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, 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 turnors, 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 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 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. Associated accessories include the following: I.) CryoProbes that deliver cold temperatures to targeted tissue. The CryoProbes operate on the Joule-Thompson Principle and the refrigerative capacity is limited to the distal end of the probes. Each CryoProbe incorporates a thermocouple to measure internal CryoProbe temperatures. Helium gas is used after the freezing process to thaw tissue. As the gas passes through the J-T port, there is a significant pressure drop, which conversely results in an increase in the gas temperature. The patient contact CryoProbe (an accessory item to the Cryocare System) is supplied as a Single use Sterile Disposable item. This probe attaches to a reusable Cryo-Hose, which in turn attaches to the Cryocare System. - 2.) TempProbes to monitor temperatures in the surrounding tissue. The TempProbes are standard T-type thermocouples. - 3.) A warming system for use in urological applications.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on hardware components, temperature control, and pre-programmed parameters (AutoFreeze mode), with no mention of AI or ML capabilities for analysis, prediction, or adaptation.

Yes
The device is intended to freeze/ablate tissue for various medical conditions, which is a therapeutic action.

No

The device is a surgical system intended to freeze/ablate tissue for therapeutic purposes, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as a console, display screen, video printer, CD-R/W drive, keypad, CryoProbes, TempProbes, and a warming system, all of which are integral to the device's function. While it utilizes a microprocessor and software, it is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Cryocare CS Surgical System is a surgical device designed to freeze/ablate tissue directly within the body using extreme cold temperatures. It is used in various surgical procedures to destroy or remove targeted tissue.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze samples taken from the body. It directly interacts with and modifies tissue within the body.

The intended use and device description clearly indicate that this is a therapeutic surgical device, not a diagnostic one that analyzes biological samples.

Dear Mr. Kay:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of February 28, 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.
