Intended Use

The D.O.R.C. Harmony CryoStar Cryosurgical System is a surgical system for ophthalmic surgery intended for use in surgery of the posterior segment or anterior segment including cryopexy for retinal detachment, glaucoma, cataract extraction, trichiasis, and retinopathy of prematurity.

Device Description

The D.O.R.C. CryoStar Cryosurgical System consists of a cryogen gas bottle, a console, an ophthalmic probe, a footswitch and necessary interconnections. The console controls delivery of the gas to the probe. It also processes signals from the footswitch, enabling the probe to freeze and defrost.

AI/ML Overview

This is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called the D.O.R.C. CryoStar Cryosurgical System. It claims substantial equivalence to predicate devices, and therefore no clinical study was performed.

Here's an analysis of the provided text based on your request:

Study Proving Device Meets Acceptance Criteria:

The provided document is a 510(k) submission, not a study report. The "study" that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria is a demonstration of substantial equivalence to predicate devices. This means the manufacturer presented evidence that the D.O.R.C. CryoStar Cryosurgical System has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics to previously cleared devices (D.O.R.C. Cryo 1500 and Keeler Cryo Master) and that any differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

  • Sample Size for Test Set: Not applicable. This is not a clinical study involving a test set of data. The submission relies on a comparison of technical specifications and intended use.
  • Data Provenance: Not applicable. The data is descriptive information about the device itself and a comparison to predicate devices, not data collected from a clinical setting.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts:

Not applicable. No ground truth was established by experts for a test set in this context. The determination of substantial equivalence is made by the FDA based on the provided technical information and comparison to predicate devices.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

Not applicable. There was no test set or adjudication process as part of a clinical study.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

Not applicable. This device is a cryosurgical system, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool engaging human readers. Therefore, an MRMC study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance is not relevant.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

Not applicable. This device is a surgical instrument, not an algorithm or AI system.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

Not applicable in the typical sense of a clinical study. The "ground truth" in this 510(k) submission is the established safety and effectiveness of the predicate devices (D.O.R.C. Cryo 1500 and Keeler Cryo Master) based on their prior FDA clearance. The new device is deemed substantially equivalent if it can demonstrate it performs safely and effectively like these predicate devices.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning study requiring a training set.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:

Not applicable.

Dear Mr. Furlong:

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 (PMA), 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.

{3}------------------------------------------------

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 and additionally 21 CFR Part 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
