No.
The device is a culture medium used for the in vitro development of gametes and embryos, supporting their growth outside the body rather than directly treating a disease or condition within a living organism.
No
This device is a culture medium used to support the development of human gametes and embryos in vitro, not to diagnose a medical condition.
No
The device is a culture medium, which is a physical substance used in vitro, not a software program.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it is for "use as a culture medium for human gametes and embryos from fertilization through day 5/6 of development in vitro." The term "in vitro" is a key indicator of an IVD.
- Device Description: The description details its composition and how it is used to support the growth of human gametes and embryos outside of the body.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies involve testing the medium's ability to support the development of embryos and maintain sperm motility in vitro.
While the device itself is a culture medium and not a diagnostic test in the traditional sense of detecting a disease or condition, it is used in vitro to support biological processes related to human reproduction, which falls under the scope of IVDs. It is a reagent used in an in vitro procedure (assisted reproductive technology).

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Continuous Single Culture™ Complete is assayed by one (1) -cell mouse embryo assay (MEA) prior to release to the market. This assay assures that the product is functional for its intended use, the support of embryonic growth, and that embryotoxic components are not present in the formulation.
Continuous Single Culture™ Complete is also assayed by human sperm survival assay (HSSA) was also performed prior to release to the market. This assay also assures that the product is both functional for its intended use with regards to sperm wash procedure and that no sperm-toxic components are present in the formulation.
In addition, performance testing of the product includes pH, osmolality, sterility, and endotoxin testing. These tests demonstrate quality and the consistency in each lot of Continuous Single Culture™ Complete that is manufactured. These tests also support the equivalence of the proposed device to the predicate device.
Nonclinical Tests:
One (1) -cell MEA was performed on the Continuous Single Culture™ Complete as part of the design validation. Testing was performed at three (3) different test facilities after continuous culture in Continuous Single Culture™ Complete up to 96 hours.
In addition, HSSA was also performed on donor specimens at three (3) different test facilities. The donor specimens were initially processed by gradient separation and resulting motile specimens were equally divided and the average % motility after 24 hours at 37°C in ambient air was determined as compared to the control.
The field evaluations demonstrate that the Continuous Single Culture™ Complete was "equal" to the proven control medium (predicate device) of Single Step Medium™ (K072609).
Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)

Purpose:
Purpose of this application is to obtain 510(k) marketing clearance for the Continuous Single Culture™ Complete.
Indication for Use:
Continuous Single Culture™ Complete is intended for use as a culture medium for human gametes and embryos from fertilization through day 5/6 of development in vitro.
Description of the Device:
The Continuous Single Culture™ Complete is based upon the Single Step Medium™ (K072609) formulation that is supplemented with Human Serum Albumin, H.S.A. The Continuous Single Culture™ Complete is composed of a balanced mixture of salts, amino acids and other nutrients that have been shown to support embryo development. The Continuous Single Culture™ Complete is designed to be used as a culture media for fertilization and for development of embryos until the desired developmental stage (up to 5/6 days). Selected embryos are then moved to an embryo transfer media prior to transfer to the uterus.
The Continuous Single Culture™ Complete is supplied in liquid form, and contains gentamicin sulfate as a preservative and a therapeutic grade of Human Serum Albumin (K983584). Liquid Continuous Single Culture™ Complete is supplied in a fill volume of 20 mL.
Continuous Single Culture™ Complete has utility as a culture medium from fertilization through day 5/6 of development. The fertilized oocyte (zygote) is allowed to grow in the culture dish, supported by a culture medium and an appropriate protein supplement, in a carbon dioxide incubator at 37°C until the desired stage of development is achieved. Selected embryos are then moved to an embryo transfer media prior to transfer to the uterus.
2
Continuous Single Culture™ Complete is supplied as a ready to use liquid in 20 mL bottles.
Technological Characteristics:
After allowing the fertilized zygote to develop in vitro in Continuous Single Culture™ Complete, the embryo is removed from the culture dish. It is placed into a fresh dish containing Continuous Single Culture™ Complete. The dish is then returned to the incubator, and the embryo is allowed to continue develop in vitro. If a medium change is desired for embryo culture beyond day 3, after 48 hours of embryo culture (of the fertilized embryos), the embryos should be transferred into a new dish of fresh pre-equilibrated Continuous Single Culture™ Complete. After the desired stage of development is obtained selected embryos are then moved to an embryo transfer media prior to transfer to the uterus
Continuous Single Culture™ Complete is similar to Single Step Medium™ (K072609) it is intended for use in assisted reproductive technology procedures that involve the manipulation of gametes or embryos that is supplemented with a protein such as H.S.A. (K983584),
Performance Data:
Continuous Single Culture™ Complete is assayed by one (1) -cell mouse embryo assay (MEA) prior to release to the market. This assay assures that the product is functional for its intended use, the support of embryonic growth, and that embryotoxic components are not present in the formulation..
Continuous Single Culture™ Complete is also assayed by human sperm survival assay (HSSA) was also performed prior to release to the market. This assay also assures that the product is both functional for its intended use with regards to sperm wash procedure and that no sperm-toxic components are present in the formulation.
In addition, performance testing of the product includes pH, osmolality, sterility, and endotoxin testing. These tests demonstrate quality and the consistency in
3
each lot of Continuous Single Culture™ Complete that is manufactured. These tests also support the equivalence of the proposed device to the predicate device.
Nonclinical Tests:
One (1) -cell MEA was performed on the Continuous Single Culture™ Complete as part of the design validation. Testing was performed at three (3) different test facilities after continuous culture in Continuous Single Culture™ Complete up to 96 hours.
In addition, HSSA was also performed on donor specimens at three (3) different test facilities. The donor specimens were initially processed by gradient separation and resulting motile specimens were equally divided and the average % motility after 24 hours at 37°C in ambient air was determined as compared to the control.
The field evaluations demonstrate that the Continuous Single Culture™ Complete was "equal" to the proven control medium (predicate device) of Single Step Medium™ (K072609).
Additional Information:
Endotoxin, mouse embryo assay, human sperm survival assay, albumin recovery assay, pH, osmolality, appearance and sterility testing will be performed as a condition of release for Continuous Single Culture™ Complete. Results of all release assays performed will be reported on a lot-specific certificate of analysis, and will be indicated on the labeling.
Conclusion:
The predicate device, Single Step Medium™ (K072609) needs to be supplemented with a protein prior to use and it is a common practice for media to be formulated with a protein for use in ART procedures. Therefore, the addition of HSA to the device would not raise new types of safety of effectiveness questions.
