Indications for Use
Knockout™ SR Medium and Knockout™ SR Xenofree Medium are liquid tissue culture media product intended for human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications.
Device Story
Knockout™ SR and Knockout™ SR Xenofree are liquid, serum-free tissue culture media; used for ex vivo processing, growth, and maintenance of human embryonic stem cells (ESC) and patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Knockout™ SR contains defined nutrient materials; Knockout™ SR Xenofree replaces animal-derived components with human-derived or synthetic alternatives. Media are used in laboratory settings by trained personnel to provide consistent growth conditions. Products are stored at 2°C-8°C; shelf life is 14 months. Efficacy is demonstrated by cell morphology, plate efficiency, and colony formation. Benefits include reduced differentiation compared to fetal bovine serum and consistent, defined formulation for cell culture applications.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance validated against Class II Special Controls Guidance Document. Testing included: ES cell morphology, relative plate efficiency, and relative type 1 colonies to demonstrate growth support and lack of toxicity; LAL testing (USP <85>) for endotoxin/pyrogen levels; sterility assurance level (SAL) ≥ 10^-3; and raw material purity testing per USP, ACS, FCC, and GIBCO standards. Stability testing confirmed pH maintenance, lack of cytotoxicity, and container/closure integrity over 14-month shelf life.
Technological Characteristics
Liquid, serum-free, chemically defined tissue culture media. Knockout™ SR Xenofree is animal-origin-free. Sterilized via aseptic processing. Storage: 2°C-8°C. Raw materials tested per USP, ACS, FCC, and GIBCO standards. No electronic components or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications to support the growth or maintenance of human tissue or cells in culture.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Tissue culture media for human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications consist of cell and tissue culture media and components that are composed of chemically defined components (e.g., amino acids, vitamins, inorganic salts) that are essential for the ex vivo development, survival, and maintenance of tissues and cells of human origin. The solutions are indicated for use in human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls): FDA guidance document, “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Tissue Culture Media for Human Ex Vivo Processing Applications; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Reviewers.”

### Intended Use
Knockout™ SR Medium and Knockout™ SR Xenofree Medium are liquid tissue culture media product intended for human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications.
## Substantial Equivalence
AIM-V® Medium is the predicate device for tissue culture media intended for human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications. It is composed of chemically defined nutrient materials in solution (with or without supplements) that are essential for the survival and development of tissue or cells of human or other animal origin. These nutrients are provided in liguid form for use in supporting the growth or maintenance of human tissue and cells.

#### A. Intended Uses
Knockout™ SR Medium and Knockout™ SR Xenofree Medium and AIM-V® Medium tissue culture products are intended for human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications. These devices are chemically defined tissue culture media used to support the growth or maintenance of human tissue or cells in culture.
# B. Principles of Operation and Technological Characteristics
# Knockout™ SR
Knockout™ SR is a serum-free medium with a defined formulation that provides consistent growth conditions for human and mouse embryonic stem cell (ESC) and patient-specific induced pluripotent cell lines (iPSCs). Both ESC and iPSC grown in Knockout™ SR supplemented media are substantially less differentiated than those grown in fetal bovine serum (FBS) supplemented media. This media was introduced in 1998 and there are over 300 literature references to Knockout™ SR.
# Knockout™ SR Xenofree
Knockout "M SR Xenofree is a serum-free and animal origin-free defined formulation that provides consistent growth conditions for human and mouse embryonic stem cell (ESC) and patient-specific induced pluripotent cell lines (iPSCs). All animal derived components have been replaced with human derived or synthetic components to yield a xenogeneic-free formulation. This media was developed and marketed in 2008.
# C. Pre-clinical Testing
#### Performance Standards
Performance standards under Section 514 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act have been established in Guidance Document "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Tissue Culture Media for Human Ex Vivo Tissue and Cell Culture Processing Applications: Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Reviewers," issued May 16, 2001. The specific assay tests and Life Technologies Corporation's equivalent tests that were conducted are identified in the table below.

# Stability/Shelf Life
Based on analysis of product performance over time, Life Technologies Corporation has established a shelf life of 14-months for Knockout™ SR Medium and Knockout™ SR Xenofree Medium formulations, when stored between 2°C-8°C. Stability testing involved the assessment of these functional aspects of media, including demonstrating: ( ) that the pH continued to meet specifications; and (2) the media was not cytotoxic and supported the growth of mammalian cells. The pH was tested to demonstrate that the media was not chemically altered during its storage. In assessing cytoxicity/biocompatibility, Life Technologies Corporation demonstrated that the media functions in supporting the growth of mammalian cells and that the media does not become toxic to mammalian cells during storage. In addition, results from container/closure integrity testing have demonstrated that the container/closure system provides protection from microbial contamination.
# D. Conclusion
Knockout™ SR Medium and Knockout™ SR Xenofree Medium and AIM-V® Medium are used for human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications and have the same principles of operation, technological characteristics, efficacy (generic cellular growth and maintenance) and safety (consistency in chemical content and formulation, biocompatibility with cells, and purity). Their efficacy in supporting the survival, growth, development, and maintenance of human cells or tissue culture systems has been well established in scientific publications included in this submission. These products (Knockout 10) SR Medium and Knockout™ SR Xenofree Medium and AIM-V® Medium) are manufacturer in accordance with QSR requirements and are labeled as aseptically processed. Thus, Knockout™ SR Medium and Knockout™ SR Xenofree Medium are substantially equivalent to the legally marketed device intended for the human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications.
