No
The document describes a cryoablation needle, a physical device used for tissue destruction through freezing. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The changes from the predicate device are purely physical (longer needle shaft).
Yes
The device is used for the destruction of tissue to treat various medical conditions, including cancerous or malignant tissue, benign tumors, and other disorders. This aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device designed to treat or alleviate a disease or condition.
No
The device is a cryoablation needle used for the destruction of tissue during surgical procedures, not for diagnosis. Its purpose is therapeutic, applying extreme cold to destroy tissue rather than gather information for diagnosis.
No
The device is described as sterile, single-use, disposable needles that convert high-pressure gas to cold or warm applications. This clearly indicates a physical hardware component, not a software-only device.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "cryoablative destruction of tissue during surgical procedures" and is used as a "cryosurgical tool." This involves direct intervention on the patient's body to destroy tissue.
- Device Description: The device is described as a "Cryoablation Needle" that converts gas to cold or warm temperatures for tissue destruction. This is a therapeutic device used in surgical procedures.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided text does not mention any testing of samples or diagnostic purposes.
The device is a surgical tool used for therapeutic purposes (tissue destruction), not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Galil Medical's IcePearl 2.1 CX L and IceFORCE 2.1 CX L Cryoablation Needles are intended for cryoablative destruction of tissue during surgical procedures. The IcePearl 2.1 CX L and IceFORCE 2.1 CX L Cryoablation Needles are indicated for use as a cryosurgical tool in the fields of general surgery, dermatology (including cryoanalgesia), thoracic surgery (with the exception of cardiac tissue), ENT, gynecology, oncology, and urology. The systems are designed to destroy tissue by the application of extreme cold temperatures including prostate and kidney tissue, liver metastases, tumors, skin lesions, and warts.
The Galil Medical IcePearl 2.1 CX L and IceFORCE 2.1 CX L Cryoablation Needles have 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)
- · Dermatology (ablation or freezing of skin cancers and other cutaneous disorders. Destruction of warts or lesions,
angiomas, sebaceous hyperplasia, basal cell tumors of the eyelid or canthus area, ulcerated basal cell tumors,
dermatofibromas small hemanglomas, mucocele cysts, multiple warts, actinic and seborrheic keratoses, cavernous hemanglomas, perianal condylomata, and palliation of tumors of the skin.)
- · Gynecology (ablation of malignant neoplasia or benign dysplasia of the female genitalia)
- · General surgery (palliation of tumors of the rectum, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, pilonidal cysts, and recurrent cancerous lesions, ablation of breast fibroadenoma)
- · ENT (Palliation of tumors of the oral cavity and ablation of leukoplakia of the mouth)
- · Thoracic surgery (with the exception of cardiac tissue)
- · Proctology (ablation of benign or malignant growths of the anus or rectum, and hemorrhoids)

Device Description
Galil Medical's IcePearl 2.1 CX L and IceFORCE 2.1 CX L Cryoablation Needles are sterile, single use, disposable components, when used in conjunction with Galil Medical's Visual-ICE Cryoablation System to perform cryoablative destruction of tissue. The needles are intended to convert high-pressure gas to either a very cold freezing application or to a warm thawing application. The IcePearl 2.1 CX L and IceFORCE 2.1 CX L Cryoablation Needles are disposable 2.1 mm needles that have a sharp cutting tip, a color-coded handle, a gas tube, and a connector. The IcePearl 2.1 CX L and IceFORCE 2.1 CX L Cryoablation Needles offer handles configured in a 90° angled configuration.
The IcePearl 2.1 CX L and IceFORCE 2.1 CX L Cryoablation Needles were designed to provide the same cryoablation functionality with the same iceball shapes as compared to Galil Medical's predicate needles, IcePearl 2.1 CX and IceFORCE 2.1 CX (K152133).
The new devices differ from the predicate devices in that the needle shaft is 55 mm longer than the needle shaft of the predicate devices. The longer shaft length was incorporated into the needles to treat deep-seated tumors in patients with a larger body habitus, while still allowing for CT gantry clearance using a 2.1 CX type needle. Galil Medical is using the alpha letter "L" identifier as part of the needle name as well as a different needle part numbers to assist users in distinguishing the different shaft length from the predicate devices.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Performance testing was conducted on the IcePearl 2.1 CX L and IceFORCE 2.1 CX L Cryoablation Needles with the previously cleared Visual-ICE System Software to verify safety and performance characteristics and to establish substantial equivalence. Testing was conducted according to protocols based on international standards and in-house requirements and included freezing and in vivo performance. Test results demonstrated that the IcePearl 2.1 CX L and IceFORCE 2.1 CX L Cryoablation Needles meet defined specifications and do not raise any new safety or effectiveness issues.
