Yes
The device is intended to aid conception for couples experiencing specific fertility challenges (low sperm count, sperm immobility, or unfavorable vaginal environment) by facilitating the delivery of semen to the cervix, which is a therapeutic intervention.
No
The device is used to assist conception by collecting and delivering semen to the cervix, it does not diagnose any medical condition.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components (cervical cap, condom-like sheath, plastic applicator, retainer, removal cord) and their physical interaction for semen collection and delivery. There is no mention of software as a component or function of the device.
Based on the provided information, the Stork® OTC is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health, such as diagnosing a disease or monitoring a condition.
- Stork® OTC Function: The Stork® OTC is a mechanical device designed to collect semen and deliver it to the cervix. It facilitates the physical process of conception by aiding sperm delivery. It does not analyze or test any biological sample to provide diagnostic information.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it is an "aid to conception" for couples with specific challenges, not a diagnostic tool to identify or measure substances in a sample.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the physical components and how they are used to collect and deliver semen. There is no mention of any analytical or testing capabilities.
Therefore, the Stork® OTC falls under the category of a medical device that assists with a physiological process, rather than an IVD device that performs diagnostic testing on biological samples.

Device Description
The Stork® OTC package includes: one Instructions for Use, one Conceptacle® and one plastic applicator. Once the couple has decided to attempt to become pregnant, the Stork® OTC Conception System Instruction for Use recommends using the device during female's most fertile days in a given month. During sexual intercourse, semen will be collected using the Conceptacle®, a cervical cap that is pre-inserted into a condom-like sheath. The male removes the Conceptacle® from the penis by rolling it down and separating it from the penis. After removal, the rim of the cervical cap is lightly pinched so that the Condom-like Sheath can be separated. (The Cervical Cap and Condom-like Sheath are separated in two separate parts). The semen is contained in the cervical cap and its reservoir. The second component, the Applicator, is used for ease of transition of the Cervical Cap to the cervix. The applicator seals the Cervical Cap and contains the semen for transition through the vaginal tract, assisting the female in guiding the cap to the cervix and releasing the semen and the cap in front of the cervix. When the cervical cap is loaded onto the applicator (while it is still outside of the body), the Retainer locks onto the Cervical Cap and is delivered with the Cervical Cap intra-vaginally. The Retainer also has a removal cord that is attached for withdrawal. The Cervical Cap and Retainer then remain in place for up to 6 hours.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
A self-selection study and labeling comprehension study were performed to demonstrate that users could determine the uses of the device, the target population for device use, and if the labeling was clear and understandable. Additionally, a simulated use study was performed to verify that users could follow instructions under simulated-use conditions. All primary endpoints were achieved in all three sections of the study: Self-selection, labeling comprehension, and simulated use.
Following successful completion of the self-selection, labeling comprehension, and simulated use study and the finalization of labeling, clinical human factors and usability testing was performed to validate the instructions for use and demonstrate the proper use placement of and the safety of the device for users. All subjects were able to use the device to collect semen, effectively position and place the Conceptacle® in the vaginal tract using the applicator, and remove the cervical cap from the vaginal tract. These steps were successfully completed without any evidence of trauma or injury to the vaginal tract or cervical os. These endpoints were verified by visual inspection and physical examination by the primary investigator.
Biocompatibility Testing was performed on the device to support the applicator color changes from the predicate device. Testing demonstrated that the Stork® OTC materials are considered non-cytotoxic, non-irritating, and non-sensitizing. Colorant safety was deemed acceptable through additional Colorant Leachables Testing and a resulting Toxicological Risk Assessment of Extractable Chemicals. Bench testing demonstrated that the pull strength of the withdrawal cord was met for all systems tested and a shelf life study was performed to verify that all components of the Stork® OTC were shown to function properly and according to their design intent following a 6 month shelf life test. The Stork® OTC Conceptacle is identical to the predicate and data from the predicate device was used for the following aspects: Human Sperm Survival Assay (HSSA) and Condom Mechanical Testing.

Figure 1: The Stork® OTC Component Diagram
Image /page/5/Figure/3 description: The image shows two diagrams, one labeled "the Applicator" and the other "the Conceptacle." The applicator diagram shows a long, slender device with several labeled parts, including "Petals (open)," "Cap Holder," "Stem," "Cap Release," "Plunger Release," and "Plunger Tab." The conceptacle diagram shows a funnel-shaped object with labels pointing to the "Cervical Cap (Inside)" and "Condom (outside)." The diagrams appear to be illustrating the components of a medical or contraceptive device.
Indication for Use Comparison
The indications for use between the predicate and proposed device differ in that the proposed device is indicated for over-the-counter use of the device rather than prescription use. The indication for use includes the same user group as the predicate, having the diagnoses of low sperm count, sperm immobility or unfavorable vaginal environment. It also includes further specification for users that have not been able to successfully conceive naturally. Further, the device labeling includes the same warnings and precautions. Studies were completed to demonstrate that the over-the-counter user population could sufficiently self-select and comprehend the labeling. The usability and safety clinical trial demonstrated that users could effectively and safely use the device without physician instruction, overview or intervention, and in accordance with the instructions for use. Therefore, the differences between the indications for use do not represent a new Intended Use. Nor do these differences present new concerns of safety and efficacy.
Performance Testing - Clinical
A self-selection study and labeling comprehension study were performed to demonstrate that users could determine the uses of the device, the target population for device use, and if the labeling was clear and understandable. Additionally, a simulated use study was performed to verify that users could follow instructions under simulated-use conditions. All primary endpoints were achieved in all three sections of the study: Self-selection, labeling comprehension, and simulated use.
Following successful completion of the self-selection, labeling comprehension, and simulated use study and the finalization of labeling, clinical human factors and usability testing was performed to validate the instructions for use and demonstrate the proper use placement of
