The device has a build-in microscope within a red light source. Separate processing units control the incubation environment and the data acquisition to ensure safe and reliable operation. The Device allows incubation of up to 72 individual embryos in six sterile disposable EmbryoSlides™ each with capacity for 12 embryos.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the EmbryoScope™ (Version D) and EmbryoSlide™ devices, based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The documents describe the EmbryoScope™ (Version D) as an IVF incubator and the EmbryoSlide™ (FT-S-ES-D) as an IVF incubator accessory. The acceptance criteria primarily revolve around demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices. This means the new devices perform as safely and effectively as existing legally marketed devices.

The "acceptance criteria" are not explicitly stated in numerical thresholds but are implied by the comparison to predicate devices and the clinical testing outcome. The "reported device performance" is the statement of equivalence and the finding of comparable outcomes.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
EmbryoScope™ (Version D) - Functionality and Safety equivalent to predicate incubator (COOK Mini-Incubator K983642)Underwent and passed electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, environmental, and operating performance testing. Classification according to IEC 60601-1.
EmbryoScope™ (Version D) - Image acquisition feature (integrated inverted microscope) safe for embryos and comparable to conventional microscopy.Light intensity is comparable to conventional light microscopes used in IVF clinics, indicating safety for embryos. Embryo disturbance minimized as slides remain in the controlled incubation environment during microscopy.
EmbryoScope™ (Version D) - Oxygen control function in line with existing technology.The concept of controlling Oxygen levels (3-20%) is not new and comparable to devices like the Forma Scientific Incubator (K991408).
EmbryoScope™ (Version D) - Maintains humidity and reduces contamination risk.Uses an oil overlay and a dedicated slide lid to avoid increased humidity, thereby reducing contamination risk (different from predicate).
EmbryoScope™ (Version D) - Overall safety and effectiveness equivalent to predicate, despite design differences (e.g., integrated microscope)."The differences between the EmbryoScope™ ~ (Version D)... and the Predicate Devices do not alter the safety and effectiveness of the device."
EmbryoScope™ (Version D) - Clinical performance (ongoing pregnancy rates) comparable to standard incubators."No significant difference was found between the rates of ongoing pregnancies in a standard incubator and the EmbryoScope™ - (Version D)." "No adverse effects of image acquisition were observed."
EmbryoSlide™ (FT-S-ES-D) - Functionality, safety/sterility, and embryotoxicity equivalent to predicate labware (Nunc IVF 4-Well Dish K070047).Sterile (SAL 10-6), tested non-pyrogenic by LAL, and passed 1-cell mouse embryo test (MEA). Made of polystyrene, optically clear.
EmbryoSlide™ (FT-S-ES-D) - Embryo survival rate comparable to predicate, despite design differences (e.g., number of wells)."The embryo survival rate is shown to be comparable to the Predicate Device."
EmbryoSlide™ (FT-S-ES-D) - Overall safety and effectiveness equivalent to predicate, despite design differences (e.g., number of wells)."The differences between the ... EmbryoSlide™ and the Predicate Devices do not alter the safety and effectiveness of the device." "EmbryoSlide™ are similar, with respect to the FDA published predicate device description."

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document mentions "Clinical data showed that the EmbryoScope TM - (Version D) performs according to the intended use of the device. No significant difference was found between the rates of ongoing pregnancies in a standard incubator and the EmbryoScope™ - (Version D)."

  • Sample Size for Test Set: The exact sample size for the clinical study is not specified in the provided text.
  • Data Provenance: The provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) is not specified. It refers to "Clinical data," implying a human clinical study. Given the company's address in Denmark, it's possible the study was conducted there or in another European country. The context of a 510(k) submission to the FDA suggests the data must meet FDA's requirements for demonstrating safety and effectiveness.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications

The document does not specify the number of experts used to establish ground truth or their qualifications for the clinical study. The "ground truth" for the clinical study appears to be the "rates of ongoing pregnancies," which would typically be determined by medical professionals in an IVF setting.


4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not describe any specific adjudication method for the clinical study results. It simply states the finding of "no significant difference" in ongoing pregnancy rates.


