Indications for Use

The CrossBay IVF Embryo Transfer Catheter Set is intended for ultrasound-guided introduction of embryos into the uterine cavity following in vitro fertilization.

Device Story

The CrossBay IVF Embryo Transfer Catheter Set is a sterile, single-use device for transferring in vitro fertilized embryos into the uterus. The system includes a delivery catheter with an everting membrane, a 3cc syringe, and a 3 Fr embryo transfer catheter. The clinician uses the syringe to prime the delivery catheter with saline or culture media. The delivery catheter, featuring an acorn tip for exocervical seating, is advanced into the endocervix; pressurization deploys the everting membrane, which advances 5 cm into the uterine cavity. The embryo transfer catheter, containing a stainless steel band for ultrasound echogenicity, is then inserted through the delivery catheter to deposit the embryos. The device is used in a clinical setting by a physician. The procedure allows for precise, ultrasound-guided embryo placement, potentially improving the success of IVF procedures.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing included dimensional, visual, functional, bond joint, and over-pressurization testing. Biocompatibility testing (cytotoxicity, vaginal irritation, sensitization) per ISO 10993. Endotoxin testing per USP <85>. Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA) testing demonstrated ≥80% blastocyst formation at 96 hours. Sterilization validation per ISO 11135-1. Packaging and shelf-life validation per ASTM F88, F2096, and F1980.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Pellethane polyurethane, polypropylene, Pebax, ABS. Energy: Manual hydraulic (saline/media). Dimensions: 31 cm ET catheter length, 0.91 mm OD. Features: Everting membrane, stainless steel echogenic marker band, acorn tip. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (EtO). Connectivity: None.

PREDICATE DEVICE INFORMATION Wallace Sure View™ Embryo Replacement Catheters & Trial Transfer Catheters (K033084) . This predicate has not been subject to a design-related recall. ## IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION The CrossBay IVF Embryo Transfer Catheter Set is a sterile, single use device composed of disposable components supporting the transfer of an in vitro fertilized embryo to the uterus. The CrossBay IVF Embryo Transfer Catheter Set is comprised of a Delivery Catheter with a 6 Fr Inner Catheter and everting membrane that accesses the cervix and uterine cavity; a 3cc syringe for supplying aseptically filtered media or saline to the Delivery Catheter; and a 3 Fr Embryo Transfer Catheter that is supplied in a separately sealed pouch. The Delivery Catheter contains an acorn tip for seating the distal end of the Delivery Catheter at the exocervix. The Embryo Transfer Catheter contains a stainless steel band at the distal end to provide additional echogenicity to the catheter for ultrasound guided {4}------------------------------------------------ procedures. The Embryo Transfer Catheter has markings on its proximal end at 1 cm intervals to aid in determining the depth of insertion. The Embryo Transfer Catheter can extend a maximum distance of 4 cm beyond the distal end of the fully everted membrane when completely inserted into the Delivery Catheter. The maximum insertion depth of the Embryo Transfer Catheter and fully everted membrane is 9 cm. The 3 cc syringe is used for priming the device and supplying aseptically filtered culture media or sterile saline to pressurize the Delivery Catheter for the purposes of membrane deployment. Aseptically filtered culture media or saline is introduced into the Delivery Catheter until hand resistance on the 3 cc syringe is felt. Once loaded with aseptically filtered culture media or saline, the Inner Catheter is manually advanced to introduce the everting membrane and Inner Catheter into the endocervix and uterine cavity. When fully everted, the Inner Catheter advances 5 cm across the cervical canal into the uterine cavity. The 3 Fr Embryo Transfer Catheter loaded with embryo(s) is inserted through the Inner Catheter and into the uterus. ## V. INDICATIONS FOR USE The CrossBay IVF Embryo Transfer Catheter Set is intended for ultrasound-guided introduction of embryos into the uterine cavity following in vitro fertilization. ## VI. COMPARISON OF INTENDED USE AND TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE ## Comparison of Intended Use The indications for use for the subject and predicate device are shown in Table 1 below: | CrossBay IVF Embryo Transfer Catheter Set<br>(K162064) | Wallace Sure View™ Embryo Replacement<br>Catheters & Trial Transfer Catheters (K033084) | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | The CrossBay IVF Embryo Transfer Catheter Set is intended for ultrasound-guided introduction of embryos into the uterine cavity following in vitro fertilization. | Embryo Replacement Catheters are sterile, single-use devices for ultrasound guided introduction of embryos into the uterine cavity following in-vitro fertilization.<br>Trial Transfer Catheter are sterile, single-use devices for determining whether the cervix is passable for a Wallace embryo replacement catheter. | ## Table 1: Indications for Use for the Subject and Predicate Device {5}------------------------------------------------ As shown in the table above, the indications for use of the CrossBay IVF Embryo Transfer Catheter Set are not the same as the predicate Wallace Sure View™ Embryo Replacement Catheters & Trial Transfer Catheters (K033084). The subject and primary predicate devices do have comparable indication statements in regards to transferring embryos into the uterus under ultrasound guidance. However, the primary predicate device also included trial transfer catheters indicated for use in determining whether the cervix is passable before attempting an embryo transfer procedure. As trial transfer catheters are not required to complete an embryo transfer procedure, this difference does not represent a new intended use for the subject device (i.e., transferring embryos into the uterus under ultrasound guidance).Therefore, the subject and predicate devices have the same intended use. ## Technological Characteristics A detailed comparison of the technological characteristics of the subject and predicate device is provided in Table 2 below: | Design<br>Characteristics | CrossBay IVF Embryo<br>Transfer Catheter Set<br>(K162064) | Wallace Sure View™<br>Embryo Replacement<br>Catheters & Trial<br>Transfer Catheters<br>(K033084) | Comparison | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | System<br>Components | Delivery catheter<br>(incorporating the inner<br>catheter and everting<br>membrane), embryo<br>transfer (ET)catheter,<br>and 3 cc syringe | Outer delivery catheter,<br>ET catheter, trial<br>transfer catheter. | Different: The subject<br>device incorporates an<br>everting membrane that is<br>deployed as the inner<br>catheter is advanced<br>through the cervical canal.<br>The inclusion of these<br>components provides a<br>padded (fluid-filled) layer<br>around the inner catheter<br>as it passes through the<br>cervix.
