The document describes a cryosurgical system and its accessories, focusing on the mechanism of action (cryogenic destruction), intended uses, device components, and performance testing. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any features that would suggest the use of such technologies for image analysis, treatment planning, or system control. The modifications listed are physical additions and changes to imaging modalities, not software or algorithmic enhancements.
Yes
The device is intended for the destruction of tissue during surgical procedures for various medical conditions, including cancer and benign tissue, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.
No
Explanation: The "Intended Use" section clearly states that the SeedNet System is intended for "cryogenic destruction of tissue during surgical procedures" and is indicated for use as a "cryosurgical tool." It describes ablating or destroying various tissues, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones. While it mentions imaging modalities (CT, MRI, ultrasound), these are for guiding the procedure, not for making a diagnosis with the device itself.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "Cryosurgical unit with argon-cooled probes" and includes physical components like needles and a holder stand. This indicates it is a hardware device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the SeedNet System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the SeedNet System is for "cryogenic destruction of tissue during surgical procedures." This is a therapeutic intervention performed directly on the patient's body.
- Mechanism of Action: The device works by applying extreme cold temperatures to destroy tissue. This is a physical process applied to the patient, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient.
- Device Description: The description details a "Cryosurgical unit with argon-cooled probes." This is consistent with a surgical tool used for tissue ablation.
- Anatomical Site: The listed anatomical sites are all locations within the human body where the device is used for treatment.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, providing diagnostic information, or any other activity typically associated with IVD devices.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The SeedNet System performs a therapeutic action directly on the patient's tissue.

Performance Data & Substantial Equivalence:
The modified SeedNet Family is substantially equivalent in all aspects, e.g., technological characteristics, mode of operation, performance characteristics, intended use, etc., to the commercially available SeedNet Family. In addition, the device is also substantially equivalent to the EndoCare CryoCare system and accessories. The principle changes between the devices include:
-
- Addition of a longer 17G (1.5mm) needle which is a modification to the cleared 1.5 mm stainless steel crvoneedle.
-
- Addition of 90° needle, which is a modification to the cleared 1.5 mm stainless steel cryoneedle (the "SeedNet Cryoncedle"),
-
- Addition of a needle/TS holder stand, and
-
- Addition of CT as imaging modality to the device labeling, in addition to MRI and ultrasound.
The modified SeedNet Family and its modified accessories were subjected to a comprehensive testing process as part of the design verification process. This included electrical, mechanical and biocompatibility testing. The modified SeedNet Family does not raise any new safety and/or effectiveness issues. Thus, the modified SeedNet Family is substantially equivalent to the cleared SeedNet Family (the SeedNet®; the SeedNetGold®; the Cryo-Hit® and the CryoThera® System) and to the Endocare CryoCare system and accessories.

Dear Mr. Kahan:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of February 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.
