The 510(k) summary describes a cryoablation needle and a process improvement for its shaft markings. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The device is a physical tool used in conjunction with a cryoablation system, and the clearance is for a manufacturing process change.
Yes
The device is intended for cryoablative destruction of tissue (e.g., tumors, lesions, prostate tissue) during surgical procedures, which directly treats medical conditions.
No
This device is a cryoablation needle intended for the destruction of tissue, not for diagnosing conditions. While it is used with a CT imaging system for guidance during procedures, the needle itself is a therapeutic tool.
No
The device is a physical cryoablation needle, a hardware component used in surgical procedures. The 510(k) is for a process improvement to the markings on the needle shaft, not for a software component.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "cryoablative destruction of tissue during surgical procedures." This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device is a "Cryoablation Needle" used in conjunction with a "Cryoablation System." This describes a surgical tool used for physical intervention.
- Lack of In Vitro Activity: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue samples) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health.
IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions. This device is used to physically destroy tissue within the body.

Device Description
Galil is requesting clearance of a laser marking process improvement technique used to create the "markings" on the needle shaft of the previously cleared IceRod CX Needle (K121251). Galil's IceRod CX Needle (K121251) is a sterile, single use, disposable component used in conjunction with Galil Medical's Visual-ICE Cryoablation System (K113860, K123865) when performing cryoablative destruction of tissue. The needle has a sharp cutting tip, a 1.5mm (17G) shaft, a color-coded handle, gas tubing, and a connector. The handle is in a 90° configuration to aid positioning of the needle within the CT imaging system gantry. The IceRod CX needle contains shaft markings to aid the physician in needle placement. There are no changes to the marking dimensions on the needle. Only the marking technique has been modified.
Since Galil is requesting clearance for a revised shaft marking process improvement technique for the IceRod CX Cryoablation Needle design itself (with the exception of the shaft marking method) has not changed. There are no other design, specification, process, or material changes to the needle; additionally, the model number of the needle is unchanged.

The IceRod CX needle design, with the exception of the laser marking process improvement technique for the "markings" on the needle shaft, remains the same and therefore, the design verification testing located in Section 18 Performance Testing - Bench provided in K121251 is applicable. Therefore, since the shaft marking technology is the only change being made to Gali's IceRod CX needle, Galil Medical conducted shaft qualification testing, heat affected zone measurements and shaft marking quality and adherence to specifications. The tests were conducted to ensure the laser marking on the needle shaft does not impact the needle integrity and thereby verify safety and performance characteristics and to establish substantial equivalence.

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)

Summary of Performance Data and Substantial Equivalence:
The IceRod CX needle design, with the exception of the laser marking process improvement technique for the "markings" on the needle shaft, remains the same and therefore, the design verification testing located in Section 18 Performance Testing - Bench provided in K121251 is applicable. Therefore, since the shaft marking technology is the only change being made to Gali's IceRod CX needle, Galil Medical conducted shaft qualification testing, heat affected zone measurements and shaft marking quality and adherence to specifications. The tests were conducted to ensure the laser marking on the needle shaft does not impact the needle integrity and thereby verify safety and performance characteristics and to establish substantial equivalence.
Conclusion:
Galil Medical believes the information and data provided in this Special 510(k) Notification establishes that the IceRod CX Needle utilizing the laser marking process improvement technique to "mark" the needle shaft does not affect safety or effectiveness, or raise different questions of safety and effectiveness from that cleared in the original IceRod CX 510(k) K121251 and is therefore, substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device.
