Intended Use
The embryo transfer catheter set is a sterile, single use device designed for in vitro fertilized (IVF) embryo transfer into the uterine cavity. The trial transfer catheter is a sterile, single use device which is designed for ensuring a free passage through the cervix prior to the embryo transfer. The stylet is a sterile, single-use device designed to support in initial placement of the guide catheter prior to the embryo transfer.
Device Description
**Embryo Transfer Catheter Set:** The Swemed Embryo Transfer Catheter Set is manufactured by Swemed of medical grade polymers. The device consists of a two piece assembly comprised of an embryo transfer catheter and a detachable guide catheter (outer sheath). The overall length of the assembly ranges from 190 mm to 250 mm. The outer diameter of the transfer catheter is approximately 1.4 mm and the outer diameter of the guide catheter is approximately 2.3 mm. The catheter sets are packaged separately or assembled in an double barrier sterilisation pouch/wrapping. All devices are sterilized using e-beam irradiation. **Trial Transfer Catheter Set:** The Swemed Trial Transfer Catheter Set is manufactured by Swemed and is identical to the Swemed Transfer Catheter Set except for tip design and packaging configuration. The differences are that the tip is closed, i.e. no hole, and that it is packaged in a single barrier, i.e. an outer sterilization pouch/wrapping only. All devices are sterilized using e-beam irradiation. **Stylet:** The Swemed stylet is manufactured by Swemed of medical grade polymers and stainless steel. The stylet consists of a handle (polyurethane) and polymer (polytetraflourethene) covered stainless steel wire. The Swemed stylet is packaged in a single barrier, i.e. an outer sterilization pouch/wrapping only. All devices are sterilized using e-beam irradiation.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the physical components and materials of a catheter set and stylet for embryo transfer, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML technology.

No.
The device facilitates the transfer of embryos, which is a diagnostic or procedural step, not a therapeutic treatment itself. The device is for "in vitro energized (IVF) embryo transfer into the uterine cavity" as stated in the intended use.

No

The device description indicates its purpose is for the physical transfer of an embryo or to ensure passage through the cervix, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components made of medical grade polymers and stainless steel, and mentions sterilization methods, indicating a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The described devices (embryo transfer catheter set, trial transfer catheter, and stylet) are instruments used to introduce something (embryos) into the body or to facilitate that process. They are used in vivo (within the living body).
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the devices are for "in vitro fertilized (IVF) embryo transfer into the uterine cavity" and "ensuring a free passage through the cervix." This is a procedural use, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.

Therefore, these devices fall under the category of medical devices used for a therapeutic or procedural purpose, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.
