AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

No
The device description focuses on the physical characteristics and materials of catheters used for assisted reproduction procedures. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Therapeutic

Yes
The devices are used to introduce or remove gametes, zygotes, preembryos, and/or embryos into or from the body, which are procedures aimed at treating infertility. This directly addresses a medical condition or facilitates a physiological process, classifying them as therapeutic devices.

Diagnostic

The devices are described as instruments used to introduce or remove biological material (gametes, zygotes, embryos) into or from the body, indicating a role in interventional procedures rather than diagnosis.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

The device description explicitly details physical components made of materials like polyethylene, polypropylene, and stainless steel, which are hardware. The intended use also describes physical procedures involving the introduction and removal of gametes/embryos using these physical catheters and sets.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

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

Here's why:

Intended Use: The intended use is to "introduce or remove gametes, zygote(s), preembryo(s) and/or embryo(s) into or from the body." This describes a procedure performed on the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
Device Description: The description details catheters and sets designed for physical manipulation and transfer within the reproductive tract. It doesn't mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any reagents, assays, or analytical methods typically associated with IVD devices.

The devices described are instruments used in assisted reproductive procedures, which are considered medical devices, but not IVDs.

It is provided with a positioning system (markings) that allows to transfer at a chosen distance from the olive.

Function of Device/Significant Physical Characteristics of Device:

All devices are malleable, to allow a change in shape for the device; the mandrel is accluded to prevent the in-flow of bodily fluids when inserting into the crevix. All devices contain echolocater ultrasound markers.

The Frydman™ Catheter is used for embryo transfer when the permeability of the cervical canal is normal.

The Double Lumen Frydman™ Catheter 4.5 is used for embryo transfer with any permeability of the cervical canal.

The Soft Frydman™ Set, with or without a mandrel, is used for embryo transfer. The model with the mandrel may be used in the presence of a narrow or curved cervix that makes it difficult to introduce the model without the mandrel.

The Short Frydman™ Set is used for difficult embryo transfer. The set may be used in the presence of a narrow or curved cervix that makes it difficult to introduce a standard Frydman™ catheter.

The Long Frydman™ Set is also for difficult embryo transfer. The set may be used in the presence of a narrow or curved cervix that makes it difficult to introduce a standard Frydman™ catheter.

The T.D.T.TM Set is used for embryo transfer. The T.D.T.TM Set allows the reduction of the risk of setting in the crypts or occlusion by mucus that would impede the expulsion of the embryo.

The BI SET™ for GIFT is used for intrafallopian transfer of gametes via transparietal route under celioscopy.

The Oliver Set MK II ™ is used for intratubal transfer of gametes or zygotes via a transcervical approach.

Dear Ms. Platt:

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 regulation 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 obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Flectronic Product .

Page 2

Under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA-88), this device may require a CLIA complexity categorization. To determine if it does, you should contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at (770) 488-7655.

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) 594-4588. 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). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597, or at its internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html".
