(126 days)
EmbryoGen® is for culture of human embryos until the 2-8 cell stage. EmbryoGen® can also be used for embryo transfer at day 2 or 3.
EmbryoGen® (1204) is a modification of EmbryoGen® (1203) (K120136), where the base medium has been changed from EmbryoAssist® (K080473) to the new ORIGIO Sequential Cleav™ (K133912) medium. EmbryoGen® (1204) contains GM-CSF (Granulocyte macrophage- colony stimulating factor), in the same concentration as EmbryoGen® (1203). EmbryoGen® (1204) is an aseptically filtered, colorless, non viscous solution, which is ready to use by professionals within assisted reproduction. EmbryoGen® (1204) is contained in 3 ml transparent glass bottles with white polypropylene caps, available in a single piece card board box, individually labeled and with instruction for use provided as a package insert.
The provided document is a 510(k) Summary for a medical device called EmbryoGen® (Cat. No. 1204). This device is a reproductive culture medium used for human embryos. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, EmbryoGen® (Cat. No. 1203).
The 510(k) summary does not contain acceptance criteria or details of a study designed to prove the device meets specific performance acceptance criteria in the typical sense of a clinical trial for diagnostic or interventional devices with quantifiable outcomes like sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, etc.
Instead, the submission for EmbryoGen® (1204) relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device (EmbryoGen® (1203)). This means the "acceptance criteria" are effectively the characteristics and performance of the predicate device. The "study" proving the device meets these criteria is a comparison of technological characteristics and performance data between the new device and the predicate device, as well as another cleared device (ORIGIO® Sequential Cleav™).
Here's an breakdown based on the provided text, addressing your questions where possible:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
Since this is a submission for substantial equivalence of a culture medium, the "acceptance criteria" are the established specifications and comparable performance parameters of the predicate device and other similar cleared devices. The "reported device performance" are the specifications of the new device.
| Acceptance Criteria (Predicate/Cleared Device Specs) | Reported Device Performance (EmbryoGen® (1204)) |
|---|---|
| Indication for use: Culture of human embryos until 2-8 cell stage; embryo transfer day 2 or 3 | Indication for use: Culture of human embryos until the 2-8 cell stage; embryo transfer at day 2 or 3. (Narrowed from predicate which included fertilization) |
| pH: 7.3-7.5 (EmbryoGen® (1203)); identical to ORIGIO® Sequential Cleav™ | pH: 7.2-7.4 (A little lower than predicate, but identical to ORIGIO® Sequential Cleav™) |
| Osmolality (mOsm/kg): 272-288 | Osmolality (mOsm/kg): 272-288 |
| Endotoxin (EU/mL): <0.15 | Endotoxin (EU/mL): <0.15 |
| Aseptically filtered: X | Aseptically filtered: X |
| 1-cell MEA: ≥80% | 1-cell MEA: ≥80% |
| GM-CSF ELISA test: >80% | GM-CSF ELISA test: >80% |
| GM-CFS potency (TF-1 cell assay): 80-125% | GM-CFS potency (TF-1 cell assay): 80-125% |
| Protein source: HSA Protein Supplementation 2 mg/mL (EmbryoGen® (1203)); 5 mg/mL (ORIGIO® Sequential Cleav™) | Protein source: HSA Protein Supplementation 5 mg/mL |
| Drugs: Gentamicin sulphate 0.01 mg/mL | Drugs: Gentamicin sulphate 0.01 mg/mL |
| Recombinant human GM-CSF: 2 ng/mL | Recombinant human GM-CSF: 2 ng/mL |
| Base Medium: Similar components as ORIGIO® Sequential Cleav™ (e.g., 21 amino acids, Na Hyaluronate, no SSR) | Base Medium: Identical to ORIGIO® Sequential Cleav™ (e.g., 21 amino acids, Na Hyaluronate, no SSR) |
| Biocompatibility: Pass cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation tests (ISO 10993-1:2009) | Biocompatibility: Passed cytotoxicity, sensitization, and irritation tests |
| Shelf life: 26 weeks for predicate | Shelf life: Validated to 26 weeks |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
The document does not specify a "test set" sample size for a typical clinical performance study. The "performance data" section primarily discusses laboratory tests and stability studies, which would involve samples of the culture medium itself, not biological samples from human patients in a clinical trial.
