Intended Use

MoFi is a liquid culture medium intended for human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications.

Device Description

MoFi is a basal medium based on Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium (IMDM) and cell-degradabe polysaccharide, made of water, carbohydrate, amino acid and salt. It can be mixed with various serums or additional additives to form a complete medium, which can be used to culture suspension/adherent primary cultured cells or cell lines. MoFi provides cells with energy to maintain survival and promote growth.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document describes the FDA 510(k) premarket notification for "MoFi" Cell Culture Basal Medium. This K-submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than providing details on a study performed by the applicant (DuoGenic StemCells Corporation) to prove performance against specific acceptance criteria for an AI/ML powered device. The document describes a biologically-based product (cell culture medium), not an AI/ML-powered medical device.

Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, AI/ML study design (sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone performance), and training set details for an AI/ML device cannot be extracted from this document as it does not pertain to such a device.

The document discusses the following performance characteristics for the MoFi Cell Culture Basal Medium:

1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance (for a cell culture medium, not an AI/ML device):

Acceptance Criteria (for MoFi Medium)Reported Device Performance (for MoFi Medium)
Appearance: Transparent yellowish liquidMet (as implied by successful testing)
pH: 7.0-8.0Met (as implied by successful testing)
Cell viability: Good cell viabilityGood cell viability of four kinds of cells (suspension primary culture cells, suspension cell lines, adherent primary culture cells, and adherent cell lines)
Sterility: Negative or not detectedNegative or not detected
Endotoxin: < 1 EU/mL< 1 EU/mL (well controlled)
Mycoplasma: Negative or not detectedNegative or not detected
Residues of plasticizers, heavy metals and particlesNot detected or can be safely ignored
Product Performance: Good cell viability and normal cell morphology of four kinds of cellsGood cell viability and normal cell morphology of four kinds of cells (suspension primary culture cells, suspension cell lines, adherent primary culture cells and adherent cell lines)

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance (for evaluating cell culture medium, not an AI/ML device):

  • The document states "All batches tested met the acceptance criteria of performance testing." It does not specify the exact number of batches or the sample size (e.g., number of cell cultures) per test.
  • Data provenance is not explicitly stated in terms of country of origin or whether it was retrospective/prospective, but it is implied to be internal testing conducted by DuoGenic StemCells Corporation for regulatory submission.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications:

  • This information is not applicable as the evaluation is for a cell culture medium's biological performance, not an AI/ML algorithm requiring expert interpretation.

4. Adjudication Method:

  • Not applicable for this type of product evaluation.

5. Multi-reader Multi-case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:

  • Not applicable as this is not an AI/ML-powered device.

6. Standalone Performance (Algorithm Only):

  • Not applicable as this is not an AI/ML algorithm.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

  • For the cell culture medium, the "ground truth" for performance is based on established biological and chemical assays, such as pH measurement, sterility testing, endotoxin detection, and direct observation of cell viability and morphology compared to established controls and the predicate device.

8. Sample Size for Training Set:

  • Not applicable as this is not an AI/ML device requiring a training set.

9. How Ground Truth for Training Set Was Established:

  • Not applicable as this is not an AI/ML device.

Dear Hong-Lin Su:

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 (the 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 available 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

{1}------------------------------------------------

Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

5. Shelf Life

According to the stability test's result, shelf life for MoFi is recommended to be 9 months.

6. Biocompatibility

The biocompatibility evaluation was conducted in accordance with the FDA Guidance "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1,"Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process.

7. Performance Testing

All batches tested met the acceptance criteria of performance testing. The residual endotoxin is well controlled. No bacteria and mycoplasma were detected. The residues of plasticizers, heavy metals and particles are not detected or can be safely ignored.

8. Conclusion

MoFi and Knockout™ SR Medium and Knockout™ SR Xenofree Medium are used for human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications and have the same/similar container, storage temperature, efficacy (generic cellular growth and maintenance) and safety (consistency in chemical content and formulation, biocompatibility with cells, and purity). Their efficacy in supporting the survival, growth, development, and maintenance of human cells or tissue culture systems has been well established in scientific publications included in this submission. These products (MoFi and Knockout™ SR Medium and Knockout™ SR Xenofiree Medium) are manufactured in accordance with QSR requirements and are labeled as aseptically processed. Thus, MoFi are substantially equivalent to the legally marketed device (K100616) intended for the human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications.
