No
The summary describes a cryosurgical unit that uses the Joule-Thompson principle for tissue destruction and cryoadhesion. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The technology described is based on physical principles of gas expansion and cooling.

Yes
The device is described as a "Cryosurgical Unit" used for "devitalization (destruction) of tissue" during surgical procedures and is indicated for various clinical conditions across multiple medical specialties, including cancer management (palliative treatment), all of which are therapeutic interventions.

No

The device is a therapeutic device used for the destruction of tissue and removal of foreign bodies, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Cryosurgical Unit and Accessories" that uses the Joule-Thompson principle with gas (Nitrous Oxide or CO2) to apply extreme cold via probes. This clearly describes a hardware device, not software only.

Based on the provided information, the ERBE ERBOKRYO® CA Cryosurgical Unit and accessories is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for the "devitalization (destruction) of tissue during surgical procedures by the application of extreme cold and for removal of foreign bodies, mucous plugs, necrotic tissue, and tissue biopsy by cryoadhesion." This describes a surgical intervention performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a cryosurgical unit that applies extreme cold to tissue using the Joule-Thompson principle. This is a physical process applied to living tissue.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is typically used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) outside the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The ERBE ERBOKRYO® CA does not perform any such analysis of specimens. It is a therapeutic device used for direct treatment.

Therefore, the ERBE ERBOKRYO® CA Cryosurgical Unit and accessories is a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
