No
The device description focuses on hardware components, temperature control, and a standard microprocessor for control and monitoring tasks, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for analysis, decision-making, or image processing.
Yes.
The device is intended to ablate and destroy tissue (e.g., tumors, lesions, prostate tissue, cancerous tissue) and freeze nerve tissue for pain management, which falls under therapeutic indications.
No
The device is described as a system that "freezes/ablate tissue by the application of extreme cold temperatures" and "delivers cold temperatures to targeted tissue." Its function is therapeutic (ablation of tissue), not diagnostic.
No
The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as a console, Cryoprobes, TempProbes, LCD display, video printer, CD-R/W drive, keypad, and a warming system. While it mentions an IBM compatible microprocessor, the system is not solely software.
Based on the provided information, the Cryocare CN2 System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
- Cryocare CN2 System Function: The Cryocare CN2 System is used to directly treat tissue within the body by freezing/ablating it. It is a surgical device used during open, minimally invasive, or endoscopic procedures.
- Lack of Specimen Testing: The description focuses on the system's ability to deliver cold temperatures to targeted tissue and monitor temperatures in situ (within the body). There is no mention of collecting or analyzing specimens from the patient.
Therefore, the Cryocare CN2 System falls under the category of a therapeutic surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Cryocare CN2 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). Near Critical Nitrogen (NCN) is utilized as the cryogenic medium. Circulating NCN avoids the 'vapor lock' potential of liquid N2 devices since it is a transition fluid (nitrogen that is neither a liquid, nor a gas).
The Cryocare CN2 System has a fold-down 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 CN2 System can control up to four, single-use, disposable Cryoprobes and monitor up to four independent TempProbes. The console operates off standard 120/230 VAC (60/50 Hz) wall power and utilizes inert liquid nitrogen. An IBM compatible microprocessor serves as the host computer which performs all essential controls and monitoring tasks. Cryoprobe control is achieved via the keypad.
Associated accessories include the following:
- 1.) Cryoprobes that deliver cold temperatures to targeted tissue. Each Cryoprobe incorporates a thermocouple to measure internal Cryoprobe temperatures. Warm room
temperature nitrogen gas is used after the freezing process to thaw tissue. The patient contact Cryoprobe (an accessory item to the Cryocare CN2 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 CN2 System.
- TempProbes to monitor temperatures in the surrounding tissue. The TempProbes are 2.) standard T-type thermocouples.
- 3.) A warming system for use in urological applications.

- · Rationale for Substantial Equivalence
- The Cryocare CN2 System patient interface accessory Cryoprobe and Cryo-Hose 】. design is very similar to the predicate device [CMS Accuprobe accessory item already approved by the FDA1.
- The INTENDED USES and the OPERATING PRINCIPLES (i.e. Effectiveness) of 2. the Cryocare CN2 System, Cryoprobe and Cryo-Hose accessory items are the SAME as the predicate device.
- The OPERATIONAL FEATURES of the Cryocare CN2 System, Cryoprobe and 3. Cryo-Hose accessory items are the SAME to those offered by the predicated avice
- The SAFETY FEATURES of the Cryocare CN2 System, Cryoprobe and Cryo-4. Hose accessory items are the SAME to those offered by the predicate device,
Therefore, in summary, the Cryocare CN2 System, Cryoprobe and Cryo-Hose accessory items are substantially equivalent to the identified predicate device accessory items that have previously been allowed for commercial distribution in the United States.
· Safety and Effectiveness
The Cryocare CN2 System complies with the ASTM "Standard Performance and Safety Specification for Cryosurgical Medical Instruments" [Designation: F 882-84 and Davy 2002)] which reasonably assures the device is safe when used as directed for its prescribed intended use.
The Cryocare CN2 System does not raise any new issues of safety, effectiveness or performance of the device when compared to the existing predicate device.
· Conclusions
The data submitted in this 510(k) Premarket Notification, for the Cryocare CN2 System demonstrates that this device and Cryoprobe and Cryo-Hose accessory item is substantially equivalent with respect to the indications for use, operating principles, operational features, and safety features to the identified legally marketed predicate device. With the information provided, the safety and effectiveness of the product can be reasonably assured, and we believe that this device clearly meets the requirement for a "Substantial Equivalence" decision in accordance with the 510(k) guidelines.
