The device description and performance studies focus on the chemical composition and biological effects of a cryopreservation medium, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
This device is a preservation solution used for human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications, not for treating a disease or condition in a living organism.

No

This device is a cryogenic preservation solution for human cells used in cell culture and handling, not for diagnosing diseases or conditions. Its purpose is to maintain cell viability and quality during cryopreservation.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "liquid medium" and a "chemically defined cryogenic preservation solution," indicating it is a physical substance, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "for use in human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications." This describes a process for handling cells outside the body, not for diagnosing a condition in a patient.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by stating it's a "liquid medium intended for use in human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications" and a "chemically defined cryogenic preservation solution for human cells." This is about preserving cells, not analyzing them for diagnostic purposes.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Claims: There are no mentions of analyzing patient samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing information for diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the quality and function of the medium itself (toxicity, growth support, sterility, purity, cell viability, expansion, function) and not on its ability to diagnose a condition.
  • Predicate Devices: The predicate devices listed (AIM-V® Medium and CT-STOR medium) are also cell culture and preservation media, not diagnostic devices.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. This device's purpose is to preserve cells for future use, which is a different function.

Device Description:

PRIME-XV Freez/S DMSO-Free MD is a liquid medium intended for use in human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications.

It is a chemically defined cryogenic preservation solution for human cells for use in a professional Healthcare Facility that performs cell culture and cell handling. It has comparable post-thaw cell viability as solutions containing dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), maintains potency of stem cells throughout cryopreservation, eliminates the risk of DMSO in stem cell therapy applications, is animal componentfree, enables cell preservation at -80°C to -196°C environments and is manufactured under cGMP conditions.

Intended Use:

PRIME-XV Freez S DMSO-Free MD is for use in human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications.

Indications for Use:

Indications for use are the same as the intended use.

Technological Characteristics:

PRIME-XV FreezIS DMSO-Free MD was developed in 2014 and is a serum-free medium with a defined formulation. PRIME-XV FreezIS DMSO-Free MD, and predicates AIM-V® and CT-STOR, are for use in human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications. They are chemically defined tissue culture media used to support the growth or maintenance of human tissue or cells in culture.

AIM-V® is a cell culture medium that is used for expansion of cells. PRIME-XV FreezIS DMSO-Free MD and CT-STOR support cells for ex vivo preservation, in the case of PRIME-XV Freez!S DMSO-Free MD, preservation is cryogenic.

PRIME-XV FreezIS DMSO-Free MD, AIM-V® and CT-STOR are formulated based on cell requirements for amnio acids, salts, and other components required for ex vivo maintenance of cells and tissues.

AIM-V® is supplemented with human serum albumin, which is known to be fractionated from plasma still bound to many components that are important for cell growth and maintenance. PRIME-XV Freez!S DMSO-Free MD is chemically defined and human- and animal-derived component free and does not include human serum albumin. Therefore, it also contains in the formulation components that are needed for cell growth and maintenance that would normally be provided by the addition of human serum albumin.

PRIME-XV FreezIS DMSO-Free MD contains a cryoprotectant (CPA) to preserve cells under cryogenic storage. The CPA acts to protect the cells from osmotic changes or ice crystal formation. Common CPA dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a small molecule penetrating CPA that acts by entering the cell and preserving it by reducing ice crystal formation during freeing and by regulating salt concentration. However, DMSO has been shown to have some negative effects such as inducing epigenetic changes in cells [Murray & Gibson, 2022, Nature Reviews Chemistry 6, 579-593]. Therefore, PRIME-XV Freez!S DMSO-

6

Free MD was developed with a proprietary CPA as an alternative to DMSO, but that has comparable performance.

The specifications for PRIME-XV FreezlS DMSO-Free MD are substantially equivalent to AIM-V® including pH, osmolality and storage temperature.

A comparison of device technology between PRIME-XV FreezlS DMSO-Free MD and AIM-V® is listed in the table below.

Based on analysis of product performance over time, a 24-month shelf life has been established for PRIME-XV Freez!S DMSO-Free MD when stored at 2 – 8 °C. Stability testing involved the assessment of functional aspects of the media to demonstrate that pH and osmolality were maintained, demonstrating that the media was not chemically altered during storage, and that the media was not cytotoxic and continued to maintain cells at high viability and to support cell expansion post-thaw. In addition, pyrogen and sterility testing confirmed that the container/closure provided protection against microbial contamination during storage.

Conclusions

PRIME-XV FreezIS DMSO-Free MD, AIM-V® and CT-STOR are used for human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications and have substantially the same technological characteristics, efficacy (generic cell growth and maintenance; post-cryopreservation cell growth is substantially equivalent to AIM-V®) and safety (consistency in chemical content and formulation, biocompatibility with cells, and purity). The efficacy of PRIME-XV FreezIS DMSO-Free MD in supporting the survival, growth, development and/or maintenance of human cells or tissue culture systems has been well established in data and scientific publication included in this submission. PRIME-XV FreezIS DMSO-Free MD, AIM-V® and CT-STOR are manufactured in accordance with QSR requirements and are labeled as aseptically processed. Thus PRIME-XV FreezIS DMSO-Free MD is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices
