Individual laboratories currently develop and determine performance characteristics for their own use. It is understood that the FDA has not currently cleared or approved these procedures. ## Device Story Borosilicate glass micropipets used for aspiration of polar bodies from zygotes or blastomeres from embryos; intended for single-use in clinical laboratory settings; operated by embryologists or laboratory technicians; facilitates cell retrieval for preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD); device tip size/shape varies based on specific biopsy application; provides physical means for cell extraction; benefits patient by enabling genetic material collection for diagnostic testing. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Includes 2-cell mouse embryo toxicity testing and endotoxin testing to ensure biocompatibility and safety for embryonic contact. ## Technological Characteristics Borosilicate glass micropipets; manual operation; single-use; supplied sterile; dimensions/tip geometry customized per application; no electronic components or software. ## Regulatory Identification Assisted reproduction microtools are pipettes or other devices used in the laboratory to denude, micromanipulate, hold, or transfer human gametes or embryos for assisted hatching, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), or other assisted reproduction methods. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls) (mouse embryo assay information, endotoxin testing, sterilization validation, design specifications, labeling requirements, and clinical testing). The device, when the assisted reproduction microtools (pipettes) are manufactured from glass, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 884.9. ## Predicate Devices - Humagen micropipets ([K990847](/device/K990847.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

CFR# 884.6130 | |----------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Common/Usual name: | Micropipets used for retrieval of embryonic or
blastomere cells for purposes of preimplantation
genetic diagnosis | | Proprietary names: | Blastomere Biopsy Micropipet
Polar Body Biopsy Micropipet | #### Substantial Equivalence: The biopsy micropipets submitted for approval are similar to other micropipets manufactured by Humagen and approved under K990847. It is the understanding of Humagen that the usage of the micropipets differs from those approved under the previous 510K. submission, and that the FDA currently has not approved or cleared the tests for which these micropipets are used. The biopsy micropipets vary only by size and shape of the tip as determined by their usage as do the micropipets already approved. Testing and controls are the same. #### Description of Device: Biopsy Micropipets are used to remove polar bodies from the zygote (polar body) or blastomeres from the embryo (blastomere biopsy) for the purpose of preimplantation genetic diagnosis. These devices are manufactured from borosilicate glass on which 2 cell mouse embryo and endotoxin testing are performed. They are manufactured {1}------------------------------------------------ following procedures of the Humagen Quality System. The pipets are manufactured to specific sizes or the size may be modified to meet customer specifications. #### Intended use statement: The blastomere biopsy and polar body biopsy micropipets intended use is for polar body or blastomere biopsy, which may be done in order to perform pre-implantation genetic diagnosis on the genetic material in the biopsied cell(s). Individual laboratories currently develop and determine performance characteristics for their own use. It is understood that the FDA has not currently cleared or approved these procedures. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image is a black and white logo for the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.
