No
The document describes a cryogenic surgical device that uses physical principles (Joule-Thomson Effect, Latent Heat of Vaporization) for cooling. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven algorithms for decision-making or control. The "Smart Tip" likely refers to a design feature rather than an AI component.
Yes.
The device is used to destroy tissue and produce lesions for pain blocking, which are therapeutic actions.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a "cryogenic surgical device used to destroy tissue and/or produce lesions." It is used to apply freezing cold to destroy tissue or block pain, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components: a reusable Handpiece, a Charging Dock, a single-patient use Smart Tip, and a Cartridge (Nitrous Oxide). It also describes a physical mechanism for tissue destruction (cryogenic fluid and Joule-Thomson Effect).
Based on the provided information, the Myoscience Cryo-Touch IV is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "destroy tissue during surgical procedures by applying freezing cold" and "produce lesions in peripheral nervous tissue... for the blocking of pain." This describes a therapeutic or surgical intervention performed on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details a surgical device that applies cold directly to tissue. It does not mention analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.) in a laboratory setting.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples.
- Detecting or measuring substances in samples.
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Using reagents or assays.
The device is clearly designed for direct surgical intervention on living tissue.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Myoscience Cryo-Touch IV is used to destroy tissue during surgical procedures by applying freezing cold. It can also be 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 IV is not indicated for treatment of central nervous system tissue.

Device Description
The Myoscience Cryo-Touch IV is a portable cryogenic surgical device used to destroy tissue and/or produce lesions in nervous tissue through application of extreme cold to the selected site. The device is based on introduction of a Smart Tip internally cooled by the cryogenic fluid (nitrous oxide, N-O) to a selected area. The Smart Tip is cooled by the Joule-Thomson Effect and/or Latent Heat of Vaporization. The Cryo-Touch IV may be used in conjunction with a standard off-the-shelf nerve stimulator device in applications where precise nerve location is desired.
The device is comprised of four main components:
- A reusable Handpiece 1.
-
- A Charging Dock
-
- A single-patient use Smart Tip
-
- A Cartridge (Nitrous Oxide)
The Cryo-Touch IV Handpiece is battery powered and provides feedback to the user during device preparation and use. The Handpiece connects to both the Cartridge and to the Smart Tip. The user activates a treatment cycle through a control on the Handpiece, which starts and stops the treatment. The Handpiece also contains LEDs for providing feedback to the user when the device is ready to use. The Charging Dock stores the Handpiece between uses and provides power for charging the battery.
An assortment of Smart Tips is available for the Cryo-Touch IV. All Smart Tips needles are made of stainless steel and have a closed-end that fully contains the cryogen so that it does not enter the target tissue. The Smart Tip is the only patient contacting component of the Cryo-Touch IV. The user removes the Smart Tip from the sterile packaging and attaches it to the Handpiece.
The Cryo-Touch IV uses a commercially available nitrous oxide cylinder. The Cartridge is filled with pure N20.

activates a treatment cycle through a control on the Handpiece, which starts and stops the treatment. The Handpiece also contains LEDs for providing feedback to the user when the device is ready to use. The Charging Dock stores the Handpiece between uses and provides power for charging the battery.
An assortment of Smart Tips is available for the Cryo-Touch IV.

The Smart Tip is the only patient contacting component of the Cryo-Touch IV. The user removes the Smart Tip from the sterile packaging and attaches it to the Handpiece.
The Cryo-Touch IV uses a commercially available nitrous oxide cylinder. The Cartridge is filled with pure N20.
Device Functionality/Scientific Concepts
The device functionality is based on the user introducing the Smart Tip to the selected treatment area: unwanted tissue or the target nervous tissue. The user then initiates the flow of cryogen by pressing the on/off button. Liquid cryogen flows from the Handpiece into the closed-end Smart Tip is cooled by the Joule-Thomson Effect and/or Latent Heat of Vaporization; as the liquid cryogen expands into a gas, the temperature drops around the external surface of the Smart Tip causing the surrounding tissue to freeze. The treatment is completed after a pre-programmed amount of time at which time the user can safely remove the Smart Tip.
d. Intended Use
The Myoscience Cryo-Touch IV is used to destroy tissue during surgical procedures by applying freezing cold. It can also be 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 IV is not indicated for treatment of central nervous system tissue.

Dear Tracey Henry:
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 application (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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
