More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a refrigeration unit and air hose for cooling the skin, with no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or other sections.

No.
The device is intended to minimize pain and thermal injury and provide temporary topical anesthetic relief, which are symptomatic relief and adjuncts to other treatments, rather than directly treating a disease or condition.

No
The device is intended to minimize pain and provide temporary topical anesthetic relief, which are therapeutic and palliative functions, not diagnostic. It does not identify a disease, condition, or state of health.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a "refrigeration unit" and an "air hose," which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to minimize pain and thermal injury during laser and dermatological treatments and for temporary topical anesthetic relief for injections. This is a therapeutic and pain management function applied directly to the patient's skin.
  • Device Description: The device description clearly states it's a refrigeration unit that blows cold air onto the skin. This is a physical therapy/treatment device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not interact with any specimens or provide diagnostic information.

Therefore, the Cryoflow 700 and Cryoflow 1000 fall under the category of a therapeutic or physical medicine device, not an IVD.

Dear Nico Beun:

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 cither 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.

2

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), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
