No
The summary describes a physical medical device (catheter) and its materials, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is used to place embryos into the uterine cavity, which is a medical intervention aimed at treating infertility.

No

The device description indicates its use for placing embryos into the uterine cavity, which is a therapeutic or procedural function, not a diagnostic one. It does not gather information about a patient's health condition.

No

The device description explicitly lists physical materials (NRT (TFE), polyethylene, Echosight polyethylene, and stainless steel) and describes a physical function (placing embryos into the uterine cavity), indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "place embryos into the uterine cavity." This is a direct intervention on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical components and materials used for the transfer process.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) for a therapeutic procedure.

§ 884.6110 Assisted reproduction catheters.

(a)
Identification. Assisted reproduction catheters are devices used in in vitro fertilization (IVF), gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), or other assisted reproduction procedures to introduce or remove gametes, zygote(s), preembryo(s), and/or embryo(s) into or from the body. This generic type of device may include catheters, cannulae, introducers, dilators, sheaths, stylets, and component parts.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls) (mouse embryo assay information, endotoxin testing, sterilization validation, design specifications, labeling requirements, biocompatibility testing, and clinical testing).

I. 510(k) SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS

Submitted By:

Debbie Schmitt Cook OB/GYN 1100 West Morgan Street Spencer, Indiana 47460 (812) 829-4891 (812) 829-4069 (Fax) October 13, 1998

Device

Trade Name: Proposed Classification Name: Embryo Transfer Catheters/Sets Assisted Reproduction Catheters Class II 85MOF

Predicate Devices:

Cook OB/GYN understands due to the recent reclassification there are no predicate devices. However, we have used Cook Australia products as our predicate to illustrate safety and effectiveness.

The Embryo Transfer Catheters/Sets are substantially equivalent to other Embryo Transfer Catheters/Sets in terms of indications for use, design, construction and materials equivalence. Specifically, these devices are similar to the Embryo Transfer Catheters/Sets manufactured by Cook Australia.

Device Description:

The Embryo Transfer Catheters/Sets are used for transferring IVF embryos into the uterine cavity. The materials used in these devices are NRT (TFE), polyethylene, Echosight polyethylene, and stainless steel. Biocompatibility is assured.

Substantial Equivalence:

These devices will be manufactured according to specified controls and a Quality Assurance Program. These devices will undergo packaging similar to the devices currently marketed and distributed by Cook OB/GYN. Being similar with respect to indications for use, materials and physical construction to predicate devices, these devices meet the requirements for section 510(k) substantial equivalence.

Re: K983594 Transvaginal Embryo Transfer Catheters/Sets Dated: October 13, 1998 Received: October 13, 1998 Regulatory Class: II 21 CFR 884.6110/Procode: 85 MQF

Dear Ms. Schmitt:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP requiration may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any oblication you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification"(21 CFR 807.97).
