Regulation Number
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 a console and 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:
There are no proposed changes to the disposable spray kit. The truFreeze disposable spray kit continues to consist of five (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 onboard suction system.
Labeling (Intended Use/Indications for Use and Instructions for Use Document)
The truFreeze System is identical in its Intended Use as the predicate device (K143625 truFreeze system), Both devices describe the ablation of benign and malignant tissue in general terms and the requirement to use either active or passive venting during surgical procedures. Both devices are indicated for use as a cryosurgical tool in the fields of dermatology, gynecology, and general surgery, to ablate benign and malignant lesions. This is the same indication for use as previously cleared for the previous version of the truFreeze System (K143625).

Technical and Operational Characteristics
This 510(k) implements a software modification to incorporate a control that will detect and respond to communication interruptions or failures with the internal cDAQ chassis and associated modules. Detecting and responding to communication interruptions or failures during the RUN cycle prevents the system from delivering an excessive rate of cryogen flow to the target area. Specifically, the two commercially available load packages were updated with additional error detection capabilities to:
-
- Identify cDAQ related hardware and communication errors
-
- Lockout and notify the user from the SW interface if these failures occur
-
- Send a signal to close applicable valves.
Other than this additional software control, the technical and operational characteristics of the truFreeze System are unchanged.
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. Two sets of testing were performed for each of the load packages available to customers. Three consoles were successfully loaded with the respective load packages. The software modification was validated via software regression testing, software integration testing and system functional testing.
CSA Software Load Package Regression Tests:
Regression testing was successfully completed and all tests passed, verifying that the updates did not negatively impact the code. No additional safety or functionality concerns were observed during testing.
CSA Software Load Package Integration Tests:
All integration tests were completed and were considered acceptable. The successful completion of these tests demonstrate the ability of the software to correctly detect (or not) cDAQ related hardware and communication errors and respond accordingly.
truFreeze System Functional Tests
Functional testing was successfully performed and passed confirming that the software updates implemented did not negatively impact system performance and functionality,
After successfully completing the regression testing, and console field verification, the following items have been successfully verified and validated:
- The software functions as intended per software performance specifications
- All input and output software values are as specified .
- The system functions as intended
- The software functions as intended when a cDAQ hardware error is present or not present.

Rationale For Substantial Equivalence
The labeling as well as the technological characteristics of the truFreeze System K150920 and the predicate device (K143625 truFreeze system) were compared. The Intended Use/Indications for Use statement of the two devices had identical general claims and do not raise new questions of safety and performance. The proposed changes to the software enhance the safe use of the device by providing additional controls. This provides a
control that will detect and respond to communication interruptions or failures with the internal cDAQ chassis and associated modules. Verification and validation testing demonstrate that the software modification does not raise new questions of safety and performance.
Conclusion
Based on the comparison of labeling, technology and verification/validation testing comparisons, the truFreeze device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device listed above.
