The C2 CryoBalloon™ Ablation System is intended for use as a cryosurgical tool in the field of general surgery, specifically for endoscopic applications, to include ablation of Barrett's Esophagus with dysplasia.
The C2 CryoBalloon Ablation System is a cryosurgical device, which consists of four (4) components: (i) a single-use, sterile balloon Catheter that is inserted through the working channel of an endoscope with a minimum inner diameter (ID) of 3.7 mm and a maximum working length of 100 cm; (ii) a hand-held reusable Controller with a liquid crystal display (LCD) touch screen interface; (iii) a reusable Foot Pedal that is plugged into mains, provides power for the Controller, and allows the user to operate system functions such as ablation targeting, nitrous oxide flow control, and balloon deflation; and (iv) single-use Nitrous Oxide Cartridge that provides users with cryogen for each treatment.
The C2 CryoBalloon Ablation System uses nitrous oxide as a cryogen to cause necrosis of targeted tissue in a controlled manner. The low operating pressure inflates the compliant balloon against the lumen ID. Nitrous oxide is directed at the targeted tissue and it evaporates on the inner surface of the balloon and freezes the tissue. The nitrous oxide is fully contained within the balloon and the resultant gas exhausts through the Catheter shaft and vents through the Controller.
There are four (4) Catheter configurations that distribute nitrous oxide focally (focal diffuser), over a quarter of the lumen circumference (90° diffuser), over half of the lumen circumference (180° diffuser), or over the full circumference of the lumen (360° diffuser). The user selects the Catheter with the desired diffuser type, removes it from the sterile packaging and inserts it through the working channel of an endoscope until the balloon portion exits the distal end of the endoscope.
The connector portion of the Catheter is inserted into the Controller and the radiofrequency identification (RFID) communication system in the Catheter connector and the Controller allows the Controller to perform functions specific to the Catheter. The LCD touch screen allows the user to set desired dosimetry, and communicates system status to the user.
The user tightens the Controller Cap against the Controller, which pierces the nitrous oxide Cartridge. Nitrous oxide is contained in the Controller until the user steps on the Foot Pedal to allow the Controller to release it into the Catheter. The user visualizes the targeting and ablation via the inflated balloon and the images provided by the endoscope. The balloon is held in contact with the treatment area during the ablation. Upon conclusion of the procedure the balloon is deflated and withdrawn into the endoscope.
The provided text describes the C2 CryoBalloon Ablation System and its performance data submitted to the FDA for 510(k) clearance. However, the document does not contain information about an AI-powered device or a study involving human readers with and without AI assistance. It focuses on the physical, electrical, software, and biological safety and efficacy of the cryoablation system itself.
Therefore, I cannot extract the information required to answer your prompt, as it is predicated on the device being an AI-powered system and the study being an MRMC comparative effectiveness study with human readers.
The document describes the device, its intended use, comparison to predicate devices, and the results of various non-clinical (bench) tests to demonstrate safety and effectiveness.
Here's what can be inferred from the provided text regarding device acceptance criteria and performance, as it relates to the physical cryoablation system, not an AI:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
The document doesn't provide a specific table of quantitative acceptance criteria with corresponding performance metrics in a pass/fail format within the "Performance Data" section. Instead, for each "Testing Type," it lists "Objectives" which can be interpreted as the acceptance criteria, and then "Results," which state whether the objectives were met.
For example, for "Bench Testing":
| Testing Type | Objectives (Acceptance Criteria - Implicit) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Bench Testing | - Verify temperature uniformity and depth of penetration during cryogen application. - Verify system hold pressure is maintained with no leakage. - Verify controller reliability after 1-year of reuse. - Verify balloon and Catheter dimensions. - Verify Catheter able to pass through 3.7mm or larger accessory channel. - Verify rated burst pressure of balloon is sufficiently greater than nominal operating pressure. - Tensile test all of the Catheter bonds. - Verify balloon reliability after repeated inflations. | The subject C2 CryoBalloon Ablation System passed all functional testing and met all product specification requirements.
