No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics, biocompatibility, sterilization, and basic functional tests of a catheter set for embryo transfer. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing for analysis, or any data-driven decision-making components.
No.
The device is used to place IVF embryos into the uterine cavity, acting as a delivery mechanism rather than providing treatment or altering
physiological function directly.
No
Explanation: The device is described as an "Embryo Transfer Catheter Set" and its intended use is "to place in vitro fertilized (IVF) embryos into the uterine cavity." This indicates a therapeutic or procedural function rather than a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components made of polyethylene and polyurethane, including catheters of various sizes and materials like stainless steel. The performance studies also focus on physical characteristics and biological interactions, not software validation.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "place in vitro fertilized (IVF) embryos into the uterine cavity." This is a therapeutic or procedural use, not a diagnostic one. IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description: The description details a catheter system designed for physically transferring embryos. It does not describe any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical and biological compatibility of the device with embryos and the body (sterilization, biocompatibility, endotoxin, MEA testing), as well as the structural integrity and function of the catheter itself (dimensional verification, aspiration, leak, tensile, echotip tests). These are typical performance tests for a medical device used in a procedure, not for an IVD.
In summary, the device is designed for a medical procedure (embryo transfer) and not for performing diagnostic tests on biological samples.

Device Description
The Pivet and Soft-Pass Embryo Transfer Catheter Sets are a group of devices consisting of embryo transfer catheter and guide catheter or trial/mock catheter and guide catheter, as outlined in the table below.
These devices are made of polyethylene and polyurethane in a variety of sizes. The transfer catheters range in diameter from 2.8 to 4.4 Fr and range in length from 19.7 to 24.7 cm. Guide catheters measure 6.8 to 7 Fr and are 12 to 17.3 cm in length. Transfer catheters may have a supporting stainless steel cannula, depth indicators, open ends with side ports, or an echogenic band on the distal tip.
Trial/mock catheters aid in verifying access and positioning of embryo transfer catheters prior to to placing transfer catheters containing embryos into the uterine cavity. The trial/mock catheters are the same as the transfer catheters they represent, except that they have a closed end without a side port.
All of the subject devices are single-use devices and sterilized by ethylene oxide exposure. These products, except trial/mock catheters that will not contact embryos during use, undergo lot release Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA) testing for embryo toxicity and USP endotoxin (LAL) testing for pyrogenicity. The subject devices are packaged in peel-open sterile barrier pouches with a three-year shelf life.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-Clinical Performance Testing:
- Sterilization Validation testing per ISO 11135-1:2007
- Biocompatibility studies, as follows: Cytotoxicity testing per 10993-5:2009, Guinea Pig Maximization Sensitization testing per ISO 10993-10:2002 or ISO 10993-10:2010, Intracutaneous Irritation testing per ISO 10993-10:2002 or ISO 10993-10:2010
- Endotoxin testing per USP <85> and AAMI/ANSI ST72:2011/(R)2016 (<20 EU/device)
- Transportation Simulation study per ASTM D4169-05
- Package Integrity testing after real-time aging: Bubble Leak test per ASTM F2096-04, Seal Strength testing per ASTM F88-09, Visual Inspection: No package displayed damage (tears, folds, puncture holes, etc.)
- Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA) before and after aging: One-cell mouse embryos were exposed to subject devices and cultured at 37℃ in an atmosphere containing 5% CO2. The percent of embryos developed to the expanded blastocyst stage within 96 hours were assessed in comparison with the control group. The testing demonstrated that the devices met acceptance criterion of "1-cell MEA greater than or equal to 80% embryos developed to blastocyst in 96 hours."
- Bench Performance studies before and after aging demonstrated that all predetermined acceptance criteria were met in the following tests:
- Dimensional verification of catheter (Catheters are measured and verified against device input requirements.)
- Transfer Catheter Aspiration Test (Testing ensures there is no air leaking into the syringe through the transfer catheter.)
- Transfer Catheter Leak Test (Testing ensures that fluid path catheter assembly does not leak under a predetermined injection pressure.)
- Tensile Testing (Catheter Hub- shaft) (Testing demonstrates that the tensile strength value is greater than the predetermined acceptance criterion.)
- Echotip Band Test (Testing ensures that the outer diameter of the band does not impede smooth passage through the guide catheter.)
- Echotip Band Echogenicity Test (Visual comparison testing by ultrasound imaging of catheters with and without an EchoTip band verified that the band provides increased brightness.)

The subject and predicate devices have the same intended use (placing embryos into the uterine cavity) and comparable designs. There are differences in dimensions and materials between the subject and predicate devices, but these differences do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. The difference in dimensions can be addressed by bench performance testing. The differences in materials can be evaluated by biocompatibility testing and Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA) testing.
The subject devices include versions with trial/mock catheters, whereas the predicate devices do not. The inclusion of trial/mock catheters do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness as they have the same design and materials as the transfer it represents, except that it has a closed end without a side port.