- 1-cell MEA (Mouse Embryo Assay): This is a biological assay using mouse embryos. The document states a performance criterion (≥80%) but does not specify the sample size (e.g., number of mouse embryos, number of batches tested) used to demonstrate this for EmbryoGen® (1204).
- Stability studies: These tests involved multiple batches of the product over time. The sample size (number of batches) is not explicitly stated.
- Data Provenance: Not specified as a clinical trial. The manufacturing company, ORIGIO a/s, is based in Denmark.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
This is not applicable to this type of device submission. There is no concept of "ground truth" established by human experts in the context of this culture medium's substantial equivalence demonstration. The "ground truth" is essentially the established specifications and safety profile of the predicate device and the general scientific understanding of IVF media components.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. There is no clinical read by human readers that would require an adjudication method.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
Not applicable. This device is a culture medium, not an AI-powered diagnostic or decision support system that would involve human readers or AI assistance.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This device is a culture medium, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The "ground truth" in this context is based on:
- Established scientific understanding and regulatory requirements for reproductive media.
- Performance specifications of the predicate device (EmbryoGen® (1203)) and another cleared device (ORIGIO® Sequential Cleav™).
- Standardized laboratory tests for pH, osmolality, endotoxin, specific protein concentrations, and biological assays like MEA (Mouse Embryo Assay), GM-CSF ELISA, and GM-CSF potency (TF-1 cell assay).
- Biocompatibility testing (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation) against ISO 10993-1:2009 standards.
There is no "expert consensus" or "pathology" in the sense of interpreting images or clinical findings.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This device is a culture medium, not an AI/machine learning model that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable. As stated above, this device does not involve a training set.

EmbryoGen® (Cat. No. 1203) (K120136)
Description
EmbryoGen® (1204) is a modification of EmbryoGen® (1203) (K120136), where the base medium has been changed from EmbryoAssist® (K080473) to the new ORIGIO Sequential Cleav™ (K133912) medium. EmbryoGen® (1204) contains GM-CSF (Granulocyte macrophage- colony stimulating factor), in the same concentration as EmbryoGen® (1203).
EmbryoGen® (1204) is an aseptically filtered, colorless, non viscous solution, which is ready to use by professionals within assisted reproduction. EmbryoGen® (1204) is contained in 3 ml transparent glass bottles with white polypropylene caps, available in a single piece card board box, individually labeled and with instruction for use provided as a package insert. )
Indication for use
EmbryoGen® is for culture of human embryos until the 2-8 cell stage. EmbryoGen® can also be used for embryo transfer at day 2 or 3.
{1}------------------------------------------------
The indication for use for EmbryoGen® (1204) has been narrowed and does not include fertilization as EmbryoGen (1203). The indication for EmbryoGen® (1204) is considered comparable to the predicate since both media are for culture until 2-8 cell stage including human embryo transfer. Thus the reduction in indication does not represent a new intended use nor does it pose any safety or effectiveness issues.
Technological Characteristics
Table 1 compares the technological characteristics of EmbryoGen® (1204) to the predicate EmbryoGen® (1203). Both similarities and differences are illustrated.

{2}------------------------------------------------
Insulin is a component in SSR
The technological characteristics of EmbryoGen® (1204) are comparable to those of the predicate device. The differences are all in the base medium which is identical to the cleared ORIGIO® Sequential Cleav™ (K1333912) with the same intended use as EmbryoGen (1204). The main differences between EmbryoGen (1204) and EmbryoGen (1203) are:
- Synthetic Serum Replacement (SSR %: SSR has been removed in EmbryoGen (1204), . SSR is a metal ion buffer primarily containing a balanced mixture of trace elements and human recombinant insulin . The majority of the commercially available ART media do not contain SSR or similar components. Moreover, as EmbryoGen (1204) is identical in formulation to the cleared ORIGIO Sequential Cleav (K1333912) which also does not contain SSR, it does not represent a new technology.
