The summary describes a physical culture dish and its intended use in conjunction with an incubator. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the presence of AI/ML.
No
The device is described as a single-use dish for culturing, handling, and preparing human embryos for transfer, which is a supportive role in assisted reproduction technology rather than a direct therapeutic intervention that treats or cures a disease or condition.
No
The device is described as an embryo culture dish used for handling and preparation, with performance studies focused on safety and biological compatibility (MEA, endotoxin, cytotoxicity). There is no mention of diagnostic functions or capabilities outlined in the provided text.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical, single-use culture dish with wells and a barcode, which is a hardware component.
Based on the provided information, the EmbryoSlide+ ic8 dish is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "culturing, handling and preparation for transfer of human embryos." This describes a device used in the process of assisted reproduction, not a device used to diagnose a condition or state.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics of the dish for holding and culturing embryos. It doesn't mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples to provide diagnostic information.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device performing any tests, measurements, or analyses on biological samples (like embryo culture medium or the embryos themselves) to provide diagnostic results.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the device's ability to support embryo development (MEA), sterility, and physical integrity. These are performance characteristics relevant to a culture device, not a diagnostic device.
- Key Metrics: The key metrics (Endotoxin, MEA, Cytotoxicity) are related to the safety and suitability of the dish for embryo culture, not diagnostic accuracy.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the purpose of diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The EmbryoSlide+ ic8 dish facilitates the process of assisted reproduction, but it doesn't perform a diagnostic function itself.

Device Description
The EmbryoSlide+ ic8 dish is single use, sterile for embryo culture, handling, and preparation for transfer during assisted reproduction technology procedures. The EmbryoSlide+ ic8 dish is equipped with barcode label area for unique identification of the culture dish, and a small area which can be used for manual writing.
The EmbryoSlide+ ic8 dish has eight culture wells. Each well holds a single embryo in 20µL of culture medium.
In addition, four rinsing wells are available, each rinsing well holding 25-30μL medium. The culture area of the dish, comprising both the culture wells, must be covered with 1.6mL culture oil overlay to minimize osmolarity changes during culture in a dry environment.

Dear Belinda Dueholm:
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 aware 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.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.

8. SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL PERFORMANCE TESTING
The following non-clinical performance testing has been conducted on the EmbryoSlide+ ic8 dish to support substantial equivalence to the predicate device:
- . Radiation sterilization and validation testing per ISO 11137-1:2006/A2013, ISO 11137-2:2013, ISO 11737-1:2018, and ISO 11737-2:2019.
- Transportation simulation testing per ASTM D4169-16
- Package integrity testing after accelerated aging per ASTM F1908-16:
- Bubble test per ASTM F2096-11 O
- Peel strength testing ASTM F88/F88M-09 O
- . Endotoxin testing per USP . The testing demonstrated that the device met the specification of ≤20 EU/device.
- Mouse embryo assay (MEA) per the 2021 FDA guidance document "Mouse Embryo
6
Assay for Assisted Reproduction Technology Devices:"
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 within 96 hours were assessed in comparison with the control group. The testing demonstrated that the device met acceptance criterion of "1-cell MEA ≥80% embryos developed to blastocyst in 96 hours."
- Shelf-life testing (accelerated aging) per ASTM F1980:2016. The following testing was . conducted:
- Endotoxin testing per USP O
- MEA per the 2021 FDA guidance document ""Mouse Embryo Assay for Assisted o Reproduction Technology Devices"
9. Conclusions
The results of the performance testing described above demonstrate that the subject media products are as safe and effective as the predicate devices and support a determination of substantial equivalence.
