More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a cryosurgical system that uses argon gas to freeze tissue. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies summary. The technology described is based on physical principles of cryoablation.

Yes
The device is intended for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias by freezing target tissue to block electrical conduction pathways, which is a therapeutic action.

No

The device description indicates it "freezes the target tissue and blocks the electrical conduction pathways by creating an inflammatory response and cryonecrosis," which describes a therapeutic action, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a console, probes, clamp, and gas system, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device with potential software control.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "minimally invasive cardiac surgical procedures, including the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias." This describes a surgical intervention performed directly on the patient's tissue.
  • Mechanism of Action: The device "freezes the target tissue and blocks the electrical conduction pathways." This is a physical action performed on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a system of components used to deliver cold temperatures to tissue during surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

IVD devices are designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is a surgical tool used for treatment, not diagnosis.

Trade Name: SurgiFrost® 6 cm, 7 cm and 10 cm CryoSurgical Devices plus FrostByte™ Clamp Regulation Number: 21 CFR 878.4350 Regulation Name: Cryosurgical unit and accessories Regulatory Class: Class II (two) Product Code: OCL Dated: December 8, 2005 Received: December 9, 2005

Dear Ms. Arana:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of January 13, 2006.

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 (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 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 r hat 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.

This letter will allow you to continue 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) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html
