Indications for Use

The Minitube SC-2000 + 2045 temperature control unit is indicated maintaining the temperature of biological material like gametes and embryos at a certain temperature which is essential to rover multiple applications in reproductive medicine, biology and other areas. The only distinguishing feature between the SC-2000 and the SC-2045 is that the inserts on the warming plates of the SC-2045 are at a 45 legree angle from a level horizontal plane, whereas the SC-2000 inserts are vertical to that plane.

Device Story

Minitube Temperature Control Unit SC-2000 and SC-2045 are benchtop devices designed to maintain precise temperatures for biological samples, specifically gametes and embryos. The device functions as a warming plate to ensure thermal stability during reproductive medicine procedures. The SC-2000 features vertical inserts, while the SC-2045 features inserts at a 45-degree angle to the horizontal plane. Operated by clinicians or laboratory technicians in reproductive medicine settings, the device provides a stable thermal environment to support the viability of biological materials during handling and processing. By maintaining consistent temperatures, the device aids in the success of assisted reproductive procedures.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Temperature control unit for biological materials. Features warming plates with specific insert orientations: vertical (SC-2000) or 45-degree angle (SC-2045).

Indications for Use

Indicated for maintaining temperature of biological materials, specifically gametes and embryos, for applications in reproductive medicine and biology.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Assisted reproduction accessories are a group of devices used during assisted reproduction procedures, in conjunction with assisted reproduction needles and/or assisted reproduction catheters, to aspirate, incubate, infuse, and/or maintain temperature. This generic type of device may include:(1) Powered aspiration pumps used to provide low flow, intermittent vacuum for the aspiration of eggs (ova). (2) Syringe pumps (powered or manual) used to activate a syringe to infuse or aspirate small volumes of fluid during assisted reproduction procedures. (3) Collection tube warmers, used to maintain the temperature of egg (oocyte) collection tubes at or near body temperature. A dish/plate/microscope stage warmer is a device used to maintain the temperature of the egg (oocyte) during manipulation. (4) Embryo incubators, used to store and preserve gametes and/or embryos at or near body temperature. (5) Cryopreservation instrumentation and devices, used to contain, freeze, and maintain gametes and/or embryos at an appropriate freezing temperature.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls) (design specifications, labeling requirements, and clinical testing). The device, when it is a simple embryo incubator with only temperature, gas, and humidity control; a syringe pump; a collection tube warmer; a dish/plate/microscope stage warmer; a controlled-rate cryopreservation freezer; or an assisted reproduction laminar flow workstation is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 884.9.

Dear Mr. Morley:

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter:
