Sydney IVF Embryo Biopsy Medium is intended for use in assisted reproduction technologies to facilitate the aspiration of blastomeres for pre-implantation genetic diagnosis.
Sydney IVF Embryo Biopsy Medium is bicarbonate based, free of calcium and magnesium to facilitate the aspiration of blastomeres for pre-implantation genetic diagnosis of the embryo. Embryos are placed in this medium for approximately five minutes to break down gap junctions between blastomeres. One or two blastomeres are removed, and the embryo is then returned to Cleavage Medium or Blastocyst Medium for further culture.
Sydney IVF Embryo Biopsy Medium contains Human Serum Albumin (5 mg/mL) and Gentamicin (0.01 mg/mL). The device is available as a 20 mL fill only.
The Sydney IVF Embryo Biopsy Medium is provided in glass vials with Fluorotec® coated rubber stoppers held in place with a tamper evident seal. These products are single use, sterile (aseptic filtration) devices.
Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and study for the Sydney IVF Embryo Biopsy Medium, incorporating the requested information where available:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document primarily focuses on the comparison to a predicate device and stability studies. Specific, quantified acceptance criteria for clinical performance are not explicitly stated in a typical format (e.g., sensitivity, specificity). Instead, the performance is demonstrated through meeting established specifications and validating shelf-life.
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Criteria (from predicate comparison) | Reported Device Performance (Sydney IVF Embryo Biopsy Medium) |
|---|---|---|
| Formulation & Composition | Similar chemical formulation to predicate | Same as predicate |
| Osmolality | 285-295 mOsm/kg | 285-295 mOsm/kg (met via stability testing) |
| Endotoxin Content |
§ 884.6180 Reproductive media and supplements.
(a)
Identification. Reproductive media and supplement are products that are used for assisted reproduction procedures. Media include liquid and powder versions of various substances that come in direct physical contact with human gametes or embryos (including water, acid solutions used to treat gametes or embryos, rinsing solutions, sperm separation media, supplements, or oil used to cover the media) for the purposes of preparation, maintenance, transfer or storage. Supplements are specific reagents added to media to enhance specific properties of the media (e.g., proteins, sera, antibiotics, etc.).(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls) (mouse embryo assay information, endotoxin testing, sterilization validation, design specifications, labeling requirements, biocompatibility testing, and clinical testing). The device, when it is phosphate-buffered saline used for washing, and short-term handling and manipulation of gametes and embryos; culture oil used as an overlay for culture media containing gametes and embryos; and water for assisted reproduction applications, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 884.9.
