This 510(k) submission (K050521) for the InnTec, Inc. Embryo Transfer Catheter and Accessory Stylet does not include a study to demonstrate device performance against acceptance criteria.
Instead, this submission seeks substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Life Tech Medical, Inc.'s Embryo Glide™ Embryo Transfer Catheter and Accessory, K992307) based on similarities in intended use, technology, materials, and manufacturing processes. Therefore, the information requested in your prompt regarding acceptance criteria, study data, sample sizes, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and training set details cannot be extracted from this document.
The provided document explicitly states:
- "The intended use, technology, materials and manufacturing processes of the InnTec, Inc. Embryo The meeter and Accessory Stylet are the same as the predicate device. No new questions of safety or effectiveness are raised."
This indicates that the submission relies on the established safety and effectiveness of the predicate device rather than presenting new performance data for InnTec's device.
