Device Description
The <genX> Culture Dish is intended to be used when culturing tissues and cells. It may be used for the use with sperm and for the culturing of embryos. The catalog number is GDEC-100. The basic design is that of a traditional culture dish. Approx 60mm round with 1½ inch sidewalls. This dish does have defined areas for the cell to be confined within. These areas are squares of picket-fenced walls, which will allow fluids, nutrients and byproducts to freely flow among the culturing cell, embryos.

No
The description focuses on the physical design and intended use of a traditional culture dish, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis capabilities.

No
The device is described as a culture dish used for culturing tissues, cells, sperm, and embryos, which is a laboratory tool, not a device intended for treating a disease or health condition.

No
The device is described as a culture dish used for culturing tissues and cells, including sperm and embryos. Its function is to hold and facilitate the growth of biological samples, not to diagnose conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical culture dish with specific dimensions and features, indicating it is a hardware device.

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. The intended use and device description state that the device is used to "culture tissues and cells," "hold sperm," and "culture embryos." While sperm and embryos are derived from the human body, the device's function is to provide a controlled environment for their growth and maintenance outside the body, not to perform diagnostic tests on them.
  • IVDs are used to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease. The description of this device focuses on its function as a culture vessel, not on its use in generating diagnostic information.

The device is a laboratory tool used for culturing biological materials. While these cultured materials might eventually be used in diagnostic procedures or research that leads to diagnostic information, the dish itself is not performing a diagnostic function.

§ 884.6160 Assisted reproduction labware.

(a)
Identification. Assisted reproduction labware consists of laboratory equipment or supplies intended to prepare, store, manipulate, or transfer human gametes or embryos for in vitro fertilization (IVF), gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), or other assisted reproduction procedures. These include syringes, IVF tissue culture dishes, IVF tissue culture plates, pipette tips, dishes, plates, and other vessels that come into physical contact with gametes, embryos or tissue culture media.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls) (mouse embryo assay information, endotoxin testing, sterilization validation, design specifications, labeling requirements, and clinical testing). The device, when it is a dish or plate intended for general assisted reproduction technology procedures, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 884.9.

Re: K993881 Tissue Culture Dish Dated: November 15, 1999 Received: November 16, 1999 Regulatory Class: II 21 CFR §884.6110/Procode: 85 MQK

Dear Mr. Cecchi:

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 II (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 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).
