## Indications for Use

The Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) Micro-Injection Pipettes are used for the intracytoplasmic single sperm injection of oocytes. The Holding Pipettes are used to hold the oocyte in position with the application of vacuum. The Denuding Pipettes are used to remove the cumulus cell layers. The Assisted Hatching/Zona Drilling Pipettes are used to make a hole in the zona pellucida to enable blastomere removal or embryo assisted hatching.

## Device Story

Assisted reproduction microtools; borosilicate glass pipettes; used in clinical embryology laboratories. ICSI pipettes inject single sperm into oocytes; holding pipettes stabilize oocytes via vacuum; denuding pipettes remove cumulus cells; assisted hatching/zona drilling pipettes create holes in zona pellucida for embryo hatching or blastomere removal. Operated by embryologists/clinicians under microscope. Facilitates fertilization and embryo development in IVF procedures.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only; Mouse Embryo Toxicity testing performed on borosilicate glass materials to confirm safety.

## Technological Characteristics

Borosilicate glass construction; manual micro-manipulation tools; non-powered; sterile; single-use.

## 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.

#### 510(k) SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS

## Submitted By:

Brenda Davis Cook OB/GYN 1100 West Morgan Street Spencer, Indiana 47460 (812) 829-6500 bdavis(@cookuro.com December 16, 2003

#### Device:

Trade Name:

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) Micro-Injection Pipettes, Holding Pipettes, Denuding Pipettes, and Assisted Hatching/Zona Drilling Pipettes

| Proposed Classification Name: | Class II Assisted Reproduction Microtools |
|-------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
|                               | 85MQH                                     |

#### Predicate Devices:

Cook OB/GYN understands due to the recent reclassification there are no predicate devices. We have used other devices as well as Cook Australia devices as our predicate to illustrate safety and effectiveness.

The Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) Micro-Injection Pipettes, Holding Pipettes, and Assisted Hatching/Zona Drilling Pipettes are substantially equivalent to other pipettes in terms of indications for use, design, construction and materials equivalence.

Specifically, these devices are similar to the Intracytoplasmic Micropipet and Holding Micropipet manufactured by Humagen Fertility Diagnostics, Inc., 2345 Hunter's Way (No. 2), Charlottesville, VA 22901-7928, the Laboratory Micropipette Art. No. 33311 and Laboratory Micropipette Art. No. 22218 manufactured by SWEMED LAB International AB, Box 4014 S-421 04 V. Frolunda, Sweden and the (ICSI) pipettes, holding pipettes, denuding pipettes and assisted hatching/zona drilling pipettes manufactured and distributed in Europe by Cook Australia, 12 Electronics Street, Brisbane Industrial Park, Eight Miles Plains, Queensland, 4113, Australia.

### Device Description:

The Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) Micro-Injection Pipettes are used for the intracytoplasmic single sperm injection of oocytes, the Holding Pipettes are used to hold the occyte in position with the application of vacuum during single sperm injection with the micro-injection pipette, the Denuding Pipettes are used to remove cumulus cell layers, and the Assisted Hatching/Zona Drilling Pipettes are used to make a hole in the zona pellucida to enable embryo assisted hatching. These devices are manufactured entirely from borosilicate glass. Mouse Embryo Toxicity testing has been performed on the borosilicate glass. Results show the material meets the requirements of these tests.

#### Substantial Equivalence:

This device will be manufactured according to specified process controls and a Quality Assurance Program. Being similar with respect to indications for use, materials and physical construction to predicate devices, these devices meet the requirements for section 510(k) substantial equivalence.
