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 Round Dish is a sterile, single-use, 60-mm diameter plastic dish used in assisted reproduction laboratories. Manufactured from virgin crystalline polystyrene, the dish features a flat, optically clear surface to facilitate the observation and manipulation of ova and embryos. The lid design supports aseptic handling and consistent venting for proper humidification. The device is used by laboratory personnel to hold gametes or embryos during IVF, GIFT, or related procedures. It is non-pyrogenic and non-embryotoxic, verified via Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) assay and mouse embryotoxicity assay (MEA).
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing includes Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) assay for pyrogenicity (< 20 EU/device) and mouse embryotoxicity assay (MEA) 2-cell method for non-embryotoxicity.
Technological Characteristics
60-mm diameter, 24.07 cm² well area, 23.0 mL well volume. Material: Virgin crystalline polystyrene (USP Class IV, V, VI tested). Surface: Treated for hydrophilic properties. Sterilization: Sterile (SAL 10^-6). Form factor: Round dish with lid.
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.

Dear Mr. Ball:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
