Intended Use
Cumulus Remover is for the removal of the cumulus complex and corona radiata surrounding the oocyte in preparation for ICSI.
Device Description
Cumulus Remover is an enzyme solution containing recombinant human hyaluronidase that digests hyaluronic acid that binds the cumulus and corona cells surrounding oocytes together. This function of hyaluronidase can be used for denuding cumulus and coronal cells from oocytes prior to performing Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) fertilization procedures. Cumulus Remover is provided in a polypropylene vial (package size 0.5 mL), and five vials are packaged together in a box. This product is aseptically processed and has a shelf-life of six months when stored at 2-8°C. Cumulus Remover is tested for pH, osmolality, endotoxin, sterility, embryotoxicity, and hyaluronidase activity before lot release.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the enzymatic activity and chemical properties of a solution, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No

The device is an enzyme solution used to remove cells surrounding an oocyte in preparation for ICSI, which is a preparatory step for a procedure rather than a treatment for a disease or condition itself.

No
The device is an enzyme solution used to remove the cumulus complex and corona radiata from oocytes in preparation for ICSI. It is a tool for a medical procedure, not a diagnostic device that identifies or characterizes a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is an enzyme solution provided in a polypropylene vial, indicating it is a physical product (a reagent) and not software.

Based on the provided information, it is highly likely that this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic). Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "for the removal of the cumulus complex and corona radiata surrounding the oocyte in preparation for ICSI." ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is a laboratory procedure performed in vitro (outside the body) to assist with fertilization. The device is used to prepare a biological sample (the oocyte) for this in vitro procedure.
  • Device Description: The device is an "enzyme solution containing recombinant human hyaluronidase" that acts on the oocyte in vitro.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described, such as pH testing, osmolality, sterility, endotoxin testing, mouse embryo assay (MEA), and hyaluronidase activity, are all tests performed on the product itself or its effect on biological material in vitro. The MEA specifically assesses the product's impact on embryo development in vitro.
  • Predicate Device: The predicate device listed, "ICSI Cumulase (K081639)," is also a product used in in vitro fertilization procedures.

While the document doesn't explicitly state "In Vitro Diagnostic," the intended use, device description, and the nature of the performance testing strongly indicate that this product is designed to be used in vitro for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes related to human biological samples (oocytes).

Therefore, it fits the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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.

Dear Audrey Swearingen:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be avare that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

8. Substantial Equivalence Discussion

The subject and predicate devices have the same indications for use/intended use; however, there are differences in technological characteristics. Although the subject and predicate devices possess different ranges of hyaluronidase activity, the activity range of the subject device falls within the activity range of the predicate and both devices have the same average hyaluronidase activity (80 units/ml). Regarding formulation, the subject and predicate devices have the same or comparable salts, energy substance, and buffering agents. The subject device is different from the predicate device in that it contains gentamicin and dextran. These differences in formulation do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. In addition, the pH and osmolality values for the predicate device are not known; however, differences in pH and osmolality are common in assisted reproduction media products and do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. Also, the subject device pH and osmolality ranges are comparable to other assisted reproduction media products.
