Intended Use
V-HYADASE is intended for the enzymatic removal of cumulus and corona radiata cells from oocytes prior to intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) procedures.
Device Description
V-HYADASE is an assisted reproduction medium intended for the enzymatic removal of cumulus and corona radiata cells from oocyte prior to Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) procedures. The medium is aseptically filtered and provided in a volume of 1 mL in pre-sterilized 2 mL polypropylene copolymer (PPCO) bottles with PPCO caps. V-HYADASE has a shelf-life of one-year when stored at 2-8°C and can be used for up to seven days after bottle opening.
More Information

No
The device is a chemical medium for enzymatic removal of cells, and the summary does not mention any computational or algorithmic components, let alone AI/ML.

No
The device is an assisted reproduction medium used to prepare oocytes for an ICSI procedure, which is a laboratory step, not a direct therapeutic intervention on a patient.

No

V-HYADASE is an assisted reproduction medium used for the enzymatic removal of cumulus and corona radiata cells from oocytes. It is a treatment medium, not a device that diagnoses a condition or disease.

No

The device is described as an "assisted reproduction medium" provided in "pre-sterilized 2 mL polypropylene copolymer (PPCO) bottles with PPCO caps." This indicates a physical substance and container, not software. The performance studies also focus on physical and chemical properties, sterility, and biological activity, not software validation.

Based on the provided information, V-HYADASE is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the enzymatic removal of cells from oocytes prior to a procedure (ICSI). This is a preparatory step for a medical procedure, not a test performed in vitro to diagnose a condition or provide information about a patient's health status.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states it is an "assisted reproduction medium" intended for a specific processing step of biological material.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze a sample, detect a substance, or provide any diagnostic information. Its function is purely enzymatic processing.

IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. V-HYADASE does not fit this description.

Summary of Performance Studies

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

  • Sterile filtration and aseptic fill validation, per ISO 13408-1:2008 Aseptic . Processing of Health Care Products – Part 1 General Requirements (including Amendment 1 (2013)) and ISO 13408- 2:2018 – Aseptic Processing of Health Care Products - Part 2 Sterilizing Filtration.
  • Shelf-life testing was conducted to support the 12-month shelf-life for the subject . device through demonstration that the product specifications (shown below) were met at time 0 and after accelerated aging in accordance with ASTM F1980-21. Testing was also included on aged samples demonstrating that medium in bottles can maintain their specifications after seven days of simulated use conditioning after bottle opening. Testing conducted is shown below:
    • Clarity/Color: Pink rose color, no precipitates O
    • pH, per USP: 7.2-7.4 O
    • Osmolality, per USP: 257-273 mOsm/kg O
    • Endotoxin, per USP : : No growth o
    • Hyaluronidase Activity: 50-120 IU/mL
  • Transportation testing per ASTM D4169-22 and USP ●

§ 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 Greg Holland:

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.
