Indications for Use
Vit Kit - Freeze NX (Vitrification Freeze Kit) is intended for use in the vitrification of oocytes (MII) and pronuclear (PN) zygotes through day 3 cleavage stage embryos and blastocyst stage embryos. Vit Kit - Warm NX (Vitrification Warm Kit) is intended for use in the thawing of vitrified occytes (MII) and pronuclear (PN) zygotes through day 3 cleavage stage embryos and blastocyst stage embryos.
Device Story
Vit Kit-Freeze NX and Vit Kit-Warm NX are sets of cryopreservation media used in assisted reproductive technology (ART) laboratories. The kits consist of basal media (Continuous Single Culture Medium) containing buffers (MOPS, HEPES, sodium bicarbonate), cryoprotectants (DMSO, ethylene glycol), trehalose, DSS, HSA, and gentamicin. The Freeze NX kit is used sequentially to prepare and vitrify oocytes and embryos; the Warm NX kit is used sequentially to thaw and recover them. These media facilitate the cryopreservation process, allowing for the storage and subsequent use of oocytes and embryos in clinical fertility treatments. The device is used by embryologists in a clinical laboratory setting. The output is the successful cryopreservation or recovery of reproductive cells/embryos, which supports clinical decision-making regarding embryo transfer and fertility preservation.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance characteristics evaluated at baseline and after accelerated aging (ASTM F1980-16) included appearance, pH (USP <791>), osmolality (USP <785>), endotoxin (USP <85>), sterility (USP <71>), and Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA). Simulated distribution and handling were tested per ASTM D4169-16. All tests met predefined acceptance criteria.
Technological Characteristics
Media components: Continuous Single Culture Medium (CSCM), MOPS, HEPES, sodium bicarbonate, 20% DSS, 10μg/mL gentamicin, DMSO, trehalose, and ethylene glycol. Sterilization via aseptic filtration. Performance standards: USP <791>, <785>, <85>, <71>; ASTM F1980-16 (accelerated aging), ASTM D4169-16 (distribution).
Indications for Use
Indicated for vitrification and thawing of human oocytes (MII), pronuclear (PN) zygotes, day 3 cleavage stage embryos, and blastocyst stage embryos.
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.

Dear Jayme Yamaguchi-Owens:
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.

As shown in the table above, the intended use of the subject and predicate device is the same. The technological characteristics of the subject and predicate device are different - the subject device formulation utilizes trehalose instead of sucrose, has a different basal medium formulation, and different osmolality and pH specifications. However, different types of safety and effectiveness questions are not raised by these differences in technological characteristics.
{8}------------------------------------------------
# Non-clinical Performance Data:
Vit Kit - Freeze NX and Vit Kit - Warm NX media were tested for the following performance characteristics at baseline and following accelerated aging (per ASTM F1980-16):
- . Appearance
- . pH (per USP <791>)
- Osmolality (per USP <785>) .
- Endotoxin (per USP <85>) .
- . Sterility (per USP <71>)
- . Mouse Embryo Assay
The following additional assessments were performed on the subject device:
- Simulated Distribution and Handling per ASTM D4169-16 .
The subject device passed the predefined acceptance criteria for these tests.
#### VIII. Conclusion:
The results of the testing described above provide demonstrate that the subject device is as safe and effective as the predicate device and supports and determination of substantial equivalence.
