Intended Use

The Swemed Pipettes are intended to be used to denude, micromanipulate, hold or transfer human gametes or embryos for assisted hatching, ISCI, or other assisted reproduction methods.

Device Story

Swemed Pipettes are specialized glass microtools for assisted reproductive technology (ART). The set includes ICSI micro-injection, holding, denuding, and assisted hatching/zona drilling pipettes. Used in clinical laboratory settings by embryologists or trained technicians. ICSI pipettes facilitate single sperm injection; holding pipettes use vacuum to stabilize oocytes; denuding pipettes remove cumulus cells; hatching pipettes create openings in the zona pellucida. These tools enable precise manipulation of gametes and embryos, supporting fertilization and embryo development processes. The devices are single-use, dry-heat sterilized, and designed to interface with standard micromanipulation equipment.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Borosilicate glass microtools. Dimensions: ID 0.0048–0.190 mm, OD 0.0068–0.280 mm, length 50–90 mm. ICSI, holding, and hatching pipettes feature 30–35° beveled tips; denuding pipettes have non-beveled tips. Single-use, dry heat sterilized. Packaged in rubber holders within aluminum foil seals.

Indications for Use

Indicated for assisted reproduction procedures: ICSI micro-injection pipettes for single sperm injection of oocytes; holding pipettes for oocyte stabilization via vacuum; denuding pipettes for cumulus cell layer removal; assisted hatching/zona drilling pipettes for creating holes in the zona pellucida.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Assisted reproduction microtools are pipettes or other devices used in the laboratory to denude, micromanipulate, hold, or transfer human gametes or embryos for assisted hatching, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), or other assisted reproduction methods.

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 the assisted reproduction microtools (pipettes) are manufactured from glass, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 884.9.

#### Intended Use

The Swemed Pipettes are intended to be used to denude, micromanipulate, hold or transfer human gametes or embryos for assisted hatching, ISCI, or other assisted reproduction methods.

# Indications for Use

The Swemed Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) Micro-Injection Pipettes are used for the intracytoplasmic single sperm injection of occytes; the Swemed Holding Pipettes are used to hold the occyte in position with the application of vacuum during single sperm injection with the micro-injection pipette; the Swemed Denuding Pipettes are used to remove the cumulus cell layers; and the Swemed Assisted Hatching/Zona Drilling Pipettes are used to make a hole in the zona pellucida to enable embryo assisted hatching.

#### Technological Characteristics

The Swemed Pipettes are manufactured by Swemed of borosilicate glass. The pipettes have inner diameters ranging from .0048 - . 190 mm and outer diameters ranging from . 0068 - . 280 mm. The pipette length ranges from 50 to 90 mm. The Denuding Pipette does not have a beveled tip. The ICSI, the holding, and the Assisted Hatching/Zona Drilling Pipettes have a 30-35° beveled tip. The pipettes are packaged in a rubber holder together with a glass tube. The tube is then provided in a seal made of aluminum foil. The pipette is dry heat sterilized by Swemed Lab International. The pipette is intended for single use only.

### Basis for Substantial Equivalence

The Swemed Pipettes have the same intended use as the predicate devices, the Cook Pipettes: to denude, micromanipulate, hold or transfer human gametes or embryos for assisted hatching, ICSI, or other assisted reproduction methods. The Swemed Pipettes also have the same indications for use as the predicate devices, the Cook Pipettes: the Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) Micro-Injection Pipettes are used for the intracytoplasmic single sperm injection of occytes; the Holding Pipettes are used to hold the oocyte in position with the application of vacuum during single sperm injection with the micro-injection pipette; the Denuding Pipettes are used to remove the cumulus cell layers; and the Assisted Hatching/Zona Drilling Pipettes are used to make a hole in the zona pellucida to enable embryo assisted hatching. Except for two minor features, the Swemed Pipettes and the Cook Pipettes are very similar devices. The primary differences between the Swemed Pipettes and the Cook Pipettes are that: (1) the inside and outside diameters, pipette lengths, and bevel angles are slightly different; and (2) the Cook Denuding Pipettes can be ordered with a mouth aspiration tubing line, whereas the Swemed Denuding Pipettes are intended for use with a vacuum device. These minor differences do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the device.