5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs. Without AI Assistance

  • MRMC Study: No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not performed or described in the provided text.
  • Effect Size (Human Readers with/without AI): Not applicable, as this device (EmbryoScope) is an incubator and imaging system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that aids human readers in interpretation. The "imaging system" is for embryo viewing, not AI-driven analysis for human interpretation.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

  • Standalone Performance: Not applicable in the context of the primary function of these devices. The EmbryoScope™ is an incubator with an integrated imaging system for embryo viewing, and the EmbryoSlide™ is an accessory. There isn't an "algorithm" performing a diagnostic or interpretive function in a standalone capacity described in the documentation. The device's performance relates to maintaining a suitable environment for embryo development and enabling imaging, not making automated diagnoses.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

For the clinical study of the EmbryoScope™ (Version D), the type of ground truth used was outcomes data, specifically "rates of ongoing pregnancies."

For the EmbryoSlide™ (FT-S-ES-D), the ground truth for its biological compatibility was established through:

  • Sterility testing (SAL 10-6)
  • Non-pyrogenic testing by Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL)
  • Non-embryotoxic testing by the 1-cell mouse embryo assay (MEA)
  • "Embryo survival rate" comparable to the predicate device.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not mention or imply any training set, as these devices are not described as employing machine learning or AI models that would require a dedicated training set. The "testing" referred to is for device performance, safety, and clinical outcomes.


9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not applicable, as no training set is described for these devices.

Table 2: Comparison of EmbryoSlide™ to Nunc IVF 4-well Dish.

Summary of comparison to predicate devices:

The EmbryoScope™ - (Version D) and the COOK Mini-Incubator incubator are both incubators controlling the environment according to primarily gas and temperature. The devices enhance safety by continuously monitoring the critical functions. Both incubators use direct heating of the culture dish. This principle is shown to be very effective in order to control the temperature as "the direct heat transfer culture incubator has superior temperature maintenance compared to a large volume air convection incubator" in: Cooke et al., "Objective Assessments of Temperature Maintenance Using In Vitro Culture techniques". 2002, Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics, Vol 19, p. 368-375.

The EmbryoScope™ - (version D) has a build in microscope. This feature is not an option in the predicate device but the light intensity is compared to conventional light microscopes used in the IVF clinic and the data shows that it is comparable and thus safe for the embryos and in addition the embryo disturbance is minimized as the

EmbryoSlides stay in the controlled incubation environment during microscopy. The Unisense FertiliTech A/S

concept with a build-in microscope is not new but an option in workstations as " Custom products IVF Workstation" from MidAtlantic Diagnostics, Inc - K991216. It should also be noted that microscopes for use in general assisted reproductive procedures are classified as Class I exempt products under 21 CFR 884.6190. Assisted Reproductive Microscopes and Microscope Accessories).

In the EmbryoScope™ - (Version D) the oxygen range (3-20%) can be controlled. The concept of controlling Oxygen levels in incubators is not new. Ex.: The Forma Scientific Incubator - K991408) allows for the direct control of oxygen levels (2-20%).

By using an oil overlay and a dedicated slide lid increased humidity is avoided in the EmbryoScope™ – (Version D) thus reducing the contamination risk. This is different from the Predicate Device.

The EmbryoSlides™ and the Nunc IVF 4-Well Dish have similar applications, which include cell culturing and IVF. Both devices are sterile (SAL of 106), non-pyrogenic, and non-embryotoxic. They are made of the same material, polystyrene and are similar in configuration, with each well having optically clear surface. The design as such is different as each EmbryoSlide "" has 12 wells and other well dimensions, but the embryo survival rate is shown to be comparable to the Predicate Device.

Summary: The differences between the EmbryoScope™ ~ (Version D), EmbryoSlide™ and the Predicate Devices do not alter the safety and effectiveness of the device. The EmbryoScope™ - (Version D) and related accessory the EmbryoSlide "" are similar, with respect to the FDA published predicate device description.

Clinical Testing:

Clinical data showed that the EmbryoScope TM - (Version D) performs according to the intended use of the device. No significant difference was found between the rates of ongoing pregnancies in a standard incubator and the EmbryoScope™ - (Version D). No adverse effects of image acquisition were observed.
