These devices are used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals. By providing a controlled pathway for gamete delivery, the catheters assist in reproductive medicine, potentially improving the success of fertility treatments. ## Technological Characteristics Catheter-based devices for reproductive procedures. Specific materials and dimensions are not detailed in the provided documentation. ## Regulatory Identification Assisted reproduction catheters are devices used in in vitro fertilization (IVF), gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), or other assisted reproduction procedures to introduce or remove gametes, zygote(s), preembryo(s), and/or embryo(s) into or from the body. This generic type of device may include catheters, cannulae, introducers, dilators, sheaths, stylets, and component parts. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls) (mouse embryo assay information, endotoxin testing, sterilization validation, design specifications, labeling requirements, biocompatibility testing, and clinical testing). ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
