Intended Use
The Galil Medical IceRod CX Cryoablation Needle is intended for cryoablative destruction of tissue during surgical procedures. The IceRod CX Cryoablation Needle is indicated for use as a cryosurgical tool in the fields of general surgery, dermatology, neurology (including cryoanalgesia), thoracic surgery (with the exception of cardiac tissue), ENT, gynecology, oncology, proctology, and urology. The systems are designed to destroy tissue by the application of extreme cold temperatures including prostate and kidney tissue, liver metastases, tumors, skin lesions, and warts. The Galil Medical IceRod CX Cryoablation Needle has the following specific indications: - Urology (ablation of prostate tissue in cases of prostate cancer and Benign Prostate . Hyperplasia "BPH") - . Oncology (ablation of cancerous or malignant tissue and benign tumors, and palliative intervention) - . Dermatology (ablation or freezing of skin cancers and other cutaneous disorders. Destruction of warts or lesions, angiomas, sebaceous hyperplasia, basal cell tumors of the eyelid or canthus area, ulcerated basal cell tumors, dermatofibromas small hemanglomas, mucocele cysts, multiple warts, plantar warts, actinic and seborrheic keratoses, cavernous hemanglomas, perianal condylomata, and palliation of tumors of the skin.) - . Gynecology (ablation of malignant neoplasia or benign dysplasia of the female genitalia) - . General surgery (palliation of tumors of the rectum, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, pilonidal cysts, and recurrent cancerous lesions, ablation of breast fibroadenoma) - ENT (Palliation of tumors of the oral cavity and ablation of leukoplakia of the mouth) . - . Thoracic surgery (with the exception of cardiac tissue) - . Proctology (ablation of benign or malignant growths of the anus or rectum, and hemorrhoids)
Device Description
The IceRod CX Cryoablation Needle is a sterile, single use, disposable component used in conjunction with Galil Medical's Visual-ICE Cryoablation System when performing cryoablative destruction of tissue. It is intended to convert high-pressure gas to either a very cold freezing application or to a warm thawing application. The IceRod CX disposable cryoablation needle has a 17G shaft, a sharp cutting tip, a color-coded handle, a gas tube, and a connector containing a small PCB board capable of relaying needle information such as needle type, lot number, and expiration date information to Galil's Visual-ICE Cryoablation System. Additionally, the needle exhibits markings to aid in positioning the needle in tissue. The IceRod CX needle differs from the predicate devices in that the distal shaft of the needle contains a non-stick coating and Galil's i-Thaw electrical thaw technology can be used for FastThaw and/or Track Ablation following a cryoablation procedure when used with Galil's Visual-ICE Cryoablation System.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical and thermal aspects of the device, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities for analysis, decision-making, or image processing. The PCB board is described as relaying basic needle information, not performing complex computations.

Yes
The device is intended for "cryoablative destruction of tissue during surgical procedures" for a variety of conditions, which directly indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is intended for cryoablative destruction of tissue, not for diagnosis. It is a surgical tool designed to treat or destroy tissue, not identify conditions.

No

The device is a physical cryoablation needle with a PCB board, designed for surgical procedures involving tissue destruction through extreme cold. It is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided text, the Galil Medical IceRod CX Cryoablation Needle is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "cryoablative destruction of tissue during surgical procedures." This is an in vivo (within a living organism) procedure, not an in vitro (outside of a living organism) diagnostic test.
  • Device Description: The description details a needle used to apply extreme cold temperatures directly to tissue within the body. This is a therapeutic/surgical device, not a device used to analyze samples like blood, urine, or tissue in a lab setting.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: The text does not mention any function related to diagnosing a disease or condition by analyzing biological samples.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. The IceRod CX Cryoablation Needle performs a therapeutic action (tissue destruction) directly on the patient.
