The Wallace Dual Lumen Oocyte Retrieval Sets are sterile, single-use devices for ultrasound - guided transvaginal collection of Oocytes from ovarian follicles.
Device Story
Device consists of sterile, single-use dual-lumen stainless steel needle (16G or 17G, 33cm length) with polyurethane tubing; features distal echomarking for ultrasound visualization. Used by physicians in clinical settings for transvaginal oocyte retrieval. Dual-lumen design allows simultaneous aspiration and flushing of ovarian follicles to improve oocyte recovery. Needle hub connects to retrieval tubing and separate flushing line; includes pump adapter for vacuum connection. Output is collected oocytes for laboratory processing. Benefits include enhanced follicle access and flushing capability compared to single-lumen needles.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Stainless steel dual-lumen needle (16G/17G, 33cm); polyurethane tubing; silicone sleeve; female luer connectors. Features distal echomarking for ultrasound guidance. Sterile, single-use. No electronic components or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for ultrasound-guided transvaginal collection of oocytes from ovarian follicles in patients undergoing assisted reproduction procedures.
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).

DEVICE NAME: Wallace Dual Lumen Oocyte Retrieval Set
#### COMMON NAME AND CLASSIFICATION: Oocyte retrieval Sets. Class II MQE CFR 884.6100
#### PREDICATE DEVICES:
- Wallace single lumen Oocyte Retrieval sets already marketed in the USA under K00628 ●
- . Cook Double Lumen Ovum Aspiration Needle, already marketed in the USA under K983593.
#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
The Wallace Dual Lumen Oocyte Retrieval Sets are sterile, single-use devices for ultrasound ~ guided transvaginal collection of Oocytes from ovarian follicles. The set consists of a dual-lumen stainless needle attached to polyurethane tubing. The needle is 33cm in length and available in 16 gauge or 17 gauge sizes, each having 1cm of echomarking at the distal tip for ultrasound reflection and a plastic hub at the proximal end for ease of guidance by hand. Retrieval tubing is attached to the proximal end of the hub and is available in two lengths, protruding a total distance of either 60cm, 75cm or 95cm until it passes through a silicone bung. The Retrieval tubing is sleeved at the needle connection with a silicone sleeve (Blue 16g). Flushing tubing is attached to the top of the hub and extends to either 60cm, 75cm before it terminates in a clear female luer connector.
A pump adapter component is included in each pouch pack to allow connection of the pink female Luer connector to vacuum tubing with an internal diameter of between 4 and 10.5mm.

Dear Mr. Ogilvie:
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.
