It is ready to use after warming to 37°C and equilibration in a CO2 environment.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the acceptance criteria and the studies performed for the VitaVitro® 1-Step Culture Medium. Here's a breakdown of the requested information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

AspectAcceptance Criteria (Specification)Reported Device Performance (Summary of results from non-clinical testing)
Sterility (per USP <71>)No microbial growthMet (Implied by conclusion of substantial equivalence based on testing)
Osmolality250 – 290 mOsm/kgMet (Implied by conclusion of substantial equivalence based on testing)
pH7.2 — 7.6Met (Implied by conclusion of substantial equivalence based on testing)
Endotoxin (per USP <85>)<0.25 EU/mlMet (Implied by conclusion of substantial equivalence based on testing)
1-cell MEA≥80% developed to the blastocyst stage within 96 hoursMet (Implied by conclusion of substantial equivalence based on testing)

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Test Set Sample Size: The document does not explicitly state a specific numerical sample size for the 1-cell Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA) test set. It mentions "One-cell mouse embryos" were exposed, implying a cohort of embryos was used. Without further detail, a precise number cannot be provided.
  • Data Provenance: The study was conducted by Shenzhen VitaVitro Biotech Co., Ltd. in China. The data would therefore be prospective for this specific device.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

  • The document does not mention the use of human experts to establish ground truth for the 1-cell MEA test. The assessment of blastocyst development appears to be an objective, quantifiable biological outcome rather than a subjective interpretation requiring expert consensus.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

  • Not applicable. As noted above, the assessment for the 1-cell MEA is an objective biological outcome, not a subjective interpretation requiring adjudication.

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 is a medical device for in vitro culture media, not an AI-powered diagnostic or imaging device that would involve human readers.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

  • Not applicable. This is a medical device for in vitro culture media. Its performance is assessed through biological outcomes (embryo development), not through an algorithm's output.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

  • For the 1-cell MEA, the ground truth is an objective biological outcome: the percentage of embryos that developed to the expanded blastocyst stage within 96 hours. This is a direct measurement of embryo viability and developmental capacity in the presence of the culture medium.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • Not applicable. This device is not an AI/machine learning model, and therefore does not have a "training set" in the conventional sense. The studies described are performance verification tests.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

  • Not applicable. As noted above, there is no "training set" for this type of medical device.

As shown in the table above, the subject and predicate device have similar indications for use statements and the same intended use - the culture of embryos up to day 5/6 of development (blastocyst stage). The technological characteristics of the subject and predicate device are different - the subject device has differences in formulation and different osmolality and pH specifications. However, different types of safety and effectiveness questions are not raised by these differences in technological characteristics.

Summary of Non-Clinical Performance Testing 9.

The following studies have been performed to support substantial equivalence to the predicate device:

    • pH testing
    • Osmolality testing
    • 1-cell MEA

One-cell mouse embryos were exposed to subject devices and cultured at 37°C in an atmosphere containing 5% CO2. The percent of embryos developed to the expanded blastocyst stage at 96 hours were assessed in comparison with the control group.

    • Endotoxin per USP <85>
    • Sterility per USP <71>
    • Aseptic Processing Validation per ISO 13408-1:2008 and ISO 13408-2:2018;
  • Shelf-life testing was conducted to ensure that the specifications for the following product characteristics are met at time zero and the end of shelf-life (six months):
  • . pH testing
  • . Osmolality testing
  • . 1-cell MEA
  • . Endotoxin
  • Sterility

10. Conclusion

The subject and predicate devices have the same intended use and comparable technological characteristics. The differences in technological characteristics between the subject and predicate devices do not raise questions on safety and effectiveness. The performance data demonstrates that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate 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.
