Intended Use

OpTmizer™ CTS™ T-Cell Expansion SFM is a liquid tissue culture media product intended for human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications.

Device Story

OpTmizer™ CTS™ T-Cell Expansion SFM is a liquid, serum-free, and xeno-free 1X medium consisting of a basal medium and a supplement. It is used in laboratory or clinical settings for the ex vivo growth and expansion of human T lymphocytes (CD3+). The medium supports cell densities exceeding 3 x 10^6 cells/mL in static conditions and 2 x 10^7 cells/mL in Wave bags. By providing a chemically defined environment, it facilitates the maintenance and proliferation of human cells for therapeutic or research applications. Healthcare providers or laboratory technicians utilize the medium to culture cells, which are then processed for clinical use. The product is aseptically processed and stored at 2-8°C with a twelve-month shelf life.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance was validated through QC performance assays for cell growth support, Limulus Ameobocyte (LAL) testing for endotoxin/pyrogen levels (USP Monograph <85>), and determination of Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) ≥ 10^-3. Stability testing confirmed pH maintenance, lack of cytotoxicity, and container/closure integrity over a twelve-month shelf life.

Technological Characteristics

Chemically defined, serum-free, xeno-free 1X liquid medium. Composed of basal medium and supplement. Aseptically processed. Tested for chemical purity per USP, ACS, FCC, GIBCO, or Cell Culture requirements. Supports CD3+ T-cell expansion in static or Wave bag bioreactor systems.

Indications for Use

Indicated for human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications, specifically for the growth and expansion of human T lymphocytes.

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.

510(k) Summary – Life Technologies OpTmizer™ CTS™ T-Cell Expansion SFM

OpTmizer™ CTS™ T-Cell Expansion SFM has been developed for the growth and expansion of human T lymphocytes. OpTmizer™ CTS™ T-Cell Expansion SFM is a complete serum-free and xeno-free 1X medium consisting of the OpTmizer™ T-Cell Expansion Basal Medium with the addition of the OpTmizer™ T-Cell Expansion Supplement. OpTmizer™ CTS™ T-Cell Expansion Medium is designed for the expansion of CD3+ densities of > 3 x 10° cells/mL in static conditions and > 2 x 10′ cells/ML in Wave bags.

# C. Pre- Clinical Testing

Performance standards under Section 514 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act have been established in "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 are noted in the following table.

| Special Control Objective | Life Technologies Corporation<br>OpTmizerTM CTSTM T-Cell<br>Expansion SFM |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Demonstrate lack of potential toxicity<br>of materials in the media to cells or<br>tissue and demonstrate support of<br>tissue and cell growth | OpTmizer QC Performance Assay |
| Demonstrate lack of endotoxin or<br>pyrogen contamination | Limulus Ameobocyte (LAL) test (25<br>USP Monograph <85>) |
| Validation of Aseptic Processing and<br>Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) | Determination of SAL to be ≥ 10-3<br>compliance with GMP requirements<br>regarding aseptic processing |
| Demonstrate Chemical purity | Incoming Raw Material testing using<br>USP, ACS, FCC, GIBCO, or Cell<br>Culture requirements |

### D. Stability/Shelf-Life

Life Technologies Corporation performs shelf life testing for StemPro® MSC SFM Medium using retained product stored at 20 - 8° C. In addition, a minimum of one new production lot of OpTmizer™ CTS™ T-Cell Expansion SFM is tested each year to verify that the product continues to meet the established shelf life. Based on analysis of product performance over time, Life Technologies Corporation has established a shelf life of twelve months for the OpTmizer™ CTS™ T-Cell Expansion SFM formulation. Stability testing involves the assessment of these functional aspects of media, including demonstrating: (1) that the pH continues to meet specifications; and (2) the media is not cytotoxic and supports the growth of mammalian cells. The pH is tested to demonstrate that the media is not chemically altered during its storage. In assessing cytoxicity, Life Technologies Corporation demonstrates

{2}------------------------------------------------

510(k) Summary - Life Technologies OpTmizer™ CTS™ T-Cell Expansion SFM

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 the studies indicate the container/closure system provides protection from microbial contamination.

# E. Conclusion

OpTmizer™ CTS™ T-Cell Expansion SFM 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. Both products (OpTmizer™ CTS™ T-Cell Expansion SFM and AIM-V® Medium) are manufacturer in accordance with QSR requirements and are labeled as aseptically processed. Thus, OpTmizer™ CTS™ T-Cell Expansion SFM is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed device intended for the human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications.
