Intended Use

Tyrode's Solution, Acidified is intended to be used in zona drilling procedures, for assisted hatching.
Tyrode's Solution, Acidified is intended for use in assisted reproductive procedures involving the manipulation of embryos. Specifically, Tyrode's Solution, Acidified, is intended for use in zona-drilling procedures.

Device Description

Tyrode's Solution, Acidified is a synthetic, defined reagent with a pH of 2.1 to 2.5. It is based on the formulation of Tyrode's Solution, a common cell culture medium.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the validation of "Tyrode's Solution, Acidified" for use in zona-drilling procedures, a chemical reagent, not an AI device. Therefore, many of the requested categories related to AI device evaluation (such as sample size for test sets, data provenance, number of experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and training set information) are not applicable.

Here's an analysis of the provided text based on the request, focusing on the information available for a chemical reagent:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
pH Level2.1 to 2.5 (verified for each newly manufactured lot)
Endotoxin ContentTested prior to release (implicit assumption: must meet specifications)
SterilityTested prior to release (implicit assumption: must meet specifications)
Suitability for Intended UseSuitable for its intended use (zona-drilling procedures for assisted hatching)
Compliance with Regulatory CiteriaMeets criteria outlined in the Notice of Final Rule, 63 FR 48428, Docket number 97N-0335

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for specific testing. Performance data refers to "each newly manufactured lot" being tested for pH, endotoxin, and sterility.
  • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated for specific testing, but implies internal quality control testing for manufactured lots. The document also refers to "historical information contained in professional literature," suggesting external, previously published data or common knowledge about the reagent's use. It has been used in "a variety of clinical settings" for "a number of years."

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

  • This is not applicable as the product is a chemical reagent. Ground truth is established through chemical and biological assays (pH, endotoxin, sterility) and clinical history of use.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • Not applicable for a chemical reagent. Performance is determined by meeting predetermined specifications for each manufacturing lot.

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

  • Not applicable. This is a chemical reagent, not an AI device.

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

  • Not applicable. This is a chemical reagent, not an AI algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

  • pH Level, Endotoxin, Sterility: Ground truth is established by validated laboratory analytical methods and adherence to predefined specification ranges.
  • Intended Use Suitability: Ground truth is established through historical clinical use, professional literature, and the product's established optimal pH range for zona drilling. The statement "the product has become the standard reagent used for chemically mediated zona drilling procedures" indicates long-standing clinical acceptance and outcomes.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable. This is a chemical reagent, not an AI device that undergoes 'training'.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Not applicable.

April 14, 1999

Intended Use:

Tyrode's Solution, Acidified is intended to be used in zona drilling procedures, for assisted hatching.

Technological Characteristics:

Tyrode's Solution, Acidified has been developed with a pH in the range optimal for use in the assisted hatching procedure referred to as zona drilling. In this procedure, the zona pellucida, a noncellular covering over the fertilized ovum is removed by either a chemical or mechanical "drill". This covering must be removed prior to the implantation of the blastocyst, and subsequent pregnancy. A small amount of Tyrode's Solution, Acidified is applied to the zona pellucida of the embryo with an assisted hatching pipette, the embryo observed under a microscope, and when the desired effect has been achieved, the embryo is washed with a neutral medium prior to implantation or further development in vitro. Zona drilling procedures are commonly performed on embryos from older patients, or those with a history of failed assisted reproductive procedures.

Performance Data:

The pH level of each newly manufactured lot of Tyrode's Solution, Acidified is verified prior to release to market. This parameter is the most important for the proper functioning of the product. Lots that do not meet the release specification are not released for sale. In addition, each lot is tested for endotoxin and sterility prior to release. Tyrode's Solution, Acidified has been used in a variety of clinical settings, for its intended use, for a number of years. In that time, the product has become the standard reagent used for chemically mediated zona drilling procedures.

{2}------------------------------------------------

Additional Information:

Endotoxin and sterility testing will be performed as a condition of release for this product. Results of all release assays performed will be reported on a lotspecific certificate of analysis, and will be indicated on the labeling.

Conclusion:

The conclusion from performance testing, as well as a review of the historical information contained in professional literature shows that Tyrode's Solution, Acidified is suitable for its intended use, and meets the criteria outlined in the Notice of Final Rule, 63 FR 48428, Docket number 97N-0335.
