The description focuses on the mechanical and software control of cryogen delivery and system functions, with no mention of AI or ML for decision-making, image analysis, or predictive capabilities.
Yes
The device is used for the "cryogenic destruction of tissue" and "to ablate benign and malignant lesions", which directly implies a therapeutic function.
No
The device is described as a "cryosurgical tool" intended for "cryogenic destruction of tissue" and "to ablate benign and malignant lesions." This function is therapeutic (ablation), not diagnostic.
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, and disposable spray kits with catheters. While software is mentioned as managing functions, it is part of a larger hardware system.
Based on the provided information, the truFreeze System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the "cryogenic destruction of tissue" and "to ablate benign and malignant lesions." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device description details a system that applies liquid nitrogen to tissue via a catheter. This is a physical intervention on the patient.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The truFreeze System does not perform any such analysis of specimens.
The truFreeze System is clearly described as a cryosurgical tool used for tissue ablation in vivo (within the living body).

Device Description
The truFreeze system is a cryosurgical tool that applies medical-grade liquid nitrogen to the ablation area via a small, low pressure, open tipped catheter. The truFreeze System consists of a console and a disposable spray kit.
Console:
There are no proposed changes to 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 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. There are 2 types of spray kits available. One kit is available for active venting procedures and one is available for passive venting procedures. Both active and passive venting kits include are provided in a carton of five (5) individually packaged sterile, single-use catheters with introducers in individual pouches. Additionally, the active venting kit is provided with includes a carton of five (5) individually packaged sterile, single-use CDTs with associated tubing in individual pouches. Each carton within a spray kit contains the instructions for use.

Device Description
The truFreeze system is a cryosurgical tool that applies medical-grade liquid nitrogen to the ablation area via a small, low pressure, open tipped catheter. The truFreeze System consists of a console and a disposable spray kit.
Console:
There are no proposed changes to 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 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. There are 2 types of spray kits available. One kit is available for active venting procedures and one is available for passive venting procedures. Both active and passive venting kits include are provided in a carton of five (5) individually packaged sterile, single-use catheters with introducers in individual pouches. Additionally, the active venting kit is provided with includes a carton of five (5) individually packaged sterile, single-use CDTs with associated tubing in individual pouches. Each carton within a spray kit contains the instructions for use.
Intended Use: The truFreeze System is intended for cryogenic destruction of tissue using Liquid Nitrogen spray that has a boiling point of -196°C requiring either active or passive venting during surgical procedures.
Indications for Use: The truFreeze System is indicated for use as a cryosurgical tool in the fields of dermatology, gynecology, and general surgery, to ablate benign and malignant lesions.
The truFreeze System adds information to the Intended Use/Indications for Use statement regarding the use of liquid Nitrogen spray. This information is currently located within the predicate device Instructions for Use document and Operator's manual. Other than this modification, the Intended Use/Indications for Use statement is identical in its Intended Use as the predicate device (K152668 truFreeze system). Both

K160273
devices describe the ablation of benign and malignant tissue in general terms and the requirement to use either active or passive venting during surgicalprocedures. 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 (K152668).
Adding the name of the cryogen being delivered:its boiling point temperature: the delivery of the cryogen in the form of a spray; highlights important information currently found within the current Instructions for Use and Operator's Manual documents into a prominent location of the label. The intent of this modification is to enhance safe use of the device by making the information readily available to the user. Therefore, the revised intended use/indications for use statement raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness.
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 is limited to the Indications for Use and adds to it information currently present in truFreeze System labeling, no additional testing was performed.
Rationale For Substantial Equivalence
The Intended Use/Indications for Use statement and technological characteristics of the truFreeze System and the predicate device (K152668) 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. A comparison of the instructions for use document, operator's manual and performance documents demonstrated that both devices use liguid nitrogen spray that has a boiling point property of -196°C. The proposed changes to the Intended Use statement 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 tissue requiring either active or passive venting during surgical procedures.
The addition of this information to the Intended Use/Indications for Use statement enhances the safe use of the device by making information readily available to the user relating to the cryogen being delivered.
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.