- EDTA: The concentration of EDTA is decreased compared to EmbryoGen® (1203) but is . identical to the EDTA concentration in ORIGIO® Sequential Cleav™(K1333912). A decreased EDTA concentration in EmbryoGen® (1204) therefore do not represent a new technology
- Human Serum Albumin (HSA): EmbryoGen® (1204) contains 5 mg/mL HSA compared to 2 . mg/mL HSA in EmbryoGen® (1203). The majority of commercially available culture media with the same intended use including ORIGIO® Sequential Cleav™ (K1333912) contain 5 mg/mL HSA and thus, do not represent a new technology.
- Amino Acids: EmbryoGen® (1204) contains 21 amino acids (both non-essential and . essential amino acids), whereas EmbryoGen® (1203) contains 11 non-essential amino acids only. EmbryoGen® (1204) are equivalent to the cleared ORIGIO® Sequential Cleav™(K1333912) in regards of the different amino acids as well as concentration and thus, do not represent a new technology.
- Vitamins: EmbryoGen® (1204) contains the vitamins folic acid and calcium pantothenate in similar concentration range as predicate and other cleared ART media (ORIGIO® Sequential Cleav™ (K1333912)). Thus, folic acid and calcium pantothenate have a history of use in other ART media and do not represent a new technology
- Sodium hyaluronate: EmbryoGen® (1204) contains sodium hyaluronate whereas . EmbryoGen 91203) does not. The concentration of sodium hyaluronate is 0.05 g/l which is in the range found in other commercial IVF media with the same intended use( ORIGIO® Sequential Cleav™ (K1333912)).
The technological characteristics of EmbryoGen® (1204) are comparable to the predicate device. do not impact substantial equivalence, and do not raise new types of safety or effectiveness questions.
Performance data
The product specifications for EmbryoGen® (1204) and EmbryoGen® (1203) are similar regarding sterility, endotoxin, osmolality, GM-CSF ELISA test, GM-CSF potency (TF-1 cell assay) and Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA) test.
Regarding the pH, the specification limit is a little lower for EmbryoGen® (1204) than EmbryGen® (1203). However, the specification for EmbryoGen® (1204) is identical to the pH specification for ORIGIO® Sequential Cleav™ (K1333912) with the identical indication for use for culture of human
{3}------------------------------------------------
embryos until 2-8 cell stage and embryo transfer. Thus, the pH specification for EmbryoGen® (1204) does not raise any safety concerns.
The shelf life of EmbryoGen® has been validated in stability studies to 26 weeks. The parameters which have been tested in the stability studies through shelf life includes pH, osmolality, endotoxin, · HSA concentration, MEA, GM-CSF ELISA, GM-CSF potency (TF-1 Cell assay) and sterility.
In general, EmbryoGen® (1204) medium is subject to the same control methods and, to a significant degree, contain the same components as the predicate device EmbryoGen® (1203). EmbryoGen® (1204) has similar handling procedures and storage conditions. Therefore, EmbryoGen® (1204) is considered substantially equivalent to the predicate device EmbryoGen® (1203) (K133912).
Biocompatibility
EmbryoGen® (1204) is categorized as a medium in direct contact with embryos until 2-8 cell stage. Since EmbryoGen® (1204) can also be used for human embryo transfer, it is also in direct contact with the uterus (patient). Biocompatibility testing was conducted on EmbryoGen® per ISO 10993-1:2009 and included assessments of cytotoxicity, sensitization, and irritation. Results of these studies demonstrated that EmbryoGen® materials were biocompatible. EmbryoGen® (1204) is therefore considered safe for culture of human embryos as well as transfer of embryos to the patient (uterus).
Conclusion
The conclusion from the performance and safety data, intended use comparison, product formulation comparison and test specification comparison, demonstrates that EmbryoGen® (1204) is suitable for its intended use, and that the technological characteristics are substantially equivalent to the predicate device EmbryoGen® (1203) in which substantial equivalence has been demonstrated.
