Intended Use
The Vitrolife Culture Dish 60 mm, Vitrolife Culture Dish 40 mm and Vitrolife Centre Well Dish are intended for IVF, suitable for use in preparing, storing, manipulating, or transferring human gametes or embryos for in vitro fertilization (IVF), gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), or other reproduction procedures. The Vitrolife 5 Well Culture Dish is intended for preparing, storing, manipulating or transferring human gametes or embryos for in vitro fertilization (IVF), or other in vitro fertilization techniques. The Vitrolife ICSI Dish is intended for IVF, suitable for holding oocytes and sperm during fertilization via intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The Vitrolife Micro Droplet Culture Dish is intended for IVF. It may be used with sperm and for the culturing of embryos using drop culture.
Device Story
Disposable injection-molded polystyrene dishes; used in IVF clinics by embryologists/technicians for handling, culturing, and storing human gametes and embryos. Dishes feature various well configurations (single, multi-well, micro-droplet) and square or round geometries to facilitate stacking and handling. Some models include patient ID areas to prevent mix-ups; specific well shapes (e.g., ramps) prevent embryo entrapment. Devices are non-pyrogenic, non-embryotoxic, and terminally sterilized via gamma irradiation. Used as passive containers; output is the physical environment for gamete/embryo maintenance during IVF procedures. Benefits include improved handling efficiency, reduced risk of sample mix-ups, and optimized conditions for embryo development.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Evidence includes USP Class VI cytotoxicity testing, LAL testing for non-pyrogenicity, and 1-cell Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA) for non-embryotoxicity. No clinical data presented.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Virgin crystal grade polystyrene (USP Class VI). Design: Injection-molded, disposable, single-use dishes with lids. Sterilization: Gamma irradiation (SAL 10^-6). Features: Optically clear, non-treated surfaces, vented lids, various well configurations (1, 5, 12 wells), square or round outer geometry, patient ID areas.
Indications for Use
Indicated for IVF procedures including preparation, storage, manipulation, or transfer of human gametes or embryos; includes GIFT, ICSI, and drop culture techniques. For professional use in clinical IVF settings.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Assisted reproduction labware consists of laboratory equipment or supplies intended to prepare, store, manipulate, or transfer human gametes or embryos for in vitro fertilization (IVF), gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), or other assisted reproduction procedures. These include syringes, IVF tissue culture dishes, IVF tissue culture plates, pipette tips, dishes, plates, and other vessels that come into physical contact with gametes, embryos or tissue culture media.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls) (mouse embryo assay information, endotoxin testing, sterilization validation, design specifications, labeling requirements, and clinical testing). The device, when it is a dish or plate intended for general assisted reproduction technology procedures, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 884.9.

#### Dear Mr. Dörge:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
