The summary describes a cryogenic surgical device that uses physical principles (Joule-Thomson Effect, Latent Heat of Vaporization) for cooling. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven algorithms for decision making or analysis. The software testing focuses on basic verification of parameters and is classified as "moderate" concern, which is typical for device control software, not AI/ML.
Yes
The device is described as destroying tissue and producing lesions in nervous tissue to block pain, which are therapeutic actions. It is used in surgical procedures.
No
The device is described as a "cryogenic surgical device used to destroy tissue and/or produce lesions," indicating a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function. It applies cold for tissue destruction and pain blocking, which are treatment actions.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components (Handpiece, Charging Dock, Smart Tips, Cartridge) and the performance studies include biocompatibility and bench testing related to these physical components. While software testing is mentioned, it is for software contained in the medical device, not the device itself being solely software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is used to "destroy tissue during surgical procedures by applying freezing cold" and "produce lesions in peripheral nervous tissue by the application of cold to the blocking of pain." This describes a therapeutic or surgical intervention performed on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient's body to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The description details a system that applies cold directly to tissue and nervous tissue. This aligns with a surgical or therapeutic device, not a device used for in vitro testing.
- 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.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device's function is to directly modify tissue or nerve function through the application of cold.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The myoscience ioveraº system is used to destroy tissue during surgical procedures by applying freezing cold. It can also be used to produce lesions in peripheral nervous tissue by the application of cold to the blocking of pain. The ioveraº system is not indicated for treatment of central nervous tissue.

Device Description
The iovera° system is a portable cryogenic surgical device used to destroy tissue and/or produce lesions in nervous tissue through application of extreme cold to the selected site. The device is based on introduction of a Smart Tip internally cooled by the cryogenic fluid (nitrous oxide, N₂O) to a selected area. The Smart Tip is cooled by the Joule-Thomson Effect and/or Latent Heat of Vaporization. iovera° may be used in conjunction with a standard off-the-shelf nerve stimulator device in applications where precise nerve location is desired.
Device Design
The device is comprised of four main components:
-
- A reusable Handpiece
-
- A Charging Dock
-
- An assortment of single-patient use Smart Tips
-
- A Cartridge (Nitrous Oxide)
The iovera° Handpiece is battery powered (single cell Lithium lon, 3.7 volts) and provides feedback to the user during device preparation and use. The Handpiece connects to both the Cartridge and to the Smart Tip. The user activates a treatment cycle through a control on the Handpiece, which starts and stops the treatment. The Handpiece also contains LEDs for providing feedback to the user when the device is ready to use. The Charging Dock stores the Handpiece between uses and provides power for charging the battery.
An assortment of Smart Tips is available for the iovera° system. All Smart Tip needles are made of stainless steel and have a closed-end that fully contains the cryogen so that it does not enter the target tissue. The Smart Tip is the only patient contacting component of the iovera° system. The user removes the Smart Tip from the sterile packaging and attaches it to the Handpiece.
The iovera system uses a commercially available nitrous oxide cylinder. The Cartridge is filled with pure N-O.
Device Functionality/Scientific Concepts
The device functionality is based on the user introducing the Smart Tip to the selected treatment area: unwanted tissue or the target nervous tissue. The user then initiates the flow of cryogen by pressing the on/off button. Liquid cryogen flows from the Handpiece into the closed-end Smart Tip. The Smart Tip is cooled by the Joule-Thomson Effect and/or Latent Heat of Vaporization; as the liquid cryogen expands into a gas, the temperature drops around the external surface of the Smart Tip causing the surrounding tissue to freeze. The treatment is completed after a pre-programmed amount of time the user can safely remove the Smart Tip.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
Biocompatibility testing:
The biocompatibility evaluation for the Smart Tip needle was conducted in accordance with the FDA Blue Book Memorandum #G95-1 "Use of International Standard ISO-10993, 'Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing'"and International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process," as recognized by FDA. The battery of testing included the following tests:
- . Cytotoxicity
- Sensitization (supplier testing)
- . Intracutaneous reactivity (supplier testing)
The stainless steel Smart Tip needle is considered tissue contacting for a duration of less than 24 hours.
Software testing:
Software verification testing was conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance document, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device was considered as a "moderate" level of concern, since a failure or latent design flaw in the software could directly result in minor injury to the patient or operator.
Specifically, the following test was performed:
| Test Performed | Result |
|---|---|
| Tip Descriptor verification to confirm treatment parameters | PASS |
Bench testing:
Bench testing was performed on the new Smart Tip to demonstrate that the product met the design requirements. A risk analysis was used to assess the impact of the modification, as well, and design verification testing was performed as a result of this risk analysis assessment. In all cases, the risk was mitigated to acceptable levels and the performance testing demonstrated that the device is in compliance with pertinent standards (i.e., ISO 11135-1). Needle integrity validation test was modified from the predicate to demonstrate safety and effectiveness due to the changes in needle design and longer length.
Specifically, the following tests were performed:
| Test Performed | Result |
|---|---|
| Visual and dimensional inspection of Smart Tip needle | PASS |
| Verification of temperature reproducibility | PASS |
| Validation of cryozone size | PASS |
| Validation of needle integrity in simulated use conditions | PASS |
| After flexing, needle shall return to straight condition Needle shall not leak after kink failure | PASS |
| Sterility Testing | PASS |
| Transit/Shelf Life Testing | PASS |
Preclinical Testing Submitted: No preclinical testing was deemed necessary for this modification.
Clinical Testing Submitted: No clinical testing was deemed necessary for this modification.
Conclusion:
The performance data demonstrate that the iovera° system is as safe, as effective, and performs comparably to the predicate device that is currently marketed for the same intended use.
