Intended Use

Bovine Serum Albumin is intended for use in assisted reproductive procedures that require protein supplementation. These procedures include in vitro fertilization, embryo culture and growth.

Device Story

Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) is a protein supplement used in assisted reproductive technology (ART) laboratories. It is provided as either a 10% solution in sterile saline or as a powder. Clinicians add the pre-warmed, equilibrated BSA to culture dishes containing support media to facilitate the in vitro fertilization and growth of human gametes and embryos. The device does not contact the patient directly; embryos are removed from the culture medium and placed into a separate transfer medium before implantation. The product is intended to support embryonic development and ensure no toxic components are present during the culture process. Quality is maintained through lot-specific release testing, including mouse embryo assays, endotoxin testing, and sterility testing.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Performance is verified via bench testing, specifically mouse embryo assays to ensure functionality and absence of toxicity, alongside endotoxin and sterility testing.

Technological Characteristics

BSA (Fraction V) provided as 10% solution in sterile saline or as powder. Derived from United States source animals. Used as a protein supplement in culture media. Not patient-contacting. Sterility and endotoxin testing performed.

Indications for Use

Indicated for protein supplementation in assisted reproductive procedures, including in vitro fertilization, in vitro embryo culture, and cryopreservation of human embryos.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Reproductive media and supplement are products that are used for assisted reproduction procedures. Media include liquid and powder versions of various substances that come in direct physical contact with human gametes or embryos (including water, acid solutions used to treat gametes or embryos, rinsing solutions, sperm separation media, supplements, or oil used to cover the media) for the purposes of preparation, maintenance, transfer or storage. Supplements are specific reagents added to media to enhance specific properties of the media (e.g., proteins, sera, antibiotics, etc.).

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls) (mouse embryo assay information, endotoxin testing, sterilization validation, design specifications, labeling requirements, biocompatibility testing, and clinical testing). The device, when it is phosphate-buffered saline used for washing, and short-term handling and manipulation of gametes and embryos; culture oil used as an overlay for culture media containing gametes and embryos; and water for assisted reproduction applications, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 884.9.

## Intended Use:

Bovine Serum Albumin is intended for use in assisted reproductive procedures that require protein supplementation. These procedures include in vitro fertilization, embryo culture and growth.

## Technological Characteristics:

Depending upon the procedure used, an appropriate amount of pre-warmed, equilibrated BSA is withdrawn, and added to the culture dish and support medium. After the desired stage of embryo development is achieved, the embryo is removed from the culture dish, placed into a HEPES-buffered transfer medium, and implanted into the patient. BSA is not intended to contact the patient.

### Performance Data:

BSA is assayed by mouse embryo assay prior to release to market. This assay assures that the product is both functional for its intended use, the support of embryonic growth, and that no toxic components are present in the formulation. Bovine Serum Albumin has been used in a variety of clinical settings, for their intended use, for a number of years. In that time, the product has become one of the standard protein supplements used for the in vitro fertilization and growth of human gametes and embryos.

### Additional Information:

Mouse embryo testing will be performed as a condition of release for this product, as well as endotoxin and sterility testing. Results of all release assays performed will be reported on a lot-specific certificate of analysis, and will be indicated on the labeling.

# Conclusion:

The conclusion from performance testing, as well as a review of the historical information contained in professional literature shows that Bovine Serum Albumin is suitable for its intended use, and meet the criteria outlined in the Notice of Final Rule, 63 FR 48428, Docket number 97N-0335.
