No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties of CO2 gas and basic software control for temperature and timing, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for analysis, prediction, or decision-making.
Yes
The device is indicated for use when cold therapy is needed for the temporary reduction of pain, swelling, inflammation, and hematoma from minor surgical procedures, minor sports injuries, and as an adjunct to rehabilitative treatment. These uses align with the definition of a therapeutic device.
No
Explanation: The device description states that the CRYOFOS and Accessories is a "topical refrigerant that acts as a vapocoolant" and is indicated for "temporary reduction of pain, swelling, inflammation, and hematoma." This indicates a therapeutic, not diagnostic, function. There is no mention of the device being used to identify or analyze disease or conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a handpiece, console, battery, and a cylinder for compressed gas. While software is mentioned for control and user interface, it is integral to the operation of the hardware and not a standalone software device.
Based on the provided information, the CRYOFOS and Accessories device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used for topical cold therapy to reduce pain, swelling, inflammation, and hematoma. This is a physical treatment applied to the body, not a test performed on biological samples outside the body.
- Device Description: The description details a system that delivers a cold spray of CO2 to the skin. This is a physical mechanism of action, not a method for analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or processes typically associated with IVDs, such as:
- Reagents
- Assays
- Measurement of biological markers
- Analysis of blood, urine, tissue, or other biological samples
The device is a therapeutic device that applies a physical treatment (cold) to the body.

Device Description
The CRYOFOS and Accessories is a topical refrigerant that acts as a vapocoolant. The CRYOFOS system consists of a pistol grip handpiece, console for controlling operations, a rechargeable battery (Panasonic R127R2PG), and a cvlinder of compressed medical grade Carbon Dioxide (CO2) gas (sold separately). The CRYOFOS has a user interface that displays treatment activation. The CRYOFOS system delivers a topical spray of compressed medical grade (CO2) that is pure, dry bacteriostatic and non-explosive via the pistol grip handpiece. The device uses the natural expansion of liquid CO2 in the atmosphere to create a cold spray of microcrystals delivered under pressure. The expansion cooling of the treatment gas forms a micro-crystalline dry-ice mist with which the cooling effect required for treatment is achieved. The end-user uses a gradual circular or panning motion with the handpiece to apply the CO2 to the treatment site for 30-60 seconds at a distance of approximately 7cm. Rapid cooling (thermal shock) of the skin occurs at temperatures of 2-4°C in 30 sec when the spray sublimates (pass directly from solid / ice phase to gas phase) as it contacts the skin.

Summary of Performance Studies
Verification and validation testing was completed to confirm that the CRYOFOS and Accessories provides equivalent results in comparison to the predicate device, CRYOTRON 2 Cryotherapy Device (K030281). Verification and validation testing included IEC 60601-1 electrical safety testing and IEC 60601-1-2 EMC testing to confirm device safety, software verification and validations to confirm software interaction and performance, as well as performance / benchmark testing using the CRYOFOS and Accessories as compared with the CRYOTRON 2 Cryotherapy device. The performance / benchmark testing confirmed the temperature of 2-4℃ in 30 sec is reached by both devices, the treatment time to reach thermal shock is 30 sec to 1 minute in both devices, the lowest temperature is -78.5℃ in both devices (due to physical law of CO2 gas), the pistol grip design is more stable with the subject device, and temperature detection is improved with the subject device such that the CO2 beam shuts down if the temperature of the skin is less than -1℃ for 1 second.
Clinical efficacy was determined through an extensive literature review of studies. The publications were presented here to show that it is possible to demonstrate very good to good results with cryotherapy using hyperbaric CO2 gas. The individual and partly randomized studies prove that the patient, which is always in the foreground, can benefit enormously from the treatment. The examinations refer to different ailment and treatment areas and it is therefore possible to give a comprehensive statement that the therapy is proven to be effective. Studies were carried out on tendinopathies, shoulder and elbow ailments, facial injuries, hemorrhage in hemophilia, Sudeck's atrophy, hand surgery, foot surgery, lumbago, rheumatic myopathies and much more. This covers the entire range of therapies required. Overall results for this form of therapy were excellent, confirmed by rapid healing of edemas, hematomas, and inflammation and therefore also pain. In this way, it was possible to reduce or even completely avoid the administration of accompanying medications against pain and antibiotic therapies. This ultimately also leads to the goal, i.e. of achieving faster post-operative mobility of individual joints and much earlier overall mobility of the patient. Hospital stays can thus be shortened and the patients can be discharged earlier in order to carry out follow-up rehabilitation. The CRYOFOS met all manufacturing and software specifications. No additional performance or clinical testing was conducted.

F. Device Description
The CRYOFOS and Accessories is a topical refrigerant that acts as a vapocoolant. The CRYOFOS system consists of a pistol grip handpiece, console for controlling operations, a rechargeable battery (Panasonic R127R2PG), and a cvlinder of compressed medical grade Carbon Dioxide (CO2) gas (sold separately). The CRYOFOS has a user interface that displays treatment activation. The CRYOFOS system delivers a topical spray of compressed medical grade (CO2) that is pure, dry bacteriostatic and non-explosive via the pistol grip handpiece. The device uses the natural expansion of liquid CO2 in the atmosphere to create a cold spray of microcrystals delivered under pressure.

accompanying medications against pain and antibiotic therapies. This ultimately also leads to the goal, i.e. of achieving faster post-operative mobility of individual joints and much earlier overall mobility of the patient. Hospital stays can thus be shortened and the patients can be discharged earlier in order to carry out follow-up rehabilitation. The CRYOFOS met all manufacturing and software specifications. No additional performance or clinical testing was conducted.
H. Substantial Equivalence
The CRYOFOS and Accessories are substantially equivalent in design, manufacturing materials, intended use, principles of operation, and technical characteristics to the CRYOTRON 2 Cryotherapy Device (K030281) and raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness. The key differences are the CRYOFOS and Accessories include visible warnings as safety features, a more robust pistol handerip design with press kev, focused infrared measurement of skin temperature during treatment, and improved necrosis protection where that the CO2 beam shuts down if the temperature of the skin is detected to be less than -1°C for 1 second to limit burning of the skin. Treatment can be resumed again after a break of 2 seconds.
I. Conclusion
The CRYOFOS System uses the same identical Indications for Use as the predicate (K030281) device. The CRYOFOS System is very similar to the predicate device in terms of technological characteristics, mode of operation and design features. Based on the verification and validating testing regarding bench performance and the clinical literature provided in the submission: it has been determined that the CRYOFOS System performed as well as the predicate (K030281) device in terms of safety, effectiveness and performance. The bench performance testing also demonstrated that the technological differences between the CRYOFOS System and the predicate device raise no new concerns of safety or effectiveness and is substantially equivalent to predicate (K030281).
