The FALCON® IVF Round Dish is intended for use in preparing, storing, manipulating, or transferring human gametes or embryos for in vitro fertilization (IVF), gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), or other reproduction procedures.
Device Story
FALCON® IVF One Well Dish is a sterile, single-use 60-mm plastic dish used in assisted reproduction laboratories. It provides a flat, optically clear surface for the manipulation and observation of human ova and embryos. The device features a well area of 2.45 cm2 and a total volume of 20 mL. Lids are designed for aseptic handling and consistent venting to maintain humidification. The dish is used by embryologists or clinicians in a laboratory setting to support the preparation, storage, and transfer of gametes and embryos during IVF or GIFT procedures. It serves as a controlled environment for biological samples, facilitating clinical decision-making by allowing for the safe handling and assessment of embryos prior to implantation.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only: device is sterile (SAL 10-9), non-pyrogenic (LAL < 20 EU/device), and non-embryotoxic as verified by the mouse embryotoxicity assay (MEA) 2-cell method. Materials tested for USP Class IV, V, and VI cytotoxicity.
Technological Characteristics
Single-use 60-mm dish manufactured from virgin crystalline polystyrene. Surface treated to be hydrophilic. Well area 2.45 cm2; well volume 2.5 mL; total volume 20 mL. Optically clear. Vented lid design. Sterilized to SAL 10-9. Non-pyrogenic and non-embryotoxic.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in preparing, storing, manipulating, or transferring human gametes or embryos for IVF, GIFT, or other assisted reproduction techniques.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Assisted reproduction labware consists of laboratory equipment or supplies intended to prepare, store, manipulate, or transfer human gametes or embryos for in vitro fertilization (IVF), gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), or other assisted reproduction procedures. These include syringes, IVF tissue culture dishes, IVF tissue culture plates, pipette tips, dishes, plates, and other vessels that come into physical contact with gametes, embryos or tissue culture media.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls) (mouse embryo assay information, endotoxin testing, sterilization validation, design specifications, labeling requirements, and clinical testing). The device, when it is a dish or plate intended for general assisted reproduction technology procedures, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 884.9.
