The summary explicitly states that the software "does not perform any diagnostics, but only shows data from the EmbryoScope® time-lapse system and data entered by the user" and includes a "user-defined modeling function" which implies user-driven analysis rather than automated AI/ML algorithms. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like training/test sets for model development.
No.
The device provides an environment for embryo development and assists in viewing and selecting embryos, but it does not perform any diagnostic or therapeutic functions directly on a patient.
No
The Device Description explicitly states: "The EmbryoViewer™ software does not perform any diagnostics, but only shows data from the EmbryoScope® time-lapse system and data entered by the user." Additionally, the Intended Use Section for the EmbryoViewer states that it aids in embryo selection via displaying, comparing, storing and transferring images and user annotation functions, not diagnosis. The Embryoscope is an incubator with imaging, not a diagnostic device.
Yes
The summary describes the EmbryoViewer™ software as an "optional accessory software package" for the EmbryoScope® time-lapse incubator. It explicitly states that the software "does not control any hardware components" and "does not perform any diagnostics, but only shows data from the EmbryoScope® time-lapse system and data entered by the user." This indicates it is a software component that operates independently of the hardware's core functions and is focused on data display and user interaction, fitting the definition of a software-only medical device accessory.
Based on the provided information, the EmbryoScope® time-lapse incubator and the EmbryoViewer™ software, as described, are likely considered IVDs (In Vitro Diagnostics).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The primary purpose is to provide a controlled environment for the development of embryos in vitro (outside the body). The EmbryoViewer™ software assists in the selection of these in vitro developed embryos. This aligns with the definition of an IVD, which is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. While the device itself isn't directly diagnosing a patient's condition, it's providing crucial information about the viability and development of embryos in vitro, which is a key step in the diagnostic and treatment process of infertility.
- Device Description: The device is designed to acquire measurements and images of individual embryos during their in vitro development. The software then assists in the interpretation of this data for embryo selection. This process is directly related to assessing the quality and potential of the embryos, which is a diagnostic step in the context of assisted reproduction.
- Anatomical Site: While the device doesn't interact with a patient's body, it is working with human embryos, which are specimens derived from the human body.
- Intended User/Care Setting: The device is used by embryologists in assisted reproduction clinics, which are healthcare settings where diagnostic and treatment procedures related to infertility are performed.
However, it's important to note a nuance:
The description of the EmbryoViewer™ software explicitly states: "The EmbryoViewer™ software does not perform any diagnostics, but only shows data from the EmbryoScope® time-lapse system and data entered by the user." This statement attempts to differentiate the software from a direct diagnostic tool.
Despite this statement, the overall system (EmbryoScope® + EmbryoViewer™) is used to provide information about the embryos in vitro that directly informs the decision-making process for embryo selection, which is a critical step in the diagnostic and treatment pathway for infertility. The software's function of displaying, comparing, and allowing annotation of embryo development parameters, and even a user-defined modeling function to aid in selection, strongly suggests its role in providing information for a diagnostic purpose (assessing embryo viability).
In conclusion: While the software itself might be described as not performing "diagnostics" in a strict sense, the combined system's intended use and function in providing information about in vitro developed embryos for selection purposes aligns with the regulatory definition and intent of an In Vitro Diagnostic device. The information provided by the system is used to make decisions about which embryos are most likely to result in a successful pregnancy, which is a diagnostic assessment of the embryos' potential.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The EmbryoScope® time-lapse incubator (version D) provides an environment with controlled temperature, CO2 (and other gasses) for the development of embryos. This model has an integrated inverted microscope and imaging system for embryo viewing. Device use is limited to five days (120 hr) covering the time from post-fertilization to day 5 of development.
The EmbryoViewer™ software is an optional accessory software package for use in displaying, comparing, storing, and transferring images generated by the EmbryoScope® time-lapse incubator (Version D). The software includes a user annotation function for capturing information on embryo development parameters as well as a user-defined modeling function, which allows the user to combine annotated information on embryo development parameters to aid in embryo selection. The EmbryoViewer™ software does not control any hardware components in the EmbryoScope® time-lapse incubator (Version D).

Device Description
The EmbryoScope® time-lapse incubator is a tri-gas incubator, which acquires a series of unattended measurements on individual embryos during their development. The measurements include: time-lapse microscopy at multiple focal planes and logging of incubation conditions. Separate processing units control the incubation environment and data acquisition to ensure safe and reliable operation. Up to 72 embryos (6 EmbryoSlide® culture dishes with 12 embryos in each culture dish) can be incubated simultaneously.
The purpose of the EmbryoViewer™ software is to assist the embryologist in selecting embryos for transfer or freezing. This is obtained by allowing the embryologist to inspect high-resolution time-lapse images of embryo development, to use detailed annotation tools and to inspect the running conditions of the EmbryoScope® time-lapse system.
The EmbryoViewer™ software does not perform any diagnostics, but only shows data from the EmbryoScope® time-lapse system and data entered by the user.
The EmbryoViewer™ software provides:
- · High-resolution time-lapse images of single embryos
- Embryo annotation tools which assist the user in selecting embryos
- Option to design a set of models that can be used for scoring embryos
- Inspection of incubation details, e.g. temperature and gas conditions
- Export of data for statistical analysis
The EmbryoViewer™ software is an optional accessory package to the EmbryoScope® timelapse system. The time-lapse system provides a controlled culture environment that allows continuous monitoring and observation of up to 72 embryos at a time.
The data from the EmbryoScope® time-lapse system can be seen in the EmbryoViewer™ software. This includes embryo images, incubation details, alarms, log files and other instrument parameters. The EmbryoViewer™ software can be used to review and compare synchronized time-lapse movies of various embryos.
In addition, the EmbryoViewer™ software contains a database which enables the user to annotate time-lapse images for e.g. cleavage times, fragmentation, multinucleation, pronuclei and other characteristics used for selecting embryos for transfer. Annotations are saved in the database and can be exported to an Excel file for statistical analysis.
The EmbryoViewer™ software also enables input of patient details, treatment data and outcome data. This data is stored in the database and can be exported to an Excel file complete with annotations.
