No
The provided text describes cryopreservation and thawing media for human blastocysts and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices.

No
The device provides media for cryopreservation and thawing of human blastocysts, which are processes for preservation and recovery, not for treating a disease or condition.

No
The device descriptions indicate that the products are media for the cryopreservation, thawing, and recovery of human blastocysts. These are used for preservation, not for diagnosing a condition or disease.

No

The 510(k) summary describes a "Kit" containing "Media" intended for cryopreservation and thawing of human blastocysts. This clearly indicates a physical product (media and potentially other kit components) and not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, the devices described are IVDs (In Vitro Diagnostics).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the media are for the cryopreservation, thawing, and recovery of human blastocysts. This process is performed in vitro (outside the human body) and is directly related to diagnostic or therapeutic procedures involving human reproductive cells.
  • Nature of the Device: The devices are described as "Media," which are substances used to support the life and growth of cells or tissues in a laboratory setting. This is a common characteristic of IVD products used in procedures like assisted reproductive technology (ART).

While the document lacks information on device description, image processing, AI, etc., the core intended use and the nature of the product as media for handling human blastocysts strongly indicate that these are IVD devices.

§ 884.6180 Reproductive media and supplements.

(a)
Identification. Reproductive media and supplement are products that are used for assisted reproduction procedures. Media include liquid and powder versions of various substances that come in direct physical contact with human gametes or embryos (including water, acid solutions used to treat gametes or embryos, rinsing solutions, sperm separation media, supplements, or oil used to cover the media) for the purposes of preparation, maintenance, transfer or storage. Supplements are specific reagents added to media to enhance specific properties of the media (e.g., proteins, sera, antibiotics, etc.).(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls) (mouse embryo assay information, endotoxin testing, sterilization validation, design specifications, labeling requirements, biocompatibility testing, and clinical testing). The device, when it is phosphate-buffered saline used for washing, and short-term handling and manipulation of gametes and embryos; culture oil used as an overlay for culture media containing gametes and embryos; and water for assisted reproduction applications, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 884.9.

Dear Mr. Cecchi:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
