Indications for Use

The HSV Straw is a cryopreservation storage device that is intended for use in vitrification procedures to contain and maintain human 4-8 Cell and blastocyst stage embryos.

Device Story

HSV Straw is a cryopreservation storage device for human embryos. Input: embryo suspended in 0.5ul vitrification solution. Operation: embryo placed in curved medical-grade styrene-butadiene copolymer spatula; spatula inserted into outer straw; proximal end sealed; straw immersed in liquid nitrogen for storage. Rewarming: distal tip remains in liquid nitrogen while outer tube is cut; curved spatula immersed directly in thawing solution for simultaneous thawing and dilution. Used in assisted reproduction laboratories by embryologists. Benefits: provides protected environment for embryo vitrification and storage, preventing nitrogen contamination. Output: cryopreserved embryo ready for clinical use.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical study conducted across three centers with 473 vitrification cycles and 1509 embryos. Primary endpoint: post-vitrification/rewarming embryo survival rate. Results: >80% survival across all centers; successful pregnancies and live births reported. No device-associated adverse effects. Bench testing included mouse embryo assay (MEA) with 90-100% survival at 96 hours, endotoxin levels <1 EU/unit, and mechanical testing.

Technological Characteristics

Material: Medical Grade Styrene-Butadiene Copolymer. Form factor: Curved spatula inserted into outer straw. Cooling rate: 2,900°C/min. Rewarming rate: 25,000°C/min. Principle: Vitrification via direct immersion in liquid nitrogen. Sterilization: Not specified. Connectivity: None (standalone).

Indications for Use

Indicated for containment and maintenance of human 4-8 cell and blastocyst stage embryos during vitrification procedures.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

#### Indications for Use

The HSV Straw is a cryopreservation storage device that is intended for use in vitrification procedures to contain and maintain human 4-8 Cell and blastocyst stage embrvos.

## Device Description and Principles of Operation for the HSV Straw

An embryo is vitrified using the HSV Straw by placing an embryo suspended in a 0.5ul All entrification solution solution in a curved polymeric spatula (Medical Grade. Styrene-Butadiene Copolymer). The curved spatula is inserted in an outer straw with a Styrene-Butadiene Coporymer). The open, proximal end of the straw is sealed by the user. The sealed, weighted unsal Chd. The open, promishar effect freezing-vitrification. The weighted straw seated straw is placed in liquid nitrogen for embryo storage. Thawing-rewarming: While the remains in liquid nitrogen, part of the outer tube is cut away. The curved spatial, distal tip tellians in inquir mirogen, part of the outer straw and immediately immersed in thawing solution where thawing and dilution of the remaining vitrification solution occur simultaneously.

Clinical use of the HSV Straw was studied in three centers representing diverse approaches to assisted fertility (blastomeres vs blastocysts, multiple embryo transfers vs single embryo transfers, hormone induced cycles vs natural cycles, etc). A total of 473 vitrification cycles using 1509 embryos were captured in the study. Each of the three centers had post vitrification/rewarming embryo % survival of greater than 80%. No device associated adverse effects were experienced by the study sites and the centers continue to routinely use the device. The three centers had high levels of embryo survival after thawing and successfully used the vitrified embryos for pregnancies and live births.

The submission contains information demonstrating substantial equivalence between the devices. Test data in the submission include mouse embryo assay (MEA), endotoxin and sterility data, mechanical testing, and heating and cooling rate data. MEA testing with mouse blastocysts at 96 hours yielded 90-100% survival and endotoxin testing consistently demonstrated <1 EU per unit. Mechanical testing demonstrated the performance of the device under use conditions.

Design information included in the submission demonstrated that the curved form of the spatula, surface tension of the embryo containing drop and device dimensions and configuration provide a safe environment whereby the embryos are protected from nitrogen contamination inside a sealed straw.

When the HSV Straw is used in accordance with indications and instructions for use, the differences between the HSV Straw and predicate devices do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness. The clinical studies of the HSV Straw and engineering and other tests did not identify any adverse effects. This conclusion is based on the performance data and specifications. It can be concluded that the intended use, material composition and scientific technology properties of the HSV Straw demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the identified, legally marketed predicate devices in the United States.
