Indications for Use
The EmbryoSlide culture dish is intended for preparing, storing, and transferring human embryos. It is intended to be used only with the EmbryoScope device.
Device Story
EmbryoSlide culture dish is a specialized labware component used in assisted reproduction. It holds up to 12 human embryos in individual micro-wells for incubation within the EmbryoScope device. The device features a central depression in each well to position embryos for imaging. New design includes four additional wells for rinsing and handling embryos before or after incubation. The dish is used by embryologists in clinical laboratories. It facilitates embryo culture and observation within the EmbryoScope system, supporting clinical decision-making regarding embryo selection for transfer. Benefits include standardized handling and optimized environment for embryo development.

Cytotoxicity testing performed per USP <87> and ISO 10993-5 (grade ≤ 2). Bacterial endotoxin testing performed per USP <85> and <161> (result < 20 EU/device). Sterilization validated per ISO 11737. Shelf life validated via accelerated aging.
Technological Characteristics
Polystyrene culture dish with 12 incubation wells (25 ul volume, 250 um diameter) and 4 handling/rinsing wells. Sterilized via electron beam radiation (SAL 10^-6). Validated per ISO 11737. Cytotoxicity testing per USP <87>/ISO 10993-5. Endotoxin testing per USP <85>/<161>.
Indications for Use
Indicated for preparing, storing, and transferring human embryos in an assisted reproduction laboratory setting. Intended for use exclusively with the EmbryoScope device.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

#### 3. PREDICATE AND REFERENCE DEVICES
- K092183. Vitrolife A/S EmbryoSlide culture dish (Predicate device) ●
- K070047, Nunc IVF 4-Well Dish (Reference device) ●
#### 4. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Vitrolife A/S EmbryoSlide culture dish is intended for preparing, storing, and transferring human embryos. The Vitrolife A/S EmbryoSlide culture dish is intended to be used with the EmbryoScope device that was previously cleared via K092183, K111715 and K133712. A previous version of the EmbryoSlide culture dish was cleared via K092183. Minor modifications have been made to the original EmbryoSlide culture dish as described below.
The proposed EmbryoSlide culture dish contains two types of wells which are only used
{4}------------------------------------------------
for rinsing and handling the embryos before or after incubation and wells in which the embryos reside during incubation. The original EmbryoSlide culture dish included only wells for which the embryos reside during incubation.
This EmbryoSlide culture dishfits exactly on the culture dish holder in the incubator and holds a maximum of 12 embryos in separate micro wells. As with the original EmbryoSlide culture dish, the proposed EmbryoSlide culture dish contains a large oil reservoir with 12 wells for the incubation of 12 individual embryos. Each well has a volume of 25 ul. Inside each well there is a central depression where the embryo rests. The well has a diameter of approximately 250 um.
As described above, the proposed EmbryoSlide culture dish includes 4 special wells, two at each end of the culture dish that are intended for rinsing and general handling of the embryos either before or after incubation. Like the other wells, these handling/rinsing wells are designed to hold a volume of 25ul.
#### ട. INTENDED USE
The EmbryoSlide culture dish is intended for preparing, and transferring human embryos. It is intended to be used only with the EmbryoScope device.
#### 6. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
The subject and predicate device have the following differences in technological characteristics: addition of rinsing wells to the culture dish, changes to the dimensions of the dish, the use of a different polystyrene formulation, and modifications to the device packaging. The differences in technological characteristics do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
#### PERFORMANCE TESTING 7.
The EmbryoSlide® culture dish is tested per LOT for performance by 1-cell Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA) testing, which requires a blastocyst rate of at least 80% at 96 hours for adequate performance.
The EmbryoSlide® culture dish was tested for in vitro cytotoxicity in cultured mammalian cells. The test was performed in accordance with the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) <87> and the ISO 10993-5 guidelines. Based on the results, EmbryoSlide® culture dish passes the requirements of ISO 10993-5 and USP <87> as the cytotoxicity grade was ≤ 2.
The EmbryoSlide® culture dish is tested per LOT for bacterial endotoxins using the kinetic chromogenic method. The test of the undiluted extract (the test solution) was performed in
{5}------------------------------------------------
accordance with the US Pharmacopeia <85> and <161>. The test solution contained less than 20 EU/device, which is the maximum, as stated in the USP <85> and <161>.
The EmbryoSlide® culture dish devices are sterilized under controlled conditions via electron beam radiation. The minimum dose has been validated according to ISO 11737 to a sterility assurance level of 10-6.
Shelf life was determined through an accelerated aging study evaluating the package integrity and MEA.
## Conclusion
The performance testing demonstrates that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the proposed predicate device.
