The summary describes a standard cryogen spray system for treating skin lesions, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.
Yes
The device is described as being used for the "treatment of skin lesions" and lists several medical conditions it is intended to address, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.
No
The device is described for the "treatment of skin lesions" and is used to "freeze common skin lesions," indicating a therapeutic rather than diagnostic purpose.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "cryogen spray system" and utilizes a "standard cryogen composition profile," indicating it is a hardware device that delivers a substance.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the treatment of various skin lesions by freezing them. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The device is described as a "cryogen spray system" used in the "practice of dermatology in the treatment of skin lesions." This further reinforces its therapeutic purpose.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (like blood, tissue, or urine) or to provide information for the diagnosis of a disease or condition.
IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This device is used in vivo (on the body) for treatment.

Description of the Device:
ﺔ ﺗ
The Nuance Freeze Spray System is used in the practice of dermatology in the treatment of skin lesions using a cryogen spray system. This methodology is an accepted practice used by physicians for decades using accepted procedures and techniques. It utilizes a standard cryogen composition profile to freeze common skin lesions.
Indications for Use:
The Nuance Freeze Spray System indications for use as follows:
1.1.1.2-tetrafluoroethane, pentafluoroethane, and 1,1,1-trifluoroethane is to be used for the treatment of verruca (warts) including plantar warts, seborrheic keratoses, actinic keratosis, achrochorodon, molluscum contagiosum, age spots, dermatofibroma, small keltoids, granuloma annulare, Porokeratosis Plantaris, Angiomas, Keratoacanthoma, chrondrodermatitis, epithelial nevus, Leukoplakia, granuloma pyogenicum, and pyogenic granuloma.
Technical Characteristics:
The cryogen used in the Nuance Freeze Spray System is 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, Pentafluoroethane, and 1,1,1-trifluoroethane also commonly known as R-404a and is produced as a standard formulation by numerous chemical companies. Nuance Medical is using the exact same chemical composition and formulation as the predicate device. All other characteristics of the Nuance System are designed to be identical or nearly identical as the predicate device. The methods for delivering the cryogen are similar to the predicate.
Substantial Equivalence:
Nuance Freeze Spray System and its predicate devices that are used for the treatments of skin lesions using cryogen with the same chemical composition by type and percent of components: 1.1.2-tetrafluoroethane (4%), Pentafluoroethane (44%), and 1.1.1-trifluoroethane (54%). Differences in the technological characteristics are negligible and would be limited to discussion and promotion of product, marketing materials, cosmetic labeling, etc. Nuance Freeze Spray System and its predicate devices do not raise any new issues of safety or efficacv. Thus. Nuance Freeze Spray System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices for treatment of certain skin lesions outlined in the indications for use.
Conclusion:
Based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, and comparison to predicate devices, the proposed device has been shown to be safe and effective for its intended use.
