The device is a buffered saline solution for in vitro procedures, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would incorporate AI/ML.
No.
The substances are intended for in vitro procedures involving manipulation of gametes and embryos, and are not applied directly to a patient for diagnosis, cure, mitigation, or treatment of a disease or condition.
No
The device is described as media for in vitro procedures involving the manipulation, washing, or cryopreservation of gametes and embryos, which is a laboratory tool, not a diagnostic device for medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) and PBS with calcium, magnesium, glucose, pyruvate and phenol red Medium," which are chemical solutions, not software.
Based on the provided information, yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the products are "for in vitro procedures involving the manipulations of gametes and embryos". This directly aligns with the definition of an in vitro diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. While the specific "diagnostic" aspect isn't explicitly stated as a final outcome, the manipulation of gametes and embryos in a laboratory setting falls under the umbrella of in vitro procedures related to human health and reproduction.
The other sections (Device Description, Mentions image processing, etc.) do not contradict this classification and are either not relevant to the IVD determination or indicate the absence of features that would place it in a different category (like imaging or AI-based devices).
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) and Phosphate Buffered Saline, with calcium, magnesium, glucose, pyruvate and phenol red are for in vitro procedures involving the manipulations of gametes and embryos such as oocyte retrieval or embryo transfer, gamete washing, or micromanipulation. They may also be used for cryopreservation of qametes and embryos after the addition of appropriate cryopreservation agent(s).

§ 884.6180 Reproductive media and supplements.
(a)
Identification. Reproductive media and supplement are products that are used for assisted reproduction procedures. Media include liquid and powder versions of various substances that come in direct physical contact with human gametes or embryos (including water, acid solutions used to treat gametes or embryos, rinsing solutions, sperm separation media, supplements, or oil used to cover the media) for the purposes of preparation, maintenance, transfer or storage. Supplements are specific reagents added to media to enhance specific properties of the media (e.g., proteins, sera, antibiotics, etc.).(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls) (mouse embryo assay information, endotoxin testing, sterilization validation, design specifications, labeling requirements, biocompatibility testing, and clinical testing). The device, when it is phosphate-buffered saline used for washing, and short-term handling and manipulation of gametes and embryos; culture oil used as an overlay for culture media containing gametes and embryos; and water for assisted reproduction applications, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 884.9.

Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) and PBS with calcium, magnesium, glucose, pyruvate and phenol red Medium Dated: August 20, 1999 Received: August 23, 1999 Regulatory Class: II 21 CFR §884.6180/Procode: 85 MQL
Dear Mr. Holland:
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 III (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 Requlation (QS) for Medical Devices: General requlation (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 regult 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 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 diagnosic devices), piease 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): 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".
Sincerely yours.
