Intended Use

G-TL™ is a medium for culture of embryos from fertilization to blastocyst stage.

Device Story

G-TL™ is an aseptically filtered, bicarbonate-buffered physiological medium used by assisted reproduction professionals. It supports human embryo development from fertilization through the blastocyst stage. The medium is supplied in a 30ml PETG bottle and requires warming to 37°C and equilibration in a CO2 environment prior to use. It contains essential salts, amino acids, vitamins, hyaluronan, and gentamicin. The device provides a controlled environment for embryo culture, facilitating development in vitro. Clinical benefit is derived from its role in maintaining embryo viability during the culture period.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance was validated using the one-cell mouse embryo assay (MEA) comparing G-TL™ to the predicate device (CSC™ Complete). Results showed no differences in embryo development or viability. Shelf life was validated through stability studies up to 21 weeks.

Technological Characteristics

Aseptically filtered, bicarbonate-buffered physiological salt solution. Contains Gentamicin (antibacterial) and therapeutic human serum albumin (HSA). Includes taurine, hyaluronan, and vitamins (calcium pantothenate, pyridoxine, thiamine, riboflavin). pH 7.30 ±0.1; osmolality 270 ±5 mOsm/Kg. Sterility level SAL 10^-3; endotoxin <0.25 EU/ml. Packaged in 30ml PETG bottles with HDPE closures. Storage: dark at +2 to 8°C.

Indications for Use

Indicated for the culture of human embryos from fertilization to the blastocyst stage in an in vitro environment.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Reproductive media and supplement are products that are used for assisted reproduction procedures. Media include liquid and powder versions of various substances that come in direct physical contact with human gametes or embryos (including water, acid solutions used to treat gametes or embryos, rinsing solutions, sperm separation media, supplements, or oil used to cover the media) for the purposes of preparation, maintenance, transfer or storage. Supplements are specific reagents added to media to enhance specific properties of the media (e.g., proteins, sera, antibiotics, etc.).

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls) (mouse embryo assay information, endotoxin testing, sterilization validation, design specifications, labeling requirements, biocompatibility testing, and clinical testing). The device, when it is phosphate-buffered saline used for washing, and short-term handling and manipulation of gametes and embryos; culture oil used as an overlay for culture media containing gametes and embryos; and water for assisted reproduction applications, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 884.9.

Above the word, there is the text "K133568" and "pg. 2 of 5". To the right of the word, there is a black curved line. #### Description of the device: G-TL™ is an aseptically filtered and manufactured bicarbonate-buffered physiological medium ready to use after warming to 37°C and equilibration in a CO2 environment. It is designed to be used by professionals within assisted reproduction. G-TL™ is intended for the culture of human embryos from fertilization to the time of embryo transfer. G-TL™ is contained within a 30ml transparent polyethyleneterephthalate glycol (PETG) bottle with high density polyethylene (HDPE) closures. Both the bottle and box are individually labeled and each box contains a package insert. #### Indication for Use: G-TL™ is a medium for culture of embryos from fertilization to blastocyst stage. #### Technical Characteristics: CSC™ Complete and G-TL™ are aseptically filtered, physiological salt solutions containing pharmaceutical grade Gentamicin as an antibacterial agent and therapeutic human serum albumin (HSA). The predicate and new device are bicarbonate-buffered media for human embryo culture and are ready to use after warming to 37 ℃ and equilibration in a CO2 environment. The predicate and new device have the same sterility level (SAL 10 3), endotoxin level (<0.25 EU/ml), mouse embryo assay (≥80% expanded blastocyst on day 5) and storage conditions (store dark at +2 to 8°C). Physical specifications (pH and osmolality) are in the same physiological range for the predicate and new device (see Table 1). The indications for use are also the same as CSC™ Complete is a culture medium for human gametes and embryos from fertilization through day 5/6 of development in vitro. {2}------------------------------------------------ Name: G-TL™ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the word "Vitrolife" in a large, bold font. Above the word, there is the text "K133568" and "pg. 3 of 5". To the right of the word, there is a curved line. 3 | Table 1.

Thus, there are no concerns with regards to substantial equivalence or safety and efficacy. There are six chemical composition differences when comparing CSC™ Complete to G-TL™ (see Table 2). - Taurine is a derivative of the amino acid cysteine and is present in G-TL™. . Taurine is present in 510(k) cleared devices for embryo culture from day 1-5 (Early Cleavage Medium® K033462 and MultiBlast Media™ K034063: Invine Scientific). - G-TL™ contains a macromolecule named hyaluronan. Hyaluronan is widely distributed throughout tissues and is the major glycosaminoglycan present in follicular, oviductal and uterine fluid. Hyaluronan has been included in Vitrolife's Sequential Media for in vitro embryo culture G-1™/G-2™ version 3 (K022244 and K021890) since 2005 and continued with G-1™/G-2™ v5 (K081114 and K081117). {3}------------------------------------------------ Name: G-TL™ K133568 Image /page/3/Picture/1 description: The image shows the word "Vitrolife" in a large, bold font, with the letters in black. Above the word, there is the text ". K133568 pg. 4 of 5". To the right of the word "Vitrolife", there is a black curved line that resembles a check mark. - Four vitamins (calcium pantothenate, pyridoxine, thiamine and riboflavin) are . present in G-TL™. Vitamins have been included in Vitrolife's media (K021890 and K081117) and are also found in Origio's EmbryoAssist (K080473) and BlastAssist (K080172) Orgio. The differences in composition do not affect substantial equivalence and raise no concerns regarding safety and efficacy. Furthermore, animal studies during product development demonstrate that G-TL™ is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. | Table 2 Chemical composition | | | |-------------------------------|------------------|---------| | | CSC™<br>Complete | G-TL™ | | | K121572 | K133568 | | Sodium Chloride | X | X | | Potassium<br>Chloride | X | X | | Calcium Chloride | X | X | | Magnesium<br>Sulfate | X | X | | Sodium/Potassium<br>Phosphate | X | X | | Sodium<br>Bicarbonate | X | X | | Sodium pyruvate | X | X | | Glucose | X | X | | Sodium L- lactate | X | X | | EDTA | X | X | | Sodium Citrate | X | X | {4}------------------------------------------------ Name: G-TL™ K133568 Image /page/4/Picture/1 description: The image shows the word "Vitrolife" in a large, bold font.

G-TL™ was compared to CSC™ Complete using the one-cell mouse embryo assay (MEA). There were no differences in embryo development or viability. Therefore, G-TL is considered substantially equivalent to the predicate device CSC™ Complete (K121572). #### Conclusions: The data demonstrates that the new device (G-TL™) is as safe and effective as the predicate device. The data also supports the determination of substantial equivalence between the predicate and new device. {5}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/5/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
