More on Falcon IVF Products

Due to the sensitive nature of in vitro fertilization (IVF) work, you must have precise, consistent, and highly reliable products that are designed to help you achieve normal growth and develop- ment, and ultimately, successful results.

The innovative Falcon® IVF plasticware designs feature a sterile, flat, optically clear, single-use device for optimum manipulation and observation of ova and embryos. Falcon IVF dishes and four-well plates are designed to control heat transfer, keeping temperatures stable while you work.

The unique lid design of the IVF plate (Cat. No. 353654) reduces the risk of contamination and minimizes evaporation by providing access to two wells at a time, while two remain covered. The wells are numbered and a large writing patch allows clear sample identification. Plates are packaged in individual peel-open trays for sterile presentation. The Falcon IVF lids are designed for aseptic manipulation and consistent venting to maintain humidification.

Certified and Tested

Pre-tested Falcon® IVF products were the first plasticware available certified sterile, nonpyrogenic, noncytotoxic, and nonembryotoxic. These pre-tested products save you time and expense in complying with the College of American Pathologists and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine recommended standards for IVF labs.

Performance Tested

Each lot of Falcon IVF product is subjected to a performance test for growth with a mammalian cell line. A minimum of 90% confluency within 72 hours is required for lot acceptance.

Quality Management and Control

Falcon IVF products are manufactured in compliance with the current version of the EN ISO 9001 Standard, the EN ISO 13485 Standard, the Medical Device Directive (MDD) 93/42/EEC as amended with 2007/47/EEC, and the FDA CFR 21 Part 820 and current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP).

Each lot of Falcon IVF product is tested and meets the criteria established in the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Chapter <85>, “Bacterial Endotoxins Test.” The acceptance level for a product is less than 0.1 EU/mL or 5 EU/device.

Cytotoxicity

Thorough testing is conducted to qualify material resins to USP Class VI. Products are also tested and qualify as noncytotoxic per the requirements of ISO 10993-5, Biological evaluation of medical devices – Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity.

Genotoxicity, Carcinogenicity, and Reproductive Toxicity

Products have been tested and demonstrated to be non-mutagenic and non-genotoxic per the requirements of ISO 10993-3, Biological evaluation of medical devices: Tests for genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, and reproductive toxicity.

Individual certificates, containing actual test results, are available for each lot by contacting your local Corning Life Sciences office after you receive your order.
