The trial transfer catheter is a sterile, single use device which is designed for ensuring a free passage through the cervix prior to the embryo transfer. The stylet is a sterile, single-use device designed to support in initial placement of the guide catheter prior to the embryo transfer. ## Device Story ClearVision system comprises three sterile, single-use components: Embryo Transfer Catheter Set (two-piece assembly: transfer catheter and detachable guide catheter), Trial Transfer Catheter (closed-tip), and Malleable Stylet. Used in clinical IVF settings by fertility specialists. Embryo transfer catheter facilitates delivery of embryos into uterine cavity; trial catheter ensures cervical patency; stylet provides structural support for guide catheter placement. Devices are manually operated by clinicians. System aids in successful embryo implantation by ensuring clear access and precise placement of transfer tools. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Medical grade polymers and stainless steel construction. Embryo transfer catheter (1.4 mm OD), guide catheter (2.3 mm OD), length 190-250 mm. Stylet features polyurethane handle and PTFE-covered stainless steel wire. Sterilized via e-beam irradiation. ## 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). ## Predicate Devices - Wallace Catheters ([K990350](/device/K990350.md)) - CooperSurgical Embryo Transfer Catheter ([K023379](/device/K023379.md)) - Wallace Trial Transfer Catheters ([K990348](/device/K990348.md)) - CooperSurgical Trial Transfer Catheter ([K023384](/device/K023384.md)) - Wallace Malleable Stylet ([K990349](/device/K990349.md)) - CooperSurgical Malleable Stylet ([K023382](/device/K023382.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The device consists of a two picce assembly comprised of an embryo transfer catheter and a detachable guide catheter (outer sheath). The overall length of the assembly ranges from 190 mm to 250 mm. The outer diameter of the transfer catheter is approximately 1.4 mm and the outer diameter of the guide catheter is approximately 2.3 mm. The catheter sets are packaged separately or assembled in an double barrier sterilisation pouch/wrapping. All devices are sterilized using c-beam irradiation. #### Trial Transfer Catheter Set The Swemed Trial Transfer Catheter Sct is manufactured by Swemed and is identical to the Swemed Transfer Catheter Set except for tip design and packaging configuration. The differences are that the tip is closed, i.e. no hole, and that it is packaged in a single barrier, i.e. an outer sterilization pouch/wrapping only, All devices are sterilized using e-beam irradiation. #### Stylet The Swemed stylet is manufactured by Swemed of medical grade polymers and stainless steel. The stylet consists of a handle (polyurethanc) and polymer (polytetraflourethen) covered stainless steel wire. The Swemed stylet is packaged in a single barrier, i.e. an outer sterilization pouch/wrapping only. All devices are sterilized using e-beam irradiation. # INTENDED USE / INDICATIONS FOR USE: {2}------------------------------------------------ K053208 Page 3 of 3 # Embryo Transfer Catheter Set The embryo transfer catheter set is a sterile, single use device designed for in vitro fertilized (IVF) embryo transfer into the uterine cavity. # Trial Transfer Catheter Set The trial transfer catheter is a stcrile, single use device which is designed for ensuring a free passage through the cervix prior to the embryo transfer ### Stylet The stylet is a sterile, single-use device designed to support in initial placement of the guide catheter prior to the embryo transfer. ### TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACHTERISTICS Swemed Lab International AB, believes that the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. The subject devices has the same intended use/indications for use, in principle the same dimensions, complies with the same standards/special controls. The differences are the sterilization method used and a minor difference in material composition. ### CONCLUSION Based on the comparison of the Swemed Clearvision™ Embryo Transfer Catheter Set and accessories to the predicate devices the conclusion is made that no new questions of safety and effectiveness are raised.
