Intended Use

The Soules Intrauterine Insemination Catheter is used to access the infusion sonohysterography or for the introduction of washed spermatozoa into the uterine cavity.

Device Story

Soules Intrauterine Insemination Catheter is a 5.3 French, 25 cm polyethylene catheter with a female luer adapter hub. Device features an oval side port near the distal tip and an adjustable 3 mm silicone positioner on the shaft to aid depth control. Used by clinicians to access the uterine cavity for saline infusion sonohysterography or to deliver washed spermatozoa. The device is inserted into the uterus; the positioner is adjusted to the target depth; fluids or sperm are injected via the luer hub. The device facilitates assisted reproduction and diagnostic imaging procedures, potentially improving procedural accuracy and patient outcomes through controlled delivery.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance testing included sterilization validation (ISO 11135-1, ISO 10993-7), package integrity (ASTM F2096, F88, F1886), Human Sperm Survival Assay (≥70% motility at 24 hours), endotoxin assay (AAMI ST72, USP/NF <85>), dimensional analysis, injection leak testing, air aspiration testing, tensile testing, and biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1, -5, -10). All tests met predetermined acceptance criteria.

Technological Characteristics

Polyethylene catheter (5.3 Fr, 25 cm) and hub. Features a single oval side port and adjustable silicone depth positioner. Sterilized via EtO. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1. Performance standards include ASTM F2096-04 (bubble leak), ASTM F88-09 (seal strength), ASTM F1886-09 (visual inspection), and AAMI ST72:2011 (endotoxin).

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing saline infusion sonohysterography or intrauterine insemination procedures requiring the introduction of washed spermatozoa into the uterine cavity.

In addition, the subject and predicate devices are similar in some technological features, including design (e.g., tip and hub design), usability, hub adapter, and sterility procedure. However, there are a number of differences between the subject and predicate device that are described below: - . Device materials - Some of the device materials (e.g., tubing, hub, depth indicator) are not the same. Materials differences are common in ART devices and do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness, and can be addressed through testing (e.g., biocompatibility, performance). - Device dimensions - The subject device has differences in device dimensions (e.g., greater length). These differences do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness. - Device Design- The subject device has an adjustable silicone depth indicator ● whereas the predicate device has five graduation ink marks on the catheter. In addition, the subject device has a single side port whereas the predicate device a double side port. The subject device is a single catheter whereas the predicate device has an inner catheter with a detachable outer sheath that attaches to the inner catheter. The differences between the device designs do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness (e.g., ability to access the uterine cavity, risk of perforation, etc.). ## Performance Testing: The following tests were performed to demonstrate that the proposed Soules Intrauterine Insemination Catheter met the applicable design and performance requirements and support a determination of substantial equivalence under the specified testing parameters. These tests include: - Sterilization Validation per ISO 11135-1:2007 and ISO 10993-7: 2008. 1. - 2. Package integrity testing following real-time aging: - Bubble leak test per ASTM F2096-04 . - . Seal strength testing per ASTM F88-09 - Visual Inspection per ASTM F1886-09 ● {6}------------------------------------------------ - 3. Human Sperm Survival Assay - Testing ensures manufacturing materials do not have an adverse effect upon the survival of Human Sperm. Test articles assessed provided acceptable results of ≥ 70% motility at 24 hours. - Endotoxin Assay (AAMI ST72: 2011 and UPS/NF <85>) <20 4. EU/device less - న్. Dimensional Analysis - Testing was performed with the requirement that specific product dimensions should be within set tolerances. The results showed that the predetermined acceptance criteria were met. - Injection Leak Testing completed to ensure the device can withstand 6. pressure from injection. - Air Aspiration Testing completed to ensure the device does not 7. leak during aspiration. The predetermined acceptance criterion was met. - 8. Tensile Test – Testing ensures the tensile strength of the hub to shaft bond. - 9. Biocompatibility - Biocompatibility testing was conducted according to ISO 10993-1-2009. Testing included cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5:2009). intracutaneous reactivity (ISO 10993-10:2010), and sensitization (ISO 10993-10:2010). The test articles assessed provided acceptable results as no signs of cytotoxicity, sensitization or irritation reactions were noted in testing. - 10. Shelf-life testing was conducted to ensure that the following product specifications were met to support a three-year shelf-life: - Tensile testing - Injection leak testing ● - Dimensional analysis - HSSA testing ● - Air Aspiration ● ## Conclusion: The results of the testing described above demonstrate that the Soules Intrauterine Insemination Catheter is as safe and effective as the predicate device and supports a determination of substantial equivalence.
