Device Description
The <genX> Embryo Transfer Catheter There will be two (2) catheters made The <genx> Linbryo Transhals in order to accommodate the market from the same basic and for more difficult transfers. The catalog numbers of the two models are GECT-100 and GETC-200. The basic design of the two models will consist of an inner catheter of 5 French The basic dosign of theter of 9 French tapering to 7 French O.D. with a one O.D.and an outlor batheter of the inner catheter has a support/holding continution mailking on from the handle end along the catheter for 5 cm. The inner catheter will extend approximately 5 cm out of the outer catheter when f no inner catiforer will the standard model and 3 cm for the difficult transfer model. The materials are of implant grade medical polymers, to be wrapped for single use. There will be three variations of the catheter made to suit the market needs. All will be of a polymer that may be gamma radiated or E-Beamed. We consider these to be equivalent in the method and results, and may use both in the process.

No
The document describes a physical medical device (catheter) and its materials and dimensions. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, AI, or ML.

No

The device is used to introduce embryos into the body, which is a procedural step rather than a direct treatment of a disease or condition. While part of a medical procedure, it serves a delivery function, not a therapeutic one itself.

No

The device is an Embryo Transfer Catheter, used to introduce embryos into the body, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical catheter made of medical polymers, 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:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "introduce embryos into the body." This is a direct intervention on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition or provide information about a physiological state.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter designed for insertion into the body. There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any components used to analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information
    • Using reagents or assays
    • Measuring analytes

The device is a medical device used for a therapeutic procedure (embryo transfer), not a diagnostic test.

(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).
