More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on an immunochromatographic test and does not mention any computational analysis, image processing, or AI/ML terms.

No
The device is a qualitative test used to aid in the determination of a man's fertility status by detecting sperm concentration, not to treat or cure a condition.

Yes
The device is intended for use as an aid in the determination of a man's fertility status, which is a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "immunochromatographic test," which is a physical test kit, not a software-only device.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "For in vitro, over the counter home use." This indicates the test is performed outside of the body on a sample (sperm).
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's an "immunochromatographic test for the rapid, qualitative detection of sperm concentration." This is a common type of in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Nature of the Test: The test analyzes a biological sample (sperm) to provide information about a physiological state (fertility status). This is the core function of an IVD.

§ 864.5220 Automated differential cell counter.

(a)
Identification. An automated differential cell counter is a device used to identify one or more of the formed elements of the blood. The device may also have the capability to flag, count, or classify immature or abnormal hematopoietic cells of the blood, bone marrow, or other body fluids. These devices may combine an electronic particle counting method, optical method, or a flow cytometric method utilizing monoclonal CD (cluster designation) markers. The device includes accessory CD markers.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Premarket Notifications for Automated Differential Cell Counters for Immature or Abnormal Blood Cells; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA.”

6. Intended Use:

Sperm Check® Fertility is a qualitative test that detects sperm concentration at or above 20,000,000 sperm/mL. The test is intended for use as an aid in the determination of a man's fertility status. For in vitro, over the counter home use.

    1. Substantial Equivalence:
      SpermCheck® Fertility is substantially equivalent to the standard microscopic analysis (counting by Hemacytometer) based on WHO guidelines in its performance. The principles of action for the assay are substantially equivalent to K073039, SpermCheck® Vasectorny Test by Princeton BioMeditech Corp. and K041039, Fertell Male Fertility Test by Genosis Ltd. All three tests are Chromatographic Immunoassays to detect sperm concentration qualitatively. SpermCheck Fertility is also substantially equivalent to FertilMARQ™ Home Diagnostic Screening Test for Male Infertility by Embryotech Laboratories, Inc., K011679, in detecting sperm by a colorimetric assay to determine subfertile sperm concentrations qualitatively.

Dear Dr. Kim:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of May 4, 2010.

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. Iisting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into class II (Special Controls), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); medical device reporting of

medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820). This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809), please contact the Office of In Vitro Diagnostic Device Evaluation and Safety at (301) 796-5450. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.
