Federal law (U.S.A.) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. ## Device Story Single-use, sterile, ultrasound-guided needle set for transvaginal oocyte retrieval. Device consists of 16G or 17G stainless steel needle with echomarking at distal tip for ultrasound visualization; attached to polyurethane (Tecoflex) tubing and silicone sleeve. Used by physicians in clinical settings for assisted reproduction procedures. Needle inserted transvaginally under ultrasound guidance to aspirate oocytes from ovarian follicles; suction applied via tubing connected to external vacuum source. Facilitates oocyte collection for in vitro fertilization; benefits patient by enabling minimally invasive egg retrieval. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing including visual, dimensional, and functional assessments; two-cell mouse embryo assay for toxicity; and bacterial endotoxin (Limulus Amoebocyte Pyrogen) testing. Biological safety assessment performed per ISO 10993-1:1994. ## Technological Characteristics Single-lumen stainless steel needle (16G or 17G, 33cm length); polyurethane (Tecoflex) tubing (750mm); medical grade silicone sleeve (25mm); ABS female luer connector; polypropylene luer lock connector. Features distal echomarking for ultrasound reflection. Sterile, single-use. Tested per ISO 10993-1:1994. ## Regulatory Identification Assisted reproduction needles are devices used in in vitro fertilization (IVF), gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), or other assisted reproduction procedures to obtain gametes from the body or introduce gametes, zygote(s), preembryo(s) and/or embryo(s) into the body. This generic type of device may include a single or double lumen needle and component parts, including needle guides, such as those used with ultrasound. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls) (mouse embryo assay information, endotoxin testing, sterilization validation, design specifications, labeling requirements, biocompatibility testing, and clinical testing). ## Predicate Devices - Assisted reproduction needles (21 CFR 884.6100) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Effective Date: October 13, 1998 | | Description | Wallace Oocyte Retrieval Set is a single-use device provided sterile for ultrasound-
guided, transvaginal recovery and collection of oocytes from ovarian follicles. The set
consists of a single-lumen, stainless steel needle attached to polyurethane (Tecoflex)
tubing 750mm long, using a 25mm long medical grade silicone sleeve. The needle is
33cm in length and available in 16 gauge or 17 gauge, each having echomarking at the
distal tip for ultrasound reflection and a plastic hub at the proximal end for ease of
guidance by hand. Tubing is attached to the hub of the needle and protrudes a total
distance of 700mm until it passes through a silicone bung and terminates in an ABS
female luer connector. FEP tubing for suction also protrudes through the bung, and at the
other end terminates in a polypropylene luer lock connector. | | Intended Use | The Wallace Oocyte Retrieval Set is intended for ultrasound-guided, transvaginal recovery
and collection of oocytes from ovarian follicles. | | Contraindications | Not intended for use in the presence of or after recent pelvic inflammatory disease or
chronic cervical infection.
Not intended for placement of fertilized oocyte(s) into the fallopian tube. | | Caution | Federal law (U.S.A.) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician | | Technological
Characteristics | There are no published standards for these particular types of products, and as such tests
have been developed which are considered sufficient to ensure the efficacy and safety of
the device(s) for its intended use. Such tests include - Visual; Dimensional; Functional;
two-cell Mouse Embryo Assay; and Bacterial Endotoxin (Limulus Amoebocyte Pyrogen)
Test. | | Data Submitted | The biological safety assessment of the Wallace Oocyte Retrieval Set has been performed
in accordance with the International Standard ISO 10993, Part 1:1994, "Biological
Evaluation of Medical Devices: Evaluation and Testing." In addition to ISO 10993 the
selection of tests, taking into consideration the particular application of the product e.g.
collection of human oocytes, embryo toxicity and bacterial endotoxin tests were
performed. | {1}------------------------------------------------ Food and Drug Administration 9200 Corporate Boulevard Rockville MD 20850 **AUG - 3 2001** Miss Clair Mullins Registration Manager SIMS Portex Limited Hythe KENT CT21 6JL UNITED KINGDOM Re: K012068 Wallace Oocyte Retrieval Sets Dated: June 14, 2001 Received: July 2, 2001 Regulatory Class: II 21 CFR §884.6100/Procode: 85 MQE Dear Miss Mullins: We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have decembed the We have reviewed your Section > Inchications of mich to the stated in the online of the markets of endicate devices of to device device is substantially equivalent (tor the macknows to tuse sacontant and Chica Amendments, or to devices, or to devices, or to devices, or to devices of to devices of to de marketed in interstate commerce provisions of the Federal Food, Doug, and Comments Act (Act).
