No
The description focuses on the mechanical and control aspects of a cryosurgical device, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The software mentioned manages basic functions like timing, pressure, and data, which are typical for a non-AI/ML controlled system.
Yes
The device is described as a "cryosurgical tool" intended "to ablate benign and malignant lesions," which fits the definition of a therapeutic device as it directly treats a medical condition.
No
Explanation: The truFreeze device is described as a cryosurgical tool intended for the destruction of tissue (ablation of benign and malignant lesions), which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly outlines hardware components including a console with a touch panel computer, cryogen, suction, and electronics modules, a mobile cart, foot pedals, a wireless remote control, a fill kit, and disposable spray kits with catheters and decompression tubes. While software is mentioned as managing functions, it is integral to the operation of the physical device.
Based on the provided information, the truFreeze device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "cryogenic destruction of tissue" and "to ablate benign and malignant lesions." This describes a therapeutic procedure performed directly on a patient's tissue, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description details a system for applying liquid nitrogen to tissue, including a console, catheters, and suction. This aligns with a surgical or therapeutic device, not a device for analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.
The truFreeze is a therapeutic device used for cryosurgery.

Device Description
The truFreeze system is a cryosurgical tool that applies medical-grade liquid nitrogen to the treatment area via a small, low pressure, open tipped catheter. The truFreeze System consists of (1) a console and (2) a disposable spray kit.
Console:
The console is the central interface of the system and is comprised of a touch panel computer (TPC) and cryogen, suction and electronics modules packaged in a mobile cart. Users interact with the console through a dual foot pedal and a touch panel. An off-the- shelf controller and associated software manage the cryogen level sensing, filling, pressure, cooling, defrost, suction, timing and data management functions. A wireless remote control provides alternative timer control from a distance in the treatment room. A fill kit, stored on the rear of the console, allows for liquid nitrogen transfer from the source tank to the console. Safety features include indicators, tank pressure relief valves, an isolated low voltage power system, and an emergency button to be used in the event of user or technical malfunction.
Disposable spray kit:
The truFreeze disposable spray kit consists of 5 individually packaged sterile single-use catheters ( 7 Fr Straight Tip Catheter and one Catheter Introducer.) and 5 individually packaged cryogen decompression tubes (CDTs) (each containing one Dual Lumen 20 Fr CryoDecompression Tube (CDT), Connector, and Suction Tubing.). The catheter is flexible and capable of retroflex in a scope. The CDT and accessory tubes are included for use with the on-board suction system.

Disposable spray kit:
The truFreeze disposable spray kit consists of 5 individually packaged sterile single-use catheters ( 7 Fr Straight Tip Catheter and one Catheter Introducer.) and 5 individually packaged cryogen decompression tubes (CDTs) (each containing one Dual Lumen 20 Fr CryoDecompression Tube (CDT), Connector, and Suction Tubing.). The catheter is flexible and capable of retroflex in a scope. The CDT and accessory tubes are included for use with the on-board suction system.
Intended Use/Indications for Use
The truFreeze System is similar in its Intended Use as the predicate device (K102360 IceSense3). Both devices describe the ablation of benign and malignant tissue in general terms.
The requirement to use active or passive venting is in the cleared truFreeze Instructions for Use document (K113021) and adding it to the intended use/indications for use statement highlights the importance of venting and will enhance safe use of the device. Therefore, the revised intended use/indications for use statement raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness.
The truFreeze is intended for cryogenic destruction of tissue requiring either active or passive venting during surgical procedures.
The truFreeze is indicated for use as a cryosurgical tool in the fields of dermatology, gynecology, and general surgery, to ablate benign and malignant lesions.
Technical and Operational Characteristics
The truFreeze System is similar in design, operational and technological characteristics as the predicate device and supports that no new safety concerns are being raised by change in intended use/indications for use statement and thus raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness.
Summary of Testing
The truFreeze System was previously subjected to a comprehensive test program that included electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility testing, software testing, animal testing, biocompatibility and sterilization testing. Since the change in:the, truFreeze, system limited to the Indications for Use, limited bench testing swas conducted to support

Rationale For Substantial Equivalence
The Intended Use/Indications for Use statement and technological characteristics of the truFreeze System and the predicate device (K102360 IceSense3) were compared. The Intended Use/Indications for Use statement of the two devices had equivalent general claims and do not raise new questions of safety and performance. Bench testing demonstrated that both devices can achieve equivalently cold temperatures in equivalent time periods to produce equivalent amounts of ice. These temperatures are cold enough to destroy unwanted benign or malignant tissue. This proposed change to the Indications for Use is well supported by a review of the peer reviewed clinical literature and are similar to those of the predicate device with the same general intended use of cryogenic destruction of benign or malignant tissue during surgical procedures.
The truFreeze device requires either active or passive venting for safe use. This is described within the previously cleared Instructions for Use document for the truFreeze device. The addition of this statement to the Intended Use/Indications for Use statement enhances the safe use of the device.
Conclusion
Based on the label and technology comparison as well as the performance testing, the truFreeze device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device listed above.
