The description focuses on precision pipettes for manual manipulation in assisted reproduction procedures and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.
No
The devices are used for manipulation of gametes and embryos, which are diagnostic/laboratory procedures, not therapeutic interventions on a patient.
No
The device description indicates that Microtools are precision pipettes used for physical manipulation of gametes or embryos in assisted reproduction procedures (denude, micromanipulate, inject, hold, transfer, etc.). There is no mention of the device being used to identify or determine the nature or cause of a disease or condition, which would make it a diagnostic device.
No
The device description explicitly states "Microtools are a family of precision pipettes," which are physical instruments, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. The intended use of the Pacific Andrology, Inc. Microtools is for the manipulation and handling of human gametes and embryos during assisted reproduction procedures. They are tools used in the process, not for analyzing a specimen to diagnose a condition.
- The description focuses on the physical manipulation of cells and embryos. The functions described (denuding, micromanipulating, injecting, holding, transferring, creating holes) are all physical actions performed on the biological material.
- There is no mention of analyzing or testing a specimen to obtain diagnostic information. The device is not used to determine the presence of a disease, condition, or physiological state.
Therefore, the Pacific Andrology, Inc. Microtools fall under the category of medical devices used in assisted reproduction procedures, but they do not meet the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Pacific Andrology, Inc. Microtools are a family of precision pipettes that are used for assisted reproduction procedures. They are designed, for use to denude, micromanipulate, inject, hold or transfer human gametes or embryos for assisted hatching, ICSI, or other assisted reproduction methods.
ICSI micropipettes are used for the intracytoplasmic single sperm injection of oocytes.
Assisted hatching micropipettes are used to effect a hole in the zona pellucida by chemical means.
The Holding Micropipettes are used to hold the oocyte in position during single sperm injection with the Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) Micropipette, to hold the embryo during the assisted hatching or during partial zona dissection procedures.
Partial zona dissection micropipettes are used to facilitate assisted hatching by mechanically creating a hole in the zona pellucida.
The Denuding Pipettes are used to remove cumulus cell layers from oocytes.

§ 884.6130 Assisted reproduction microtools.
(a)
Identification. Assisted reproduction microtools are pipettes or other devices used in the laboratory to denude, micromanipulate, hold, or transfer human gametes or embryos for assisted hatching, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), or other assisted reproduction methods.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls) (mouse embryo assay information, endotoxin testing, sterilization validation, design specifications, labeling requirements, and clinical testing). The device, when the assisted reproduction microtools (pipettes) are manufactured from glass, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 884.9.

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 (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Reculations, 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 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), 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,
