- Cook's Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis Pipettes (Biopsy Pipettes) (K033904) .
The predicate device for the Sperm Extraction Pipettes is as follows:
- Cook's Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), Micro-Injection Pipettes, Holding ● Pipettes, Denuding Pipettes, and Assisted Hatching/Zona Drilling Pipettes (K033903)
### Device Description:
The Embryo Biopsy, Polar Body Biopsy, and Testicular Sperm Extraction Pipettes are 970 microns (um) outer diameter borosilicate glass tubing that is bent and tapered. The Embryo Biopsy Pipette is tapered to a flat, smooth tip inner diameter of 30 um and 35 um. It is intended to be used for blastomere or trophectoderm aspiration. The Polar Body Biopsy Pipette is tapered to an inner diameter of 20 um and beveled to a spike to assist in piercing through the zona pellucida to biopsy the polar body. The Testicular Sperm Extraction Pipette is tapered to a flat angle with an inner diameter of 6.5 um. These pipettes are intended to extract sperm cells from biopsied testicular tissue. The device is supplied gamma sterilized and is intended for one-time use.
### Intended Use:
The Embryo Biopsy Pipette is intended to aspirate a blastomere or trophectoderm to diagnose genetic disorders prior to embryo selection.
The Polar Body Biopsy Pipette is intended to aspirate polar bodies to diagnose genetic disorders prior to embryo selection.
The Testicular Sperm Extraction Pipette is intended to extract sperm cells from biopsied testicular tissue.
### Comparison to Predicates:
The Embryo Biopsy Pipette and the Polar Body Pipette have the same intended use as K033904 - aspiration of embryo tissues/cells for genetic diagnosis.
{5}------------------------------------------------
The Testicular Sperm Extraction Pipette has the same intended us as K033903 - to manipulate sperm during ART procedures.
The proposed devices have the same technological characteristics (design material, comparable dimensions) as the predicate devices.
# Performance Testing:
The Embryo Biopsy, Polar Body Biopsy, and Testicular Sperm Extraction Pipettes were subjected to testing as to assure validation of design and performance as listed below. In addition, the Embryo Biopsy, Polar Body Biopsy, and Testicular Sperm Extraction Pipettes undergo MEA and LAL testing for each lot manufactured.
- 1. MEA Testing The Embryo Biopsy, Polar Body Biopsy, and Testicular Sperm Extraction Pipettes underwent lot release Mouse Embryo Assay testing. The acceptance criterion was that ≥80% 1 cell stage embryos must develop to blastocyst within 96 hours. The predetermined acceptance criterion was met.
- 2. LAL Testing The Embryo Biopsy, Polar Body Biopsy, and Testicular Sperm Extraction Pipettes were lot-release tested using the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) test. The devices must demonstrate < 20 EU/device. The predetermined acceptance criterion was met.
- 3. Functionality Study The Embryo Biopsy Pipettes were tested to show evidence that glass pipettes fitted to a micromanipulator, micro-injector, and Micro-injector holder are capable of aspirating fluid without breaking or leaking. The predetermined acceptance criterion was met.
- 4. Shelf Life The results of accelerated and real-time aging studies demonstrate that the subject devices maintain their sterility and functional performance characteristics over their proposed shelf life.
- 5. Sterilization Validation Sterilization validation was performed in accordance with FDA recognized standards.
{6}------------------------------------------------
### Conclusion:
The results of these tests support a conclusion that the Embryo Biopsy Aspiration, Polar Body Biopsy, and Testicular Sperm Extraction Pipettes are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
