Intended Use
The Cryocare CS Surgical System is intended for use in open, minimally invasive or endoscopic surgical procedures in the areas in general surgery, urology, gynecology, oncology, neurology, dermatology, ENT, proctology, pulmonary surgery and thoracic surgery. The system is designed to freeze/ablate tissue by the application of extreme cold temperatures including prostate and kidney tissue, liver metastases, tumors, skin lesions, and warts. In addition, the system is intended for use in the following indications: General Surgery - Destruction of warts or lesions . - Palliation of tumors of the oral cavity, rectum and skin . - Ablation of leukoplakia of the mouth, 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, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, perianal condylomata, pilonidal cysts, actinic and seborrheic keratoses, cavernous hemanglomas, recurrent cancerous lesions Urology - Ablation of prostate tissue in cases of prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia . Gynecology - Ablation of malignant neoplasia or benign dysplasia of the female genitalia . Oncology - Ablation of cancerous or malignant tissue ● - Ablation of benign tumors ● - Palliative intervention ● Neurology - Freezing of nerve tissue in pain management/cryoanalgesia ● Dermatology - Ablation or freezing of skin cancers and other cutaneous disorders . Proctology - Ablation of benign or malignant growths of the anus or rectum . - Ablation of hemorrhoids ● Thoracic Surgery - Ablation of arrhythmic cardiac tissue . - Ablation of cancerous lesions ●
Device Description
The Cryocare CS (Combo System) Surgical System consists of a compact, easy-to- operate console that delivers cold temperatures to targeted tissue (via connected CryoProbes) and monitors temperatures in the surrounding tissue (via connected TempProbes). The Cryocare CS Surgical System has a fold-down 19" LCD high-resolution display screen, a video printer for hard copy prints of the captured images and patient information, a CD-R/W drive for data storage and retrieval, an alphanumeric keypad and a remote keypad. The Cryocare CS unit integrates the functions of the existing Cryocare surgical system and the CryoGuide system into one console. The CryoGuide software is an optional brachy-like intraoperative real-time guidance and planning system, which identifies and guides CryoProbe placement for prostate procedures. An added feature to the Cryocare CS Surgical System is integration of the Terason 2000 ultrasound trans-rectal probe for dedicated prostate imaging. The ultrasound module utilizes the Terason Model 2000 Handheld Ultrasound System using Model 8EC4 Endocavity Smart Probe. It is capable of transverse and sagital views, and operates in B, Power Doppler, Color Doppler (including directional and non-directional Power Doppler), and Harmonic Imaging. This use includes ultrasound guidance for placement of needles, cryosurgery, and brachytherapy. Ultrasound images may be obtained either from an external ultrasound (via video connection) or from the integrated Terason 2000 ultrasound module. The user screen simultaneously displays the real-time ultrasound image along with the treatment screen. For prostate procedures, the treatment screen displays the prostagraph showing the anatomical CryoProbe and TempProbe placements and associated temperature readings. The Cryocare CS Surgical System can control up to eight, single-use, disposable CryoProbes and monitor up to eight independent TempProbes. The console operates off standard 120/230 VAC (60/50 Hz) wall power and utilizes inert argon and helium gas. An IBM-compatible microprocessor serves as the host computer operating in a Windows environment. CryoProbe control can also be achieved via the remote control keypad. The CryoProbes can be operated manually or using the AutoFreeze mode, which allows users to pre-program specific prostate treatment parameters.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the hardware components, software for guidance and planning (CryoGuide), and integration with ultrasound imaging. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms for image analysis, treatment planning, or any other function. The "AutoFreeze mode" appears to be a pre-programmed parameter setting, not an AI-driven feature.

Yes
The device is used to freeze/ablate tissue for various medical conditions, including tumors, lesions, and other medical issues, which falls under the definition of therapeutic use.

No

The device is described as a surgical system designed to freeze/ablate tissue. While it includes an ultrasound module for imaging and guidance during procedures, its primary intended use is therapeutic (tissue ablation), not diagnostic (identifying or characterizing disease). The ultrasound is used to guide the placement of cryoprobes, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical console, CryoProbes, TempProbes, a display screen, a video printer, a CD-R/W drive, keypads, and an integrated ultrasound module. While it includes software (CryoGuide), it is part of a larger hardware system designed for cryoablation.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical system designed to freeze/ablate tissue for therapeutic purposes in various surgical procedures. This is a direct treatment method, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The device description details a console that delivers cold temperatures via probes, monitors tissue temperature, and integrates with ultrasound for guidance during surgical procedures. These are all components and functions related to a surgical intervention, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.) outside the body to diagnose a condition or provide information about a patient's health status.

In summary, the Cryocare CS Surgical System is a therapeutic device used for tissue ablation during surgery, which falls outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

| INDICATIONS FOR
USE | The Cryocare CS Surgical System has the same intended use as previously
cleared for the Cryocare CS Surgical System - K023757. |
| | The Cryocare CS Surgical System is intended for use in open, minimally invasive
or endoscopic surgical procedures in the areas in general surgery, urology,
gynecology, oncology, neurology, dermatology, ENT, proctology, pulmonary
surgery and thoracic surgery. The system is designed to freeze/ablate tissue by the
application of extreme cold temperatures including prostate and kidney tissue, liver
metastases, tumors, skin lesions, and warts. |
| | The intended uses of the Terason 2000 Ultrasound System, when used as a part of
the Cryocare CS Surgical System, are a subset of the uses cleared under K030191,
and are documented in section 4.3 of this submission. |
| SUMMARY OF
SUBSTANTIAL
EQUIVALENCE | The Cryocare CS Surgical System has the following similarities to that of the
previously cleared predicate devices:
Has the same intended use, Use the same operating principle and has not altered the fundamental technology, Incorporate the same CryoProbe, Incorporate the same system design, Incorporate the same patient contacting materials, Same manufacturing materials, and Packaged and sterilized using the same materials and processes. |
| | In summary, the modified Cryocare CS Surgical System described in this
submission is, in our opinion, substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. |
