Indications for Use

The ZyMot ICSI Sperm Separation Device is intended for preparing motile sperm from semen for use in the treatment of infertile couples by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) procedures. The ZyMot Multi Sperm Separation Device is intended for preparing motile sperm from semen for use in the treatment of infertile couples by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intrauterine insemination (IUI) procedures.

Device Story

Devices (ZyMōt ICSI and ZyMōt Multi) prepare motile sperm from semen for ART procedures; operate via sperm motility (swim-up) principle; used in clinical laboratory settings by embryologists/technicians. ZyMōt ICSI: 5 micro-channels; semen loaded into inlet; motile sperm collected from outlet after 30-minute incubation at 37°C. ZyMōt Multi: 850µl or 3ml volumes; semen added to lower chamber; separation medium added to upper chamber; microporous filter separates chambers; motile sperm swim through filter into upper chamber during 30-minute incubation at 37°C. Output is a concentrated sample of motile sperm for clinical use in fertilization procedures; enhances sperm quality for ART; single-use, radiation-sterilized.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Sterilization validated per ISO 11137-2:2012. Shelf-life supported by accelerated aging (ASTM F1980-07), dye penetration (ASTM F1929-98), and seal strength (ASTM F88/F88M-15). Endotoxin levels ≤2.15 EU/device (USP<85). Human sperm survival assay (HSSA) confirmed ≥80% motility compared to control after 24 hours. Performance testing on donor semen showed significant increases in motile and progressively motile sperm percentages post-separation across all device versions.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Polymethylmethacrylate, borosilicate glass, polycarbonate, flash-spun high-density polyethylene fibers. Principle: Passive sperm motility (swim-up) through micro-channels or microporous filters. Energy: None (passive). Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Radiation (SAL 10^-6). Form factor: Disposable culture dish. Software: None.

Indications for Use

Indicated for infertile couples undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures, specifically ICSI, IVF, or IUI, requiring the preparation of motile sperm from semen samples.

#### ട. Predicate Device

Qualis (K133295). This predicate device has not been subject to any design related recalls.

#### 6. Device Description

The ZyMōt ICSI Sperm Separation Device and ZyMōt Multi Sperm Separation Device (850μl, 3ml) are used to prepare motile sperm for assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures. They separate motile sperm from the semen based on the mobility (i.e., swimup nature) of motile sperm.

{4}------------------------------------------------

The ZyMōt ICSI Sperm Separation Device has five micro-channels, each accommodating 2ul of semen and processes up to five separations from one semen sample. Each channel has an inlet port for applying the semen sample and an outlet port for collecting the motile sperm. The ports are connected by a fluid-filled micro-channel in which separation occurs.

The ZyMōt Multi Sperm Separation Device has two processing volumes, 850µl and 3ml. Each version has an inlet port that communicates with the lower sample chamber. The sample chamber is separated from the upper collection chamber by a microporous filter. Untreated semen is added through the inlet port. After incubation, the separated motile sperm are collected from the upper chamber through the outlet port.

The subject devices are radiation-sterilized devices with a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10-6. They are individually packaged and for single-use only.

The subject and predicate devices have different Indications for Use statements; however, they have the same intended use – preparing motile sperm from semen for use in ART procedures.

The subject and predicate devices have the same fundamental design incorporating a culture dish with an inlet port/chamber for loading of semen and an outlet port/chamber for collection of motile sperm. Both devices rely on sperm motility to separate motile sperm from non-motile sperm or non-sperm cells. The predicate device incorporates microfluidic technology, whereas the subject devices do not. However, this difference does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate device, as both devices (and other cleared devices) have the same fundamental mode of action (i.e., using motility of sperm to prepare pools of motile sperm for use in ART procedures). In addition, the subject and predicate devices have different materials. However, differences in materials do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate device.

#### g. Summary of Non-Clinical Performance Testing:

The following studies have been performed to support substantial equivalence to the predicate devices:

{6}------------------------------------------------

- . Sterilization validation study per ISO 11137-2:2012
- . Transportation simulation study per ASTM D5276-98
- . Package integrity testing following accelerated aging per ASTM F1980-07 to support a 12-month shelf-life:
- * Dye penetration testing per ASTM F1929-98
- * Seal strength testing per ASTM F88/F88M-15
- Endotoxin testing per USP<85>: ≤2.15 EU/device .
- . Human sperm survival assay (HSSA) before and after accelerated aging to support a 12-month shelf-life:

Donor sperm were exposed to the subject devices for 30 minutes and then, incubated at room temperature for 24 hours. The rate of motile sperm after incubation was compared to that of the control (no exposure to the subject device). The acceptance criterion is ≥80% of the control motility at 24 hours after exposure for 30 minutes.

- Performance testing: .
Each version of the subject device was used to separate motile sperm from donor semen samples. The separation procedures followed the Instructions for Use, and the percentage of motile sperm and progressively motile sperm in the output samples were compared to those of the input samples. A summary of the results is provided in the table below:

| Device | Percentage of motile sperm<br>(before/after separation) | Percentage of progressively motile<br>sperm (before/after separation) |
|-------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ZyMōt ICSI | 29.7% / 87% | 26.3% / 74.2% |
| ZyMōt Multi 850µl | 67% / 83.6% | 44.7% / 68.6% |
| ZyMōt Multi 3ml | 67% / 86.5% | 44.7% / 75.4% |

#### 10. Conclusion

The subject and predicate devices have the same intended use and comparable technological characteristics. The differences in technological characteristics between the subject and predicate devices do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. The performance data demonstrate that the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
