Intended Use

Medi-Cult PVP products are used for decreasing the motility and movements of sperm before ICSI.

Device Story

Medi-Cult PVP Medium is a chemical solution used in IVF and ART laboratories. It is applied by embryologists or laboratory technicians to sperm samples prior to ICSI procedures. The medium functions by increasing the viscosity of the surrounding fluid, which physically slows or restricts sperm motility, facilitating the capture and immobilization of individual sperm for injection into an oocyte. This process assists the clinician in performing the ICSI procedure effectively. The device is intended for professional use in a clinical setting.

Clinical Evidence

The submission references clinical trials and peer-reviewed publications confirming the performance of Medi-Cult PVP Medium and related products in IVF and ART procedures. No specific quantitative metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity) are provided in the summary.

Technological Characteristics

The device is a chemical medium formulated for sperm immobilization. It is a liquid-based product intended for in vitro use. No specific materials, energy sources, or software components are described.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in clinical laboratories to decrease sperm motility and movement prior to Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) procedures.

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.

B5. 510(k) Summary

## 510(k) Summary Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Information Supporting a Substantially Equivalent Determination

The media "Medi-Cult PVP Medium" for support of In-Vitro fertilisation has been used extensively over a number of years to the satisfaction of the users at the IVF- and ART- clinics and laboratories.

There have been some registered complaints on the product, but there is no evidence in the last 1.5 year that the product has been the cause of any serious adverse events in connection with its intended use.

A number of trials have shown that the Medi-Cult PVP Medium and other products performs well. (see Clinical Testing section reference list). A number of publications in peer- reviewed books or journals have presented data using Medi-Cult media. Often more than one product from Medi-Cult has been used in the studies listed.

Thus based on the Federal Register Notice (Final Rule, Vol. 63, No. 175, page 48429, September 10, 1998), "Obstetric and Gynecologic Devices; Reclassification and Classification of Medical Devices Used for In-Vitro Fertilization and Related Assisted Reproduction Procedures" effective on October 13, 1998 and the supportive clinical data we feel that the safety and effectiveness of the product for its intended use is shown in the present submission.
