Intended Use

To provide an environment with controlled temperature, CO2 (and other gases) for the development of embryos. This model has an integrated inverted microscope and imaging system for embryo viewing. Device use is limited to three days (72 hr) covering the time from post-fertilization to day 3 of development.

Device Story

EmbryoScope (Version D) is an IVF incubator providing controlled temperature and gas (CO2/O2) environment for embryo development. Device features integrated inverted microscope and imaging system for time-lapse microscopy at multiple planes. Operates with sterile disposable EmbryoSlides (12-well capacity, 72 embryos total). Used in IVF clinics by embryologists. Device performs unattended measurements and logs incubation conditions. Integrated imaging allows viewing of embryo development without removing slides from the controlled environment, minimizing disturbance. Output consists of time-lapse images and incubation data, enabling monitoring of embryo development. Benefits include stable incubation environment and reduced embryo handling/disturbance compared to conventional incubators.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical data compared EmbryoScope (Version D) to standard incubators. Results showed no significant difference in ongoing pregnancy rates. No adverse effects from image acquisition were observed. Bench testing included electrical safety (IEC 60601-1), electromagnetic compatibility, and environmental/operating performance testing. EmbryoSlides passed LAL (non-pyrogenic), cytotoxicity, and mouse embryo assay (MEA) testing.

Technological Characteristics

Incubator with direct heating, integrated inverted microscope, and gas control (CO2/O2). EmbryoSlides made of polystyrene, E-beam sterilized (SAL 10^-6), tested per ISO 11137. Connectivity includes data logging of incubation conditions. Software controls incubation environment and data acquisition. Dimensions/form factor: 6-slide capacity (72 embryos).

Indications for Use

Indicated for the incubation of human embryos from post-fertilization to day 3 of development (72 hours) in an environment with controlled temperature and gas composition.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Assisted reproduction accessories are a group of devices used during assisted reproduction procedures, in conjunction with assisted reproduction needles and/or assisted reproduction catheters, to aspirate, incubate, infuse, and/or maintain temperature. This generic type of device may include:(1) Powered aspiration pumps used to provide low flow, intermittent vacuum for the aspiration of eggs (ova). (2) Syringe pumps (powered or manual) used to activate a syringe to infuse or aspirate small volumes of fluid during assisted reproduction procedures. (3) Collection tube warmers, used to maintain the temperature of egg (oocyte) collection tubes at or near body temperature. A dish/plate/microscope stage warmer is a device used to maintain the temperature of the egg (oocyte) during manipulation. (4) Embryo incubators, used to store and preserve gametes and/or embryos at or near body temperature. (5) Cryopreservation instrumentation and devices, used to contain, freeze, and maintain gametes and/or embryos at an appropriate freezing temperature.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls) (design specifications, labeling requirements, and clinical testing). The device, when it is a simple embryo incubator with only temperature, gas, and humidity control; a syringe pump; a collection tube warmer; a dish/plate/microscope stage warmer; a controlled-rate cryopreservation freezer; or an assisted reproduction laminar flow workstation is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 884.9.

The devices enhance safety by continuously monitoring the critical functions. Both incubators use direct heating of the culture dish. This principle is shown to be very effective in order to control the temperature as "the direct heat transfer culture incubator has superior temperature maintenance compared to a large volume air convection incubator" in: Cooke et al., "Objective Assessments of Temperature Maintenance Using In Vitro Culture techniques". 2002, Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics, Vol 19, p. 368-375. The EmbryoScope™ - (version D) has a build in microscope. This feature is not an option in the predicate device but the light intensity is compared to conventional light microscopes used in the IVF clinic and the data shows that it is comparable and thus safe for the embryos and in addition the embryo disturbance is minimized as the EmbryoSlides stay in the controlled incubation environment during microscopy.

Below the graphic, the words "UNISENSE" and "FERTILITECH" are written in bold, stacked on top of each other. The logo appears to be for a company in the fertility technology industry. concept with a build-in microscope is not new but an option in workstations as " Custom products IVF Workstation" from MidAtlantic Diagnostics, Inc - K991216. It should also be noted that microscopes for use in general assisted reproductive procedures are classified as Class I exempt products under 21 CFR 884.6190. Assisted Reproductive Microscopes and Microscope Accessories). In the EmbryoScope™ - (Version D) the oxygen range (3-20%) can be controlled. The concept of controlling Oxygen levels in incubators is not new. Ex.: The Forma Scientific Incubator - K991408) allows for the direct control of oxygen levels (2-20%). By using an oil overlay and a dedicated slide lid increased humidity is avoided in the EmbryoScope™ – (Version D) thus reducing the contamination risk. This is different from the Predicate Device. The EmbryoSlides™ and the Nunc IVF 4-Well Dish have similar applications, which include cell culturing and IVF. Both devices are sterile (SAL of 106), non-pyrogenic, and non-embryotoxic. They are made of the same material, polystyrene and are similar in configuration, with each well having optically clear surface. The design as such is different as each EmbryoSlide "" has 12 wells and other well dimensions, but the embryo survival rate is shown to be comparable to the Predicate Device. Summary: The differences between the EmbryoScope™ ~ (Version D), EmbryoSlide™ and the Predicate Devices do not alter the safety and effectiveness of the device. The EmbryoScope™ - (Version D) and related accessory the EmbryoSlide "" are similar, with respect to the FDA published predicate device description. #### Clinical Testing: Clinical data showed that the EmbryoScope TM - (Version D) performs according to the intended use of the device. No significant difference was found between the rates of ongoing pregnancies in a standard incubator and the EmbryoScope™ - (Version D). No adverse effects of image acquisition were observed.
