Indications for Use
The Wallace Dual Lumen Oocyte Recovery System is a sterile, single-use device for ultrasonic-guided transvaginal collection of oocytes from the ovarian follicles.
Device Story
The Wallace Dual Lumen Oocyte Recovery System is a sterile, single-use needle assembly used by clinicians for oocyte retrieval. The device consists of a 17-gauge, 33 cm stainless steel dual-lumen needle with a plastic hub, connected to aspiration, flushing, and vacuum tubing. During an assisted reproduction procedure, the clinician uses ultrasound guidance to insert the needle transvaginally into the ovarian follicles. The central lumen allows for the aspiration of oocytes into a sample tube via a vacuum source, while the secondary lumen allows for the flushing of follicles. The device facilitates the collection of oocytes for subsequent laboratory processing. By providing a dedicated dual-lumen design, the system enables efficient follicle flushing and oocyte recovery, supporting clinical decision-making in fertility treatments.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included sterilization validation (ISO 11135), biocompatibility (ISO 10993-5, -10), shelf-life/stability (ASTM F1980-16), package integrity (ASTM F88, F1886), endotoxin testing (ANSI/AAMI ST72, USP <85>), and mechanical performance (joint strength, penetration force, stiffness, flow rate, leak testing). Mouse embryo assay (MEA) confirmed embryotoxicity safety with ≥80% blastocyst development. Simulated shipping (ISTA 3A) was also performed.
Indicated for ultrasonic-guided transvaginal collection of oocytes from ovarian follicles in patients undergoing assisted reproduction procedures.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Assisted reproduction needles are devices used in in vitro fertilization (IVF), gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), or other assisted reproduction procedures to obtain gametes from the body or introduce gametes, zygote(s), preembryo(s) and/or embryo(s) into the body. This generic type of device may include a single or double lumen needle and component parts, including needle guides, such as those used with ultrasound.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls) (mouse embryo assay information, endotoxin testing, sterilization validation, design specifications, labeling requirements, biocompatibility testing, and clinical testing).

Dear Christine Kupchick:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.

The predicate device has not been subject to a design-related recall.
#### Device Description
The Wallace Dual Lumen Oocyte Recovery System consists of a dual lumen stainless steel needle with a plastic needle hub, and aspiration, flushing, and vacuum tubing. The needle hub acts as a handle and is designed for the user to hold between the thumb and index finger. It has two ports: the central port through which oocytes are aspirated via the central lumen, and a secondary side port to allow flushing of follicles via the secondary lumen that is attached to the flushing tubing. The needle aspiration tubing connects to a silicone bung that allows connection to a sample tube. The silicone bung is also connected to the vacuum tubing that allows connection to a vacuum source.
The Wallace Dual Lumen Oocyte Recovery System consists of a 17 gauge needle that is 33 cm long, and three aspiration tubing lengths: 500, 750, and 950 mm. The system includes flushing tubing of 700 mm length and vacuum tubing of 500 mm length. The device is provided sterile and is for single-use only.

The Wallace Dual Lumen Oocyte Recovery System and the predicate device (K031622) have identical Indications for Use statements; therefore, their intended uses are the same.
The subject and predicate device have different technological characteristics. The Wallace Dual Lumen Oocyte Recovery System is a modification of the Wallace Dual Lumen Oocyte Retrieval Sets (K031622). The modifications include:
- Dimensional differences including needle gauges offered and tubing lengths provided.
- Differences in device materials.
- Differences in the design of needle hubs and connectors. ●
The technological differences identified do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate.
