Intended Use

Dewin Gamete Buffer is intended for human gamete and embryo short-term handling procedures outside the incubator, including washing and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

Dewin Follicle Flushing Solution is intended for use during ovarian follicle flushing and oocyte collection procedures for use in in vitro fertilization procedures.

Dewin One Step Medium is intended for use for culture of embryos from fertilization to the blastocyst stage. This device can be used for transfer of embryos to the uterus.

Device Description

The DonneVie Dewin Reproductive Media are solutions used in assisted reproductive procedures. The family of Reproductive Media include the following 3 types and their variants:

  • Dewin Gamete Buffer [with and without Human Serum Albumin (HSA)];
  • Dewin Follicle Flushing Solution;
  • Dewin One Step Medium [with and without HSA].

All variants contain gentamicin, an antibiotic agent that suppresses bacterial growth. The Gamete Buffer and Follicle Flushing media are offered in 100mL volume, while the One Step Medium is offered in volumes of 25mL and 50mL. The three Dewin Reproductive Media are used together during an assisted reproductive procedure. The Follicle Flushing Solution is used to first flush/wash the Cumulus-Oocyte Complex after it's removed from the ovary; it is then transferred to the Gamete Buffer for cleaning. After the prepared oocyte has been fertilized, it is transferred to the One Step Medium to culture the embryo from fertilization to blastocyst stage.

The primary glass bottle containers are washed, then sterilized and depyrogenated via dry heat. The bottle caps are supplied sterile by electron beam irradiation. The media are sterile filtered through a 0.2µm filter in an aseptic isolator at DonneVie Medical Technology Co., Ltd.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance

The document does not specify the exact sample sizes for most of the non-clinical tests conducted. For example, it doesn't state how many batches were tested for sterility, pH, osmolality, or endotoxin, nor does it specify the number of mouse embryos used in the MEA tests.

  • Provenance: The studies were conducted by DonneVie Medical Technology (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. This implies the data provenance is likely from China, as that is the submitter's location. The studies are non-clinical, meaning they are laboratory tests, not human trials. They are implicitly prospective in the sense that they were designed and executed to test the device's performance against predefined criteria.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts

This section is not applicable as the studies described are non-clinical laboratory tests, not studies requiring expert interpretation of medical images or patient outcomes. The "ground truth" for these tests (e.g., pH value, osmolality, microorganism presence, blastocyst development) is established through established laboratory methods and validated instrumentation, not by expert consensus in a clinical diagnostic context.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This section is not applicable. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are typically used in clinical studies, particularly in cases where human readers or diagnosticians are involved and their interpretations need to be reconciled to establish a ground truth. For laboratory tests, the results are typically quantitative or qualitative outcomes determined by a predefined method, eliminating the need for expert adjudication in this typical sense.

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

This section is not applicable. The device is a "Reproductive Media," which are solutions used in assisted reproductive procedures (e.g., for washing gametes, culturing embryos). It is not an AI-powered diagnostic device or an imaging system. Therefore, no MRMC study involving human readers or AI assistance would be relevant or conducted for this type of product.

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

This section is not applicable. The device is a reproductive media solution, not an algorithm or an AI system. Its performance is evaluated through physical, chemical, and biological laboratory tests, not through algorithmic output.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for the non-clinical tests is established through:

  • Physicochemical Measurements: For parameters like pH, osmolality, and endotoxin, the ground truth is the numerical value obtained using validated analytical instruments and methods (e.g., pH meter, osmometer, LAL assay).
  • Biological Endpoints: For the Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA), the ground truth is the observed development of mouse embryos to the expanded blastocyst stage within a specified timeframe, as assessed under a microscope by trained personnel following a standardized protocol.
  • Microbiological Endpoints: For sterility testing, the ground truth is the absence of microbial growth in culture, determined by standard microbiological techniques.
  • Regulatory Standards: Compliance with ISO standards for sterilization, biocompatibility, and transportation testing.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This section is not applicable. The Dewin Reproductive Media is a chemical/biological product, not a machine learning model or AI system that requires a "training set." The product's formulation and manufacturing processes are developed through research and development, not by training an algorithm on a dataset.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established

This section is not applicable as there is no "training set" for this type of device.
