The document describes chemical media for storing semen samples and does not mention any computational or analytical capabilities, let alone AI/ML.
No.
The device is a medium used for manipulating and storing semen samples, not for treating a disease or condition.
No
The device is described as a "Refrigeration Medium" and "Freezing Medium" intended for the storage and preservation of semen samples in assisted reproductive technology procedures. It doesn't identify the presence of a disease or condition, but rather facilitates a procedure.
No
The device description clearly indicates the device is a "synthetic, defined media," which is a physical substance (a liquid medium) used for storing semen samples. This is a physical product, not software.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the manipulation and storage of semen samples prior to use in assisted reproductive technology procedures. It's about preserving the sample itself, not analyzing it to diagnose a condition or provide information about a patient's health status.
- Device Description: The description reinforces that these are media for storing and preserving semen samples at low temperatures.
- Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: There is no mention of the device being used to test a sample to gain information about a disease, condition, or physiological state. The performance study focuses on sperm recovery and product function, not diagnostic accuracy.
IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's purpose is to maintain the viability of a sample for later use in a procedure, not to perform a diagnostic test on the sample.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
TYB Refrigeration Medium and TYB Freezing Medium with Glycerol will be assayed by a sperm recovery assay prior to release to market. The assay will ensure that the product functions appropriately and that no toxic components are present in the formulation. TYB Refrigeration Medium and TYB Freezing Medium with Glycerol have been used in a variety of clinical settings, for their intended use for a number of years. In that time, the products have become the standard media used for the low temperature storage and preservation of human semen samples.
A sperm recovery assay will be performed as a condition of release for these products, as well as endotoxin and sterility testing. Results of all release assays performed will be reported on a lot-specific certificate of analysis, and will be indicated on the labeling.
The conclusion from performance testing, as well as a review of the historical information contained in professional literature shows that TYB Freezing Medium with Glycerol and TYB Refrigeration Medium are suitable for their intended use, and meet the criteria outlined in the Notice of Final Rule, 63 FR 48428, Docket number 97N-0335.

§ 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.
