The medium can also be used for transfer. Two versions of the SAGE 1-Step™ medium are available: - Catalogue no. 6701: SAGE 1-Step™ supplemented with Human Serum Albumin . - Catalogue no. 6702: SAGE 1-Step™ supplemented with Serum Protein Supplement . Both versions of SAGE 1-Step™ are aseptically filtered, light pink, non viscous solutions, which are ready to use by professionals within assisted reproduction. The SAGE 1-Step™ media products are contained in 10 ml or 60 ml transparent Polyethylene Terephthalate Glvcol (PETG) bottles with high density polyethylene (HDPE) cap, available in a card boxes of 1 x 10 ml and 1 x 60 ml bottles. The bottles are individually labeled. The boxes also contain instruction for use provided as package insert. {1}------------------------------------------------ # Compositions: The different types of components included in SAGE 1-Step™ supplemented with Human Serum Albumin and SAGE™ 1 step supplemented with Serum Protein Supplement are provided in table 1. # Indication for use This product is intended for in vitro fertilization and culture of human gametes and embryos from fertilization until Day 5/6 of development. The medium can also be used for embryo transfer. ### Technological Characteristics The design of the SAGE 1-Step™ as well as the predicate listed in this submission, are based on the concept to offer the embryos various components at any time, from fertilization until blastocyst stage. Table 1 compares the technological characteristics of SAGE 1-Step™ with the predicate Global® Total®. Both similarities and differences are illustrated. SAGE 1-Step™ is for fertilization: culture and embryo transfer. Global® Total @ is intended for culture of human embryos from zygote to blastocyst and embryo transfer. In vivo the gametes and zyqote are exposed to the same environment as the spermatozoa fertilizes the oocyte and forms the zyqote in the part of the fallopian tube called the ampulla. Thus, the intended use for the SAGE 1-StepTM is considered comparable to the predicate and the differences are not considered to represent a new intended use nor does it pose any safety or effectiveness issues. | Product | SAGE 1-Step™ (REF 6701) | SAGE 1-Step™ (REF 6702) | Global® Total® | |------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Intended use | This product is intended for the in vitro fertilization and culture of human gametes and embryos from fertilization until Day 5/6 of development.

The technological characteristics of SAGE 1-Step™ are comparable to those of the predicate device. The main differences are: - Protein supplementation: SAGE 1-Step™ is available in two ready-to-use formulations with . either Serum Protein Supplementation (REF 6702) or Human Serum Albumin (REF 6701) as protein source. The protein source of the predicate is LGPS which is similar to Serum Protein Supplementation as they both contain albumin and globulins. Human Serum Albumin is different from the protein source in the predicate, it is however a standard protein supplement used in other cleared devices for continuous culture such as Irvine Scientific Continuous Single Culture Complete (K121572). - Sodium Hyaluronate: SAGE 1-Step™ supplemented with Human Serum Albumin is further . added Sodium Hyaluronate as a supplement to albumin. Sodium Hyaluronate is a well known component in other ART media (VitroLifes G-series (K081114, K081117, K031015)) and hyaluronan is naturally found in the female reproductive tract. Thus the addition of Sodium Hyaluronate in SAGE 1-Step™ supplemented with Human Serum Albumin (REF 6701) is not considered to represent a new technology when compared to the predicate. - Lactate: SAGE 1-Step™ contains Ca-L-Lactate whereas the predicate contains Na-DL-. Lactate.. The concentration of L-lactate in SAGE 1-Step™ is comparable with the concentration of L-lactate in the predicate. - Magnesium Sulphate is added in a higher concentration compared to the predicate. . However other culture media e.g Quinn 's Advantage media (K002836) also contain higher concentrations of Magnesium Sulphate and it is judged that it will not influence the performance or safety compared to the predicate device . - Calcium: Calcium is added in the form of Ca-Lactate whereas the predicate contains Na-. Lactate. The Calcium concentration in SAGE 1-Step™ is similar to the predicate and therefore it has no impact. {3}------------------------------------------------ - Stable L-Glutamine: Both SAGE 1-Step™ and the predicate contains a stable form of glutamine. Both Alanyl-Glutamine used in SAGE 1-STEP™ and Glycyl-Glutamine used in the predicate are widely used in ART media and have a history of safe use. The differences in composition do not impact the substantial equivalence and do not raise any new types of safety or effectiveness concern. #### Performance data The product specifications for SAGE 1-Step™ and the predicate are similar regarding sterility, pH, and Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA) test. However, the endotoxin levels varies. Endotoxin is <0.50 EU/mL for Global® Total®. For SAGE 1-Step™ the endotoxin limit is <0.15 EU/mL. Regarding the osmolality, the specification limit is a bit wider for SAGE 1-Step™ (257-273 mOsm/kg) than for the predicate (260-270 mOsm/kg). The shelf life of SAGE 1-Step™ has been validated in stability studies to 14 weeks. The parameters which have been tested in the stability studies through shelf life includes pH, osmolality, endotoxin. HSA concentration, MEA, and sterility. In general, SAGE 1-Step" medium is subject to the same control methods and, to a significant dearee, contain the same components as the predicate device. SAGE 1-Step™ has similar handling procedures and storage conditions. Therefore, SAGE 1-Step™ is considered substantially equivalent to the predicate device Global® Total®. #### Biocompatibility SAGE 1-Step™ is categorized as a medium in direct contact with gametes and embryos from OHOE Y-otep " is categorized as a median in direct contact with gameter and childryou franser, it is also in direct contact with the uterus (patient). The biological safety evaluation (ISO 10993-1) demonstrates that SAGE 1-Step™ medium, consist of well tested components and is non-toxic in use. SAGE 1-Step™ is therefore considered safe for fertilization and culture of human gametes and embryos as well as transfer of embryos back into the patient (uterus). #### Conclusion The conclusion from the performance and safety data, intended use comparison, product formulation comparison, and test specification comparison, demonstrates that the SAGE 1-Step™ supplemented with Human Serum Albumin and SAGE 1-Step™ supplemented with Serum Protein Supplement are suitable for its intended use, and meets the criteria in the comparison to the predicate device LifeGlobal Global® Total® (K112083). {4}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/4/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.
