Intended Use

Vit Kit - Freeze NX (Vitrification Freeze Kit) is intended for use in the vitrification of oocytes (MI) and pronuclear (PN) zygotes through day 3 cleavage stage embryos and blastocyst stage embryos.

Vit Kit - Warm NX (Vitrification Warm Kit) is intended for use in the thawing of vitrified occytes (MII) and pronuclear (PN) zygotes through day 3 cleavage stage embryos and blastocyst stage embryos.

Device Description

The five media products that comprise the two kits, Vit Kit - Freeze NX and Vit Kit -Warm NX, consist of a basal media of Continuous Single Culture Medium (CSCM) which utilizes MOPS, HEPES and sodium bicarbonate buffers, 20% (v/v) DSS, 10μg/mL gentamicin and varying levels of cryoprotectants, including dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), trehalose, and ethylene glycol (EG).

The two freeze media in the Vit Kit – Freeze NX are intended to be used sequentially for the preparation and cryopreservation of oocytes (MII) and pronuclear (PN) zygotes through day 3 cleavage stage embryos and blastocyst stage embryos.

The three media in the Vit Kit - Warm NX are intended for sequential use in the thawing and recovery of cryopreserved oocytes (MII) and pronuclear (PN) zygotes through day 3 cleavage stage embryos and blastocyst stage embryos.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for Vit Kit - Freeze NX and Vit Kit - Warm NX, which are reproductive media for vitrification (freezing) and thawing of oocytes and embryos.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria are implicitly defined by the non-clinical performance data and the comparison to the predicate device. The document states that "The subject device passed the predefined acceptance criteria for these tests," confirming that the reported device performance met these criteria.

CharacteristicAcceptance Criteria (from Predicate/Similar as per Table 1)Reported Device Performance (Implicitly Meets Criteria)
Endotoxin≤ 0.6 EU/mLMet (Passed predefined acceptance criteria)
MEA (Mouse Embryo Assay)≥ 80% expanded blastocyst after 96 hours in cultureMet (Passed predefined acceptance criteria)
pHES: 7.05 - 7.44 VS: 7.05 - 7.44 TS: 7.05 - 7.45 DS: 7.05-7.45 WS: 7.05 - 7.45Met (Passed predefined acceptance criteria)
Osmolality (mOsm/KgH2O)ES: 1,150 - 1,1550 VS: 1,220-1,620 TS: 1,550-1,900 DS: 830-930 WS: 265-300Met (Passed predefined acceptance criteria)
AppearanceNot explicitly defined, but assumed to be visually acceptable/clearMet (Passed predefined acceptance criteria)
SterilityAssumed to meet USP <71> requirementsMet (Passed predefined acceptance criteria)

Note: The document only states "The subject device passed the predefined acceptance criteria for these tests" without providing specific numerical results for each test for the subject device. The table above uses the predicate's specifications or general qualitative criteria as a proxy for the acceptance criteria, which the subject device is stated to have met.

2. Sample Sized Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Sample Size: The document does not specify the exact sample sizes used for each non-clinical test (e.g., number of vials tested for pH, number of embryos for MEA).
  • Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin. The study appears to be a lab-based non-clinical performance evaluation, not involving human subjects or patient data. It is a non-clinical performance data study, retrospectively conducted for the 510(k) submission.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of those Experts

This information is not applicable to this type of device and study. This 510(k) pertains to reproductive media, not an AI or imaging device requiring expert interpretation of results to establish ground truth. The "ground truth" for media performance is established through standardized laboratory assays (pH, osmolality, endotoxin, sterility, mouse embryo assay).

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not applicable as the tests are objective, laboratory-based measurements, not subjective human interpretations requiring adjudication.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done

No, an MRMC study was not done. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic devices where human readers interpret medical images or data, often with and without AI assistance. This 510(k) is for IVF media, which does not involve human reader interpretation in its intended use or performance evaluation.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Study was done

No, a standalone algorithm performance study was not done. This concept is specific to AI/machine learning devices where the algorithm's performance is evaluated independently. This product is a biological medium, not an algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for the performance evaluations was established through objective laboratory measurements and standardized biological assays:

  • Chemical assays (pH, Osmolality)
  • Microbiological assays (Endotoxin, Sterility)
  • Biological assays (Mouse Embryo Assay - MEA)

These are empirical measurements against predefined quality control specifications, rather than expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data in the clinical sense.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device that requires a "training set." The device is a manufactured chemical product.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established

This information is not applicable given that the device is not an AI/machine learning product and does not have a "training set."

As shown in the table above, the intended use of the subject and predicate device is the same. The technological characteristics of the subject and predicate device are different - the subject device formulation utilizes trehalose instead of sucrose, has a different basal medium formulation, and different osmolality and pH specifications. However, different types of safety and effectiveness questions are not raised by these differences in technological characteristics.

Non-clinical Performance Data:

Vit Kit - Freeze NX and Vit Kit - Warm NX media were tested for the following performance characteristics at baseline and following accelerated aging (per ASTM F1980-16):

  • . Appearance
  • . pH (per USP <791>)
  • Osmolality (per USP <785>) .
  • Endotoxin (per USP <85>) .
  • . Sterility (per USP <71>)
  • . Mouse Embryo Assay

The following additional assessments were performed on the subject device:

  • Simulated Distribution and Handling per ASTM D4169-16 .
    The subject device passed the predefined acceptance criteria for these tests.

VIII. Conclusion:

The results of the testing described above provide demonstrate that the subject device is as safe and effective as the predicate device and supports and determination of substantial equivalence.

§ 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.
