylet) used for a physical procedure (introducing embryos into the uterus). There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "introduce embryo(s) into the female uterus." This is a therapeutic or procedural use, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter and stylet used for physically transferring an embryo. It does not describe any components or processes for analyzing biological samples to provide diagnostic information.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing blood, tissue, or any other biological sample to determine a patient's condition or status.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is used to facilitate a medical procedure (embryo transfer), not to diagnose anything.
