The Wallace Oocyte Retrieval Set is intended for ultrasound-guided, transvaginal recovery and collection of oocytes from ovarian follicles. Federal law (U.S.A.) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
Device Story
Single-use, sterile, ultrasound-guided needle set for transvaginal oocyte retrieval. Device consists of 16G or 17G stainless steel needle with echomarking at distal tip for ultrasound visualization; attached to polyurethane (Tecoflex) tubing and silicone sleeve. Used by physicians in clinical settings for assisted reproduction procedures. Needle inserted transvaginally under ultrasound guidance to aspirate oocytes from ovarian follicles; suction applied via tubing connected to external vacuum source. Facilitates oocyte collection for in vitro fertilization; benefits patient by enabling minimally invasive egg retrieval.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing including visual, dimensional, and functional assessments; two-cell mouse embryo assay for toxicity; and bacterial endotoxin (Limulus Amoebocyte Pyrogen) testing. Biological safety assessment performed per ISO 10993-1:1994.
Technological Characteristics
Single-lumen stainless steel needle (16G or 17G, 33cm length); polyurethane (Tecoflex) tubing (750mm); medical grade silicone sleeve (25mm); ABS female luer connector; polypropylene luer lock connector. Features distal echomarking for ultrasound reflection. Sterile, single-use. Tested per ISO 10993-1:1994.
Indications for Use
Indicated for ultrasound-guided, transvaginal recovery and collection of oocytes from ovarian follicles. Contraindicated in patients with recent pelvic inflammatory disease or chronic cervical infection; not for placement of fertilized oocytes into the fallopian tube.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Assisted reproduction needles are devices used in in vitro fertilization (IVF), gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), or other assisted reproduction procedures to obtain gametes from the body or introduce gametes, zygote(s), preembryo(s) and/or embryo(s) into the body. This generic type of device may include a single or double lumen needle and component parts, including needle guides, such as those used with ultrasound.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls) (mouse embryo assay information, endotoxin testing, sterilization validation, design specifications, labeling requirements, biocompatibility testing, and clinical testing).

| Description | Wallace Oocyte Retrieval Set is a single-use device provided sterile for ultrasound-<br>guided, transvaginal recovery and collection of oocytes from ovarian follicles. The set<br>consists of a single-lumen, stainless steel needle attached to polyurethane (Tecoflex)<br>tubing 750mm long, using a 25mm long medical grade silicone sleeve. The needle is<br>33cm in length and available in 16 gauge or 17 gauge, each having echomarking at the<br>distal tip for ultrasound reflection and a plastic hub at the proximal end for ease of<br>guidance by hand. Tubing is attached to the hub of the needle and protrudes a total<br>distance of 700mm until it passes through a silicone bung and terminates in an ABS<br>female luer connector. FEP tubing for suction also protrudes through the bung, and at the<br>other end terminates in a polypropylene luer lock connector. |
| Intended Use | The Wallace Oocyte Retrieval Set is intended for ultrasound-guided, transvaginal recovery<br>and collection of oocytes from ovarian follicles. |
| Contraindications | Not intended for use in the presence of or after recent pelvic inflammatory disease or<br>chronic cervical infection.<br>Not intended for placement of fertilized oocyte(s) into the fallopian tube. |
| Caution | Federal law (U.S.A.) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician |
| Technological<br>Characteristics | There are no published standards for these particular types of products, and as such tests<br>have been developed which are considered sufficient to ensure the efficacy and safety of<br>the device(s) for its intended use. Such tests include - Visual; Dimensional; Functional;<br>two-cell Mouse Embryo Assay; and Bacterial Endotoxin (Limulus Amoebocyte Pyrogen)<br>Test. |
| Data Submitted | The biological safety assessment of the Wallace Oocyte Retrieval Set has been performed<br>in accordance with the International Standard ISO 10993, Part 1:1994, "Biological<br>Evaluation of Medical Devices: Evaluation and Testing." In addition to ISO 10993 the<br>selection of tests, taking into consideration the particular application of the product e.g.<br>collection of human oocytes, embryo toxicity and bacterial endotoxin tests were<br>performed. |
