The document describes a cryoablation needle and system that uses cold temperatures to destroy tissue. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The testing focuses on functional and compatibility aspects of the hardware.
Yes
The device is described as "Cryoablation Needles" and its intended use is for "cryoablative destruction of tissue during surgical procedures" for various medical conditions, including cancer and benign tumors. This aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device which is used to treat or alleviate a medical condition.
No
Explanation: The device is intended for the cryoablative destruction of tissue (treatment), not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a sterile, single-use, disposable component (a needle) used in conjunction with a cryoablation system, indicating it is a physical hardware device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used outside of the body (in vitro) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The Galil Medical 1.5 CX Cryoablation Needles are used during surgical procedures to destroy tissue within the body by applying extremely cold temperatures. This is a therapeutic intervention performed in vivo (within the living body).
- Intended Use: The stated intended use is for "cryoablative destruction of tissue during surgical procedures." This clearly describes a treatment method, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
The device is a surgical tool used for therapeutic purposes, not for analyzing biological samples to provide diagnostic information.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Verification testing was conducted on the IceSphere 1.5 CX Cryoablation Needle to ensure that the design, functionality, and performance met all the specified requirements and that the features of the needle satisfy its intended use. Testing was conducted according to protocols based on international standards and in-house requirements. Verification testing included functional testing, system compatibility testing, and labeling review. Functional testing assessed whether the electrical heater requirements and functional requirements were met. System compatibility testing ensured the needle would operate with a Galil Medical Cryoablation System. Labeling verification evaluated instructions for use and labeling accuracy with respect to design requirements and risk mitigations. Test results demonstrated that the IceSphere 1.5 CX Cryoablation Needle meets defined specifications, is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, and does not raise any new issues of safety and effectiveness for its intended use.
