Intended Use

The MyoScience Cryo-Touch is used to produce lesions in peripheral nervous tissue by the application of cold to the selected site for the blocking of pain. The Cryo-Touch is nog indicated for treatment of central nervous system tissue.

Device Description

The MyoScience Cryo-Touch is a hand-held, single patient-use disposable, cryogenic device used to destroy nervous tissue or produce lesions in peripheral nervous tissue by the application of cold to the selected site for the purposes of blocking pain. The Cryo-Touch has been developed for applications in cryoanalgesia. Cryoanalgesia for intractable pain involves the location and freezing of the nerve associated with the pain. The device is based on introduction of a cryoprobe cooled by the cryogenic fluid (liquid nitrous oxide (N₂Q)) to the selected site and activation of the freeze control. An iceball forms around the tip of the needle assembly and the adjacent nerve. The Cryo-Touch may be used with a standard off-the-shelf nerve stimulator device in applications where precise nerve location is desired.

AI/ML Overview

The MyoScience Cryo-Touch is a cryogenic surgical device intended to produce lesions in peripheral nervous tissue by applying cold to block pain. The submission, K100447, describes modifications to a previously cleared device (K083493), specifically the addition of a proprietary internal filter and an enhanced target treatment temperature of -65°C.

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The provided document does not explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria in a table format with specific thresholds (e.g., "temperature must be -65°C +/- 2°C"). Instead, it describes general design requirements and performance goals. However, the key performance aspect highlighted for the modified device is its ability to achieve a specific temperature.

Acceptance Criterion (Implicit)Reported Device Performance
System Performance (General)Met design requirements for system performance.
Temperature Profiling during Simulated Use ConditionsMet design requirements for temperature profiling.
Target Treatment Temperature within Range of Predicate DevicesDelivers a target treatment temperature of -65°C. This temperature is within the range of the other predicate devices (Cryo-PaC, Painblocker WA5000, and Neurostat), which target -55°C to -80°C.
Cryolesioning Effects on Peripheral NervesEvaluated impact on physiologic function and histologic changes in a preclinical rat model.
Safety (Biocompatibility)Identical to predicate device, implying biocompatible patient-contacting materials.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Sample Size: The document does not specify a distinct "test set" sample size for the verification testing. For the preclinical animal study, it mentions "a rat model" but does not provide the number of animals used.
  • Data Provenance:
    • Verification testing: Performed internally by MyoScience. The country of origin is not specified, but MyoScience is based in Redwood City, CA, USA, suggesting the testing was likely conducted in the USA.
    • Preclinical animal study: Performed using a "rat model." The location of the study is not specified.
    • Nature of data: Both verification testing and the preclinical animal study were prospective in nature, designed specifically to evaluate the device.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

This information is not provided in the submission. The studies described are non-clinical (device performance verification and animal study) and do not involve human expert interpretation for "ground truth" in the way a diagnostic AI device would.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

This information is not applicable/not provided as the described studies are non-clinical and do not involve human expert adjudication of a test set in the context of diagnostic accuracy.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

No, a multi-reader, multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not performed. This submission is for a therapeutic cryogenic surgical device, not a diagnostic imaging AI algorithm that would typically involve human readers. The study focuses on the device's physical performance and biological effect, not on human interpretation or decision-making.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

This question is not applicable as the device is a physical surgical instrument, not a standalone algorithm. The device's performance is inherently "standalone" in terms of its mechanical and thermal operation.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

  • Verification Testing: The "ground truth" for system performance and temperature profiling would be based on engineering specifications and established measurement standards, comparing measured physical parameters to pre-defined design requirements.
  • Preclinical Animal Study: The "ground truth" for evaluating the impact of cryotreatment on peripheral nerves would be based on physiological function assessments and histological changes observed in the rat model. This involves direct observation and analysis of biological tissue and function.

8. The sample size for the training set

This information is not applicable/not provided. This device does not employ machine learning or AI that would require a "training set." The development relies on engineering design, physical principles, and biological testing.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

This information is not applicable/not provided as there is no training set for this device.

c. Description of Device

The MyoScience Cryo-Touch is a hand-held, single patient-use disposable, cryogenic device used to destroy nervous tissue or produce lesions in peripheral nervous tissue by the application of cold to the selected site for the purposes of blocking pain. The Cryo-Touch has been developed for applications in cryoanalgesia. Cryoanalgesia for intractable pain involves the location and freezing of the nerve associated with the pain.

The device is based on introduction of a cryoprobe cooled by the cryogenic fluid (liquid nitrous oxide (N₂Q)) to the selected site and activation of the freeze control. An iceball forms around the tip of the needle assembly and the adjacent nerve.

The Cryo-Touch may be used with a standard off-the-shelf nerve stimulator device in applications where precise nerve location is desired.

Device Design

The device is comprised of three main components:

Section 5: 510k Summary

{1}------------------------------------------------

· MyoScience

Premarket Notification

  • a control unit (controller) with cryogen cap, 1)
  • needle assembly (Cryoprobe), and 2)
  • a cryogen cylinder(Nitrous Oxide). 3)

The entire device is hand-held and for single patient-use.

The Crvo-Touch controller is battery operated; the battery powers electronics within the controller that control the nitrous oxide flow and regulate light emitting diodes (LEDs) that provide feedback to the user when the device is ready to use.

An assortment of needle assemblies is available for the Cryo-Touch, ranging from a single to a dual needle, from 25 gauge to 30 gauge, and from 10mm to 25 mm in length. All needle assemblies are made of stainless steel and have a closed-tip that fully contains the cryogen so that it does not enter the target tissue. The needle assembly is the only patient contacting component of the Cryo-Touch. The user removes the needle assembly from the sterile packaging and attaches it to the controller by inserting the needle hub end into the distal end of the controller.

The cryogen is provided as a nitrous oxide cylinder. The cartridge is filled with liquid N₂O (83%) and the rest with NJO gas. A single nitrous oxide cylinder treats for approximately 180 seconds. The cylinder, once empty, may be replaced with a new cylinder by the user.

Device Functionality/Scientific Concepts

The device functionality is based on the user introducing the needle assembly proximate to the target nervous tissue. The user then initiates the flow of cryogen by opening the start/stop valve. Liquid cryogen flows from the controller into the closed-tip needle is cooled by the Jouled by the Joule-Thompson effect; as the liquid cryogen expands into a gas, an iceball develops around the external surface of the needle assembly causing the surrounding tissue to be frozen. As the iceball grows, its leading edge advances through the tissue and tissue that comes into contact with the needle is frozen to a nominal target temperature of -65°C (-85°F). The user then stops the flow of cryogen by closing the start/stop valve and allows the iceball to thaw before removing the needle assembly.

d. Intended Use

The MyoScience Cryo-Touch is used to produce lesions in peripheral nervous tissue by the application of cold to the selected site for the blocking of pain. The Cryo-Touch is not indicated for treatment of central nervous system tissue.

e. Comparison to Predicate Devices

The MyoScience Cryo-Touch is substantially equivalent in intended use, technology, design and materials to the above listed legally marketed predicate devices. The technological characteristics of the new device in comparison to the predicate devices are summarized below:
