## Indications for Use

The Mid-Atlantic Diagnostics Custom Products IVF Workstation is a laminar flow hood that is indicated for use as an accessory to assisted reproduction technologies/in vitro fertilization (ART/IVF) procedures.

## Device Story

Custom Products IVF Workstation is a laminar flow hood designed for use in assisted reproduction technology (ART) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) laboratories. The device provides a controlled, filtered environment to maintain air quality during the handling of gametes and embryos. It functions as a workspace for embryologists to perform procedures such as oocyte retrieval, embryo culture, and manipulation. By maintaining a laminar flow of HEPA-filtered air, the workstation minimizes particulate contamination, protecting sensitive biological samples from environmental factors. The device is operated by trained laboratory personnel or clinicians. It serves as a physical infrastructure component to support the success of IVF procedures by ensuring a clean, stable environment for delicate reproductive cells.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Laminar flow hood; HEPA filtration system; stainless steel or equivalent laboratory-grade construction; dimensions vary by model (WKST-24x36 to WKST-24x72D); electrical power source; standalone laboratory equipment.

## Regulatory Identification

Assisted reproduction accessories are a group of devices used during assisted reproduction procedures, in conjunction with assisted reproduction needles and/or assisted reproduction catheters, to aspirate, incubate, infuse, and/or maintain temperature. This generic type of device may include:(1) Powered aspiration pumps used to provide low flow, intermittent vacuum for the aspiration of eggs (ova). (2) Syringe pumps (powered or manual) used to activate a syringe to infuse or aspirate small volumes of fluid during assisted reproduction procedures. (3) Collection tube warmers, used to maintain the temperature of egg (oocyte) collection tubes at or near body temperature. A dish/plate/microscope stage warmer is a device used to maintain the temperature of the egg (oocyte) during manipulation. (4) Embryo incubators, used to store and preserve gametes and/or embryos at or near body temperature. (5) Cryopreservation instrumentation and devices, used to contain, freeze, and maintain gametes and/or embryos at an appropriate freezing temperature.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls) (design specifications, labeling requirements, and clinical testing). The device, when it is a simple embryo incubator with only temperature, gas, and humidity control; a syringe pump; a collection tube warmer; a dish/plate/microscope stage warmer; a controlled-rate cryopreservation freezer; or an assisted reproduction laminar flow workstation is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 884.9.

Dear Ms. Bush:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

{1}------------------------------------------------

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of the letter:
