The summary describes a physical cryo-ablation probe and its intended use for freezing cardiac tissue. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any software-based decision-making or analysis that would typically indicate the presence of AI/ML. The performance studies focus on mechanical, reliability, cryogen performance, and biocompatibility testing, not algorithmic performance.
Yes
The device is intended for the cryosurgical treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, which is a therapeutic intervention.
No
The device is described as a cryo-ablation probe used for the surgical treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, which involves freezing target tissues to block electrical conduction. This is a therapeutic action, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "sterile, single use, cryosurgical device" with physical components like a cryotip, shaft, handle, tubes, and thermocouple. It is used in conjunction with hardware systems (Cryo Module or ACC2).
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 "cryosurgical treatment of cardiac arrhythmias" by freezing target tissues within the body to block electrical conduction. This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient.
- Device Description: The device is a "cryosurgical device" used in conjunction with a cryo module or system to freeze tissue. This describes a surgical instrument used for treatment.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) outside the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis of specimens.
The device is a surgical tool used for a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

VIII. Conclusions
The modified cryolCE cryo-ablation probe is equivalent to the previously cleared Cryo1 cryoablation probe as there is no change to intended use, the operating principle, or the basic design of the cryo-ablation probe. The modifications to the cryo-ablation probe do not affect the ability of the probe to successfully ablate cardiac tissue.
