Intended Use
In the treatment of infertile couples by ICSI, PICSI is indicated for the selection of mature sperm for injection.
Device Description
The PICSI™ Sperm Selection Device is a sterile, plastic culture dish with three microdots of hyaluronan hydrogel attached to the dish and three locating lines emoussed on the bottom exterior of the dish to aid the operator to find the microdots. Mature sperm attach themselves to hyaluronan through specific receptors on the sperm plasma membrane. At temperatures from 18-28° C, mature sperm attach firmly to the hyaluronan microdot and no longer exhibit progressive movement, although their tails beat and they are capable of motility. Such sperm are removed from the hyaluronan by micropipet for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on a passive, biochemical method for sperm selection based on hyaluronan binding, with no mention of computational analysis, algorithms, or learning processes.

No
The device is used for selecting mature sperm for injection in ICSI, not for directly treating a disease or condition in a patient. It is an aid in a therapeutic procedure.

No

The device is used to select mature sperm for injection in fertility treatments, not to diagnose a condition or disease. It is a tool for a therapeutic procedure (ICSI), not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a sterile, plastic culture dish with physical components (microdots of hyaluronan hydrogel, locating lines). This is a hardware device, not software only.

Based on the provided information, the PICSI™ Sperm Selection Device is likely considered an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "In the treatment of infertile couples by ICSI, PICSI is indicated for the selection of mature sperm for injection." This describes a process performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples (sperm) to aid in a medical procedure (ICSI for infertility treatment).
  • Device Description: The device is a "sterile, plastic culture dish with three microdots of hyaluronan hydrogel". This is a laboratory tool designed to interact with biological samples.
  • Mechanism of Action: The device utilizes the interaction between sperm and hyaluronan to select mature sperm. This is a biological process occurring in vitro.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies compare the device's effectiveness in selecting sperm for fertilization and embryo development, which are in vitro outcomes.
  • Predicate Devices: The predicate devices listed, "Sperm Catch™ Assisted Reproduction Media" and "FALCON® IVF Round Dish," are also typically classified as IVDs used in assisted reproductive technologies.

While the device itself doesn't perform a diagnostic test in the traditional sense (like detecting a disease), it is a critical component used in vitro to prepare biological samples for a medical procedure aimed at treating a medical condition (infertility). Regulatory bodies often classify devices used in assisted reproductive technologies that interact with gametes and embryos in vitro as IVDs.

Therefore, the evidence strongly suggests that the PICSI™ Sperm Selection Device falls under the category of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

In a clinical trial involving side-by-side fertilization of oocytes by ICSI, using sperm selected on PICSI and in Sperm Catch, the fertilization rates, quality of the resulting embryos and the disposition of embryos in the PICSI and the Sperm Catch groups were compared. No statistically significant differences were found in fertilization rates, the average number of cells in the 3-day embryos, the number of 3-day embryos with 8 or more cells, the morphological characterization of the 3-, 5- and 6-day embryos and the disposition (outcomes) of the 3- and 6-day embryos.

§ 884.6160 Assisted reproduction labware.

(a)
Identification. Assisted reproduction labware consists of laboratory equipment or supplies intended to prepare, store, manipulate, or transfer human gametes or embryos for in vitro fertilization (IVF), gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), or other assisted reproduction procedures. These include syringes, IVF tissue culture dishes, IVF tissue culture plates, pipette tips, dishes, plates, and other vessels that come into physical contact with gametes, embryos or tissue culture media.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls) (mouse embryo assay information, endotoxin testing, sterilization validation, design specifications, labeling requirements, and clinical testing). The device, when it is a dish or plate intended for general assisted reproduction technology procedures, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 884.9.

Dear Dr. Johnston:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Image /page/2/Picture/10 description: The image shows the FDA Centennial logo. The logo is circular and contains the text "FDA Centennial" in the center. The years "1906 - 2006" are at the top of the circle. The text "Protecting and Promoting Public Health" is below the logo.
