Indications for Use

This system is intended to be used to drill a small tangential hole in or to thin the zona pellucida of the embryo in selected in vitro fertilization (IVF) patients with otherwise poor prognosis for successful pregnancy outcome, such as advanced maternal age, prior failed IVF procedures, cryopreserved embryos, or abnormal zona pellucida morphology, and in IVF patients undergoing PGD to avoid genetic disease or aneuploidy.

Device Story

ZILOS-tk is an infrared (IR) laser system for assisted reproduction; used in IVF clinics by embryologists. Device attaches to inverted microscope turret; projects 1450-1480 nm IR laser beam confocal with visible light path. User targets embryo zona pellucida; laser pulses (typically 300 mW, <500 usec) liquefy small area of zona. Creates hole for assisted hatching (LAH) or biopsy cell extraction (LAB) for PGD. Computer-controlled; provides precise thermal ablation. Benefits include improved implantation rates for poor-prognosis embryos and access to cells for genetic screening to prevent hereditary disease transmission.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing and clinical field data provided. Field reports include >600 3-day embryos treated for biopsy and >1000 embryos treated for trophectoderm biopsy; no reports of embryo damage; 100% survival reported for trophectoderm biopsy cases. PGD following LAB successfully used to prevent hereditary disease.

Technological Characteristics

Infrared diode laser (1450-1480 nm); 300 mW power; <500 usec pulse duration. Attaches to inverted microscope turret. Computer-controlled via desktop/laptop. Confocal IR/visible beam path. No changes from predicate device.

Indications for Use

Indicated for IVF patients with poor pregnancy prognosis (advanced maternal age, prior failed IVF, cryopreserved embryos, abnormal zona morphology) and patients undergoing pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) for hereditary disease or aneuploidy avoidance.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

The assisted reproduction laser system is a device that images, targets, and controls the power and pulse duration of a laser beam used to ablate a small tangential hole in, or to thin, the zona pellucida of an embryo for assisted hatching or other assisted reproduction procedures.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control is FDA's guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Assisted Reproduction Laser Systems.” See § 884.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.

Trade Name: Common name: Classification Name ZILOS-tk, Laser drill. Assisted reproduction laser system (21 CFR 884.6200, code MRX)

Equivalent legally marketed device: ZILOS-tk

The ZILOS-tk uses an infra-red [IR] laser beam [of wavelength in the range 1450 < 1 < 1480 nm] to locally heat a small spot on the embryo zona pellucida. The IR beam is projected through the microscope objective in a direction opposite to the image light, so that it focuses on the embryo. This epi-irradiating IR beam is confocal with the visible beam, and the user adjusts the line-up of the target to treat the exact region of the zona desired. The beam power is typically 300 mW and the beam is pulsed on for typically 500 usec or less, with a 40x objective. The thermal effect of the beam is to liquefy the zona pellucida in a small region surrounding the focal point, and thereby provide access to the embryo itself. The hole drilled in this manner can be used either to aid hatching or for biopsy cell extraction. The assembled ZILOS-tk laser system is the same length as a microscope objective and can be fitted on to the turret of any inverted microscope. It can be controlled by a desktop or laptop computer.

The intended use of the ZILOS-tk includes laser assisted hatching [LAH] and laserassisted blastomere or trophectoderm biopsy [LAB]. LAH is applied to in vitro treatment embryos from older women or embryos that have been frozen, in order to maximize their chances of implantation and pregnancy, and has been approved for marketing [K040045]. On the other hand LAB is used for providing specimen blastomeres (or trophectoderm cells) for pre-implantation genetic diagnosis [PGD]. PGD is indicated when the parents have dominant or recessive forms of genetic diseases, as happens in specific populations, for example in people of Ashkenazim ancestry [Tay-Sachs] or in Mediterranean littoral populations {{}-thalasssemeia}. Laser-assisted PGD has allowed selection of embryos completely free of certain hereditary diseases such as B-thalassemia, with consequential

successful delivery of a healthy infant. The Indication for Use of the ZILOS-tk is extended in this submission to include LAB. Penetration of the zona pellucida for the purpose of biopsy is basically the same as penetration for laser hatching. The range of hole diameters used for laser hatching is closely similar to that used for LAB. Since the device is the same and its properties and pulse lengths are not changed from its LAH application, the actual effect of the laser is the same in both cases, and the safety and effectiveness of the ZILOS-tk are the same in both cases.

Technological characteristics. The ZILOS-tk in this Submission is identical to the ZILOS-tk already approved for marketing in its physical properties and in its computer control software. The laser, objective, computer, software, microscope type, laser controller, pulse power, pulse duration and firing switch are all identical to the predicate ZILOS-tk. The devices are not changed and all technical aspects are the same.

Performance Data. The ZILOS-tk has been applied to laser biopsy and PGD in numerous laboratories throughout the world. References to this work are attached. Both blastomere biopsy at the 3-day stage, and trophectoderm biopsy at the 5-day, have been used. PGD following LAB has been successfully employed to prevent hereditary disease in offspring. At different sites a total of more than six hundred 3-day embryos has been treated with lasers to assist biopsy, and no reports of embryo damage have been found. ZILOS-tk assisted trophectoderm biopsy has been reported used on more than 1000 embryos, all of which survived the procedure.

Safety and Effectiveness. In the drilling application, the evidence from the field use of the ZILOS-tk is that the instrument performs exactly as well as the predicate device. since no significant changes have been made in its design, software or operation. There is no increase in risk and no change in effectiveness. We conclude that the application of the ZILOS-tk to LAB entails no increased danger or potential problem from the approved application to LAH.
