Intended Use
The Ackrad IUI Set is intended for use in cases where the recipient has had difficulty in achieving pregnancy in the customary way.
Device Description
The Ackrad IUI Set consists of two parts: a calibrating probe and an introducing catheter, each of which is accompanied by a placement sheath to aid in insertion. The calibrating probe is a clear flexible tube, closed and rounded at the distal tip. A movable stop is attached to assist in calibrating the depth of insertion. Five narrow bands, one cm apart, designate distances of 25, 26, 27, 28 and 29cm from the distal tip, with a wide band at 30cm from the tip. The proximal end is fitted with a two-cm length of large outside diameter tubing to serve as a handle. The diameter of the probe is 1.8 mm and the working length is 44.0 cm. The introducing catheter is identical to the calibrating probe except that the distal end has an end port or side port within 3 mm of the tip, and the proximal end is fitted with a standard female luer-lock hub. Both the probe and the catheter are composed of clear, naturally flexible polyurethane material. The movable stop is composed of clear polyvinyl chloride of a 55-60A durometer. Both the calibration probe and the catheter have a placement sheath through which they pass as an aid in insertion. The sheath is composed of rigid polypropylene material, 20 cm long with an inside diameter of 3.4 mm and an outside diameter of 4.6 mm. The distal end is rounded to minimize trauma. The ink used for the banding of the catheter and probe is No-tox no. M-1000, manufactured by the Colorcon Corp. of West Point, PA. The device functions as a means of accurately injecting the sperm into the uterus of the receptor patient. The calibrating probe is first used to measure the proper depth for insertion. Then sperm is introduced into the uterus via the catheter and expelled at the proper depth. The placement sheath allows both the probe and the catheter to be advanced through the cervix of the patient easily and non-traumatically without buckling or inadvertently touching the vagina.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description details a purely mechanical device for intrauterine insemination, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is "intended for use in cases where the recipient has had difficulty in achieving pregnancy in the customary way," which describes a medical condition. The "Device Description" explains that the device "functions as a means of accurately injecting the sperm into the uterus of the receptor patient." This directly addresses a medical condition (infertility) and aims to restore fertility, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

Explanation: The device description clearly states its function is "accurately injecting the sperm into the uterus of the receptor patient." It is an insemination device, not one used for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride, and polypropylene, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Ackrad IUI Set is a medical device used to physically introduce sperm into the uterus. It is a tool for a medical procedure, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to assist in achieving pregnancy by facilitating intrauterine insemination, which is a procedural intervention.
  • Device Description: The description details physical components for insertion and delivery, not reagents or equipment for analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the Ackrad IUI Set falls under the category of a medical device used for a therapeutic or procedural purpose, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-clinical tests:
Pull tests were conducted on the attachments of the proximal fittings of the probe and catheter. Five samples were tested, all samples resisted a force of 1 kg .

Ten samples were wiped over the banded area with a paper wipe soaked in warm water. No smearing or removal of the black markings was observed.

Laboratory tests:
Prior to introducing the catheter into clinical testing studies were performed in which sperm were loaded into the catheter and incubated at 37℃ overnight. Sperm motility as determined the next morning was not different from that of control sperm not incubated in the catheter.

Clinical testing:
The IUI Set was used at the Reproductive Endocrinology and Fertility Services department of The Malden Hospital (100 Hospital Road, Malden, MA 02148) for intrauterine insemination procedures on female patients between the ages of 24 to 42 under informed consent conditions. None of the patients experienced adverse affects and no complication occurred.

  • Intended Use 5.
    The Ackrad IUI Set is intended for use in cases where the recipient has had difficulty in achieving pregnancy in the customary way. The patient population comprises women generally ranging in age from 25 to 45.

The intended use is the same as the Royal Women's Coaxial Catheter Set (i.e. intrauterine insemination). The intended use is different from the Ackrad H/S Catheter Set which is used for a diagnostic procedure, hysterosalpingography. The H/S Catheter is passed into the uterus and delivers a quantity of contrast media for x-ray or ultrasound diagnosis. The IUI probe and catheter are passed into the uterus in exactly the same way, using the same placement sheath as the H/S Catheter way, abing the sperm into the uterus upon depression of an external syringe.

  • Technological Characteristics 6.
    The materials of the IUI set are virtually identical to those of the H/S Catheter. The only difference is that the polyurethane tubing of the H/S Catheter contains a radiopaque ingredient, while the identical polyurethane tubing of the IUI catheter and probe contains no The placement sheath is additive and is clear. Both the marking ink and identical in both devices. movable stop are FDA-approved materials and in any case do not contact body tissue during the procedure.

The Ackrad IUI Set is similar to the Royal Women's Coaxial Catheter set but differs in that the former is used in two separate insertions. The IUI Set differs from the H/S Catheter Set in that both the probe and catheter of the former have no balloon and the catheter In addition, the IUI Set is single, not double lumen. has marking bands ascribed to assess the depth of insertion, and is optically and radiographically transparent.

The catheter is long and thin, with a connector at one end and a side port near the other end. The side port is a small opening in the side of the catheter that allows for the introduction of fluids or other substances. The catheter is used to introduce other medical devices into the body.
