The document describes a computer-controlled system with a user interface for controlling cryoablation. The software modifications listed are primarily usability enhancements and adjustments to system parameters, not indicative of AI/ML algorithms for tasks like image analysis, prediction, or automated decision-making. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.
Yes
The device is described as a "Cryoablation System" intended for "cryoablative destruction of tissue during surgical procedures" for various medical conditions, indicating its use in treating diseases or medical conditions, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.
No
The device is a cryoablation system used for the destruction of tissue during surgical procedures, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "mobile console system" that uses "high-pressure argon gas" and "helium gas" circulating through "closed-tip cryoablation needles" to induce freezing and thawing. This indicates significant hardware components beyond just software. The software modifications described are enhancements to the user interface and control of this hardware system.
Based on the provided text, the Visual-ICE™ Cryoablation System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "cryoablative destruction of tissue during surgical procedures." This involves directly treating tissue within the body, not analyzing samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The device description details a system that uses compressed gases and needles to freeze and thaw tissue in situ. It does not describe any components or processes for analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue biopsies, etc.)
- Providing diagnostic information based on sample analysis
- Reagents or assays
The Visual-ICE Cryoablation System is a therapeutic device used for surgical intervention, not a diagnostic tool.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Visual-ICE™ Cryoablation System is intended for cryoablative destruction of tissue during surgical procedures. The Visual-ICE System is indicated for use as a cryosurgical tool in the fields of general surgery, dermatology, neurology (including cryoanalgesia), thoracic surgery, ENT, gynecology, oncology, proctology, and urology. The system is designed to destroy tissue by the application of extreme cold temperatures including prostate and kidney tissue, liver metastases, tumors, skin lesions, and warts.
The Visual-ICE Cryoablation System 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 turnors, dermatofibromas small hemanglomas, mucocele cysts, multiple warts, plantar warts, actinic and seborrheic keratoses, cavernous hemangiomas, 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 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 (ablation of arrhythmic cardiac tissue cancerous lesions) .
- . Proctology (ablation of benign or malignant growths of the anus or rectum, and hemomhoids)

Device Description
The Visual-ICE Cryoablation System is a mobile console system intended for cryoablative tissue destruction using a minimally invasive procedure. The system is computer-controlled with a touch screen user interface that allows the user to control and monitor the procedure. The therapy delivered by the system is based on the Joule-Thomson effect displayed by compressed gases. The Visual-ICE System uses high-pressure argon gas that circulates through closed-tip cryoablation needles to induce tissue freezing. Active tissue thawing is achieved by circulating. helium gas through the needles or, alternatively, by the use of Galil Medical i-Thaw technology in which a heating element inside the cryoablation needle can be energized to cause thawing.
This Special 510(k) is being submitted to modify the software with a variety of changes to enhance usability of the system. These changes are primary being made to the user interface and the service and maintenance screens. Basic functionality of the system remains unchanged, however, the following functional modifications have been made:
- . Organ map display has been modified to allow users to place MTS needles on the Organ Map,
- When all channels are locked and linked together the Test All button icon state identifies the . state for all channels.
- The software defaults all needles to the first 1-wire needle that was attached. .
- User interface can display up to three large timers instead of two. .
- Freeze-thaw cycles can now be programmed for all channels using the All button, .
- The software wams the user of low gas when the remaining gas time reaches 10 minutes . instead of 5 minutes,
- "Stick" intensity has been changed from 20% to 5%, .
- Helium low-pressure warning was reduced to 1800 PSI from 2100 PSI. .
