Intended Use
The SeedNet™ System (SeedNet Gold™ System) is intended for cryogenic destruction of tissue during surgical procedures. It is indicated for use as a cryosurgical tool in the fields of general surgery, dermatology, neurology (including cryoanalgesia), thoracic surgery, ENT, gynecology, oncology, proctology, and urology. The system is designed to destroy tissue by the application of extreme cold temperatures including prostate and kidney tissue, liver metastases, tumors, skin lesions, and warts. The SeedNet™ System (SeedNet Gold™ System) has the following specific indications: Urology (ablation of prostate tissue in cases of prostate cancer and Benign Prostate Hyperplasia "BPH") Oncology (ablation of cancerous or malignant tissue and benign tumors and palliative intervention) Dermatology (ablation or freezing of skin cancers and other cutaneous disorders. Destruction of warts or lesions, angiomas, sebaceous hyperplasia, basal cell tumors of the eyelid or canthus area, ulcerated basal cell tumors, dermatofibromas small hemanglomas, mucocele cysts, multiple warts. plantar warts, actinic and seborrheic keratoses, cavernous hemanglomas, perianal condylomata, and palliation of tumors of the skin) Gynecology (ablation of malignant neoplasia or benign dysplasia of the female genitalia) General surgery (palliation of tumors of the rectum, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, pilonidal cysts, and recurrent cancerous lesions.) ENT (Palliation of tumors of the oral cavity and ablation of leukoplakia of the mouth). Thoracic surgery (ablation of arrhythmic cardiac tissue and cancerous lesions.) Proctology (ablation of benign or malignant growths of the anus or rectum and hemorrhoids) The SeedNet™ System (SeedNet Gold™ System) may be used with a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device or an ultrasound device to provide real-time visualization of the cryosurgical procedure.
Device Description
Galil Medical's SeedNet™ System with the SmartWarmer is a modification of Galil Medical LTD's cleared SeedNet™ System (K021261). The SeedNet™ System is the exact same device as the SeedNet™ except for the substitution of the SmartWarmer™ for Gaymar's warmer and Barnant's pump as the device's transurethral warmer ("TUW") accessory.
More Information

No
The document describes a cryosurgical system and its modification, focusing on the warmer accessory. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes
The device is intended for the cryogenic destruction of tissue during surgical procedures to destroy and ablate various tissues, tumors, and lesions, which are therapeutic actions.

No

Explanation: The SeedNet™ System is described as a cryosurgical tool used for the destruction of tissue, not for diagnosis. While it can be used with MRI or ultrasound for visualization, these are for guiding the treatment, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "System" and describes the substitution of a "SmartWarmer™" for other hardware components (warmer and pump) as a "transurethral warmer accessory." This indicates the device includes hardware components and is not software-only.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "cryogenic destruction of tissue during surgical procedures." This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "cryosurgical tool" and a "system" for applying extreme cold temperatures to destroy tissue. This aligns with a surgical device, not a device used to examine specimens from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide diagnostic information based on such analysis. The device's function is to physically destroy tissue.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device operates in vivo (inside the body) as a surgical tool.

Technological Characteristics:

Galil Medical's SeedNet™ System with the SmartWarmer is a modification of Galil Medical LTD's cleared SeedNet™ System (K021261). The SeedNet™ System is the exact same device as the SeedNet™ except for the substitution of the SmartWarmer™ for Gaymar's warmer and Barnant's pump as the device's transurethral warmer ("TUW") accessory.

Performance Testing

Bench testing demonstrated that the SeedNet with modified TUW is at least as safe and effective as the cleared TUW in maintaining the urethra temperature during cryosurgical procedures.

Comparison to the Predicate Device

The SeedNet with the modified TUW has the same intend use, general and specific indications, and principles of operation as the cleared SeedNet™. In addition, the SeedNet with the modified TUW has the exact same technological characteristics as the cleared SeedNet except for their TUW accessories. The minor technical differences between the SeedNet with the modified TUW and the cleared SeedNet, which are primarily due to the SmartWarmer being designed specifically for use with the SeedNet while the cleared TUW contained an off-the-shelf components. Therefore, these differences do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. Furthermore, performance testing demonstrates that the modified TUW is as safe and effective as the cleared TUW. Thus, the SeedNet with the modified TUW is substantially equivalent.
