Intended Use

Cryosurgical unit used for ablative type surgical technique on multiple organ systems, wide range of disease, viral, premalignant and malignant tissue.

Cryosurgical instrument used to necrose unwanted tissue in the gynecological and dermatological practice

Device Description

The CryoPen system provides a safe means of freezing tissue without the use of cryogenic liquids or greenhouse gases. The system consists of multiple pen cores, a Stirling cooler which rejects heat, and a variety of reusable tips for dermatologic and gynecology applications. When used properly, the system will deliver effective temperature for tissue ablation. The model number of this Cryosurgical system is CT-2000.

The Stirling cooler is used to lower the temperature of the CryoPen units to temperatures of -105 degrees Celsius. It operates on a 24 V DC external power supply powered by 115 (or 220) V AC obtained from conventional convenience outlets. The housing of the cooler provides necessary electrical safety features and electromagnetic compatibility. A temperature indicator indicates the readiness of the CryoPen units during cool down,

AI/ML Overview

The provided text appears to be a 510(k) summary for a medical device called the "CryoPen Cryosurgical System." It describes the device, its intended use, and argues for its substantial equivalence to a predicate device. However, it does not include information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria, as typically found in clinical performance studies.

The document states: "based on the nonclinical bench testing performed on ballistic gelatin. Data generated from bench testing shows the CryoPen is able to freeze the same volume and mass as the Wallach LL100." This indicates that the equivalence was demonstrated through bench testing, not a clinical study with human patients or expert evaluations.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information about acceptance criteria, device performance from a clinical study, sample sizes, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or ground truth establishment based on the provided text.

Based on the provided text, the most relevant information regarding performance and its comparison to a predicate device is:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance (CryoPen)
Ability to freeze tissueAble to freeze tissue without cryogenic liquids or greenhouse gases
Delivered Temperature-105 degrees Celsius
Effectiveness for tissue ablationWill deliver effective temperature for tissue ablation
Freezing Volume and MassAble to freeze the same volume and mass as the Wallach LL100

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
The document mentions "nonclinical bench testing performed on ballistic gelatin." This indicates that the testing was not performed on human subjects. No specific sample size (e.g., number of tests, volume of gelatin) is provided, nor is the country of origin of the data specified. The data is from retrospective bench testing.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
Not applicable. The "ground truth" was established through physical measurements of freezing volume and mass in ballistic gelatin during bench testing, not through expert human evaluation.

4. Adjudication method for the test set
Not applicable. There was no expert adjudication process for this bench testing.

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
Not applicable. The CryoPen is a surgical instrument and not an AI device, so MRMC studies involving human readers and AI assistance are irrelevant to this submission.

6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. The CryoPen is a physical cryosurgical system, not an algorithm. Its performance is inherent to its mechanical and thermal properties.

7. The type of ground truth used
The ground truth used was physical measurements of freezing volume and mass in ballistic gelatin, compared to the performance of the predicate device.

8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. Bench testing for substantial equivalence does not typically involve a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable. There was no training set in the context of this 510(k) submission.

E. Substantial Equivalence

The CryoPen cryosurgical system is substantially equivalent to the Wallach LL100 Predicate Device, approved on February 4, 1981, (reference K803311) based on the nonclinical bench testing performed on ballistic gelatin. Data generated from bench testing shows the CryoPen is able to freeze the same volume and mass as the Wallach LL100.

The CryoPen and the Wallach LL100 destroy tissue using cryogenic temperatures. However, the CryoPen does not rely on a cryogenic gas such as nitrous oxide or carbon dioxide for cryoablation. Instead, the CryoPen uses a chilled copper mass fashioned into a treatment medium. The contacting metal incorporated in the cryotips used with the CryoPen are made of aluminum, which differs from the predicate contact material of stainless steel. Appropriate biocompatibility and sterility testing was performed on the aluminum cryotips used in the CryoPen and accessories.

The modified CryoPen and accessories have the following similarities to those which previously received 510(k) concurrence:

  • · have the same indicated use,
  • · destroy unwanted tissue by cryoablation, and
  • · method of sterilization

The Wallach LL100 510(k) K803311 has indications of "a cryosurgical instrument used to necrose unwanted tissue, generally in the gynecological and dermatological practice". The CryoPen and Accessories has clearance as a Cryosurgical unit used "for ablative type surgical technique" with use on "multiple organ systems, wide range of disease, viral, premalignant and malignant tissue." Additionally, the CryoPen system is adding the same intended use as the LL100 for use in the gynecological and dermatological practices.

Additionally, the CryoPen and Accessories uses the same sterilization methods as the Wallach LL100, cold soak and autoclave.

In summary, the CryoPen and Accessories described in this submission are substantially equivalent to the predicate device as the safety, efficacy, and intended use are equivalent,
