Intended Use

The EmbryoScope (Version D) provides 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 five days (120 hr) covering the time from post-fertilization to day 5 of development. EmbryoViewer is an optional accessory software package for use in displaying, comparing, storing, and transferring EmbryoScope (Version D) generated images. The software includes a user annotation function for capturing information on embryo development parameters, treatment data, and outcome data. The EmbryoViewer software does not control any hardware components in the EmbryoScope (Version D) device.

Device Story

EmbryoScope (Version D) is an embryo incubator with integrated inverted microscope for time-lapse imaging; logs incubation conditions and captures images of embryos during 5-day development. EmbryoViewer is an optional accessory software for displaying, comparing, storing, and transferring these time-lapse images. Software includes manual annotation tools for embryologists to record development parameters, treatment data, and outcomes. Device used in clinical embryology labs; operated by trained personnel. Software does not control hardware; acts as a viewing and data management platform. Output allows clinicians to inspect high-resolution images and track embryo development, facilitating clinical decision-making regarding embryo selection for transfer.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Software validation testing conducted to verify data transfer and annotation accuracy. Electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and environmental/operating performance testing performed per IEC 60601-1.

Technological Characteristics

Incubator with integrated inverted microscope for time-lapse imaging. Software: EmbryoViewer accessory for image display and manual annotation. Compliance: IEC 60601-1 (electrical/EMC), EN 62304 (software lifecycle).

Indications for Use

Indicated for embryos in an assisted reproduction environment requiring controlled incubation (temperature, CO2/gases) and time-lapse imaging for up to 120 hours post-fertilization to day 5 of development.

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.

This extension results in a new Indication for Use reflection the addition of annotation tool. The EmbryoViewer software does not introduce changes to the EmbryoScope (Version D) thus the components in this device are identical in the predicate device. As the EmbryoViewer software does not control any functions on the EmbryoScope (Version D) device it can not affect the operation of the EmbryoScope (Version D) device. The purpose of the EmbryoViewer software is to view images generated by the EmbryoScope (version D), and software validation testing has been conducted to verify data transfer. The annotation functions of the device do not raise any concerns because the information inputted by the physician is the same that would typically be collected by an embryologist and maintained on paper patient records. Also, software testing has been conducted to verify correct annotation for a specific patient/embryo. In the event of a software malfunction, there will be no affect on the EmbryoScope device. Conclusion: The addition of the optional EmbryoViewer software to the EmbryoScope (Version D) does not raise new types of safety and effectiveness questions.
