The document describes a cryosurgical system that uses a balloon cooled by nitrous oxide to ablate tissue. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".
Yes
The device is intended for the ablation (destruction) of Barrett's Esophagus with dysplasia, which is a medical treatment.
No
The device is described as a cryosurgical tool used for ablation of tissue, specifically Barrett's Esophagus with dysplasia, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components: Catheter, Controller, Foot Pedal, and Cartridge. It is a cryosurgical unit, not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "as a cryosurgical tool... to include ablation of Barrett's Esophagus with dysplasia." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's tissue, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient.
- Device Description: The description details a system for applying extreme cold to tissue for ablation. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.) or providing information about a patient's health status based on such analysis.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device performs a therapeutic action (ablation) directly on the patient's tissue.

Device Description
The subject and marketed predicate device is a cryosurgical unit with a nitrous oxide cooled balloon that is compatible with commercially available endoscopes with a minimum working channel inner diameter of 3.7 mm and maximum length of 105 cm. The subject device is a cryosurgical system comprised of four components including a Catheter (sterile, single use), Controller (non-sterile, reusable), Foot Pedal (non-sterile, reusable), and Cartridge (non-sterile, single use).
The subject and marketed predicate device is used to ablate unwanted tissue by application of extreme cold. The balloon at the distal end of the Catheter comes in contact with tissue and is inflated with nitrous oxide. Tissue is visualized through the pre-inflated balloon, and the treatment site is selected is by adjusting the endoscope and Catheter The nitrous oxide spray cools the balloon to ablate the unwanted tissue, and the nitrous oxide exhausts through the Controller.

The subject and marketed predicate device is used to ablate unwanted tissue by application of extreme cold. The balloon at the distal end of the Catheter comes in contact with tissue and is inflated with nitrous oxide. Tissue is visualized through the pre-inflated balloon, and the treatment site is selected is by adjusting the endoscope and Catheter The nitrous oxide spray cools the balloon to ablate the unwanted tissue, and the nitrous oxide exhausts through the Controller.
V. INDICATIONS FOR USE
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.
VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
Cryoablation is the fundamental technological principle for both the subject C2 CryoBalloon™ Ablation System and the predicate C2 CryoBalloon™ Ablation System. Both the subject device and predicate device are based on the same endoscopic instrumentation for removing unwanted tissue using extreme cold.
The subject C2 CryoBalloon™ Ablation System has similar technological characteristics to the legally marketed predicate K163684. The subject devices and predicate are based on the following same technological elements:
- Inserted through an endoscope to access the treatment site
- Application of cryogen to ablate (freeze) the unwanted tissue ●
- Use of a compliant balloon to position the treatment diffuser and to contain and exhaust the cryogen
- User-controlled (trigger/foot pedal) to release cryogen ●
- Software activated Controller ●
The software changes that are being implemented in the subject device include:
Over-pressure monitoring post test puff, Balloon pressure transducer check during system start up, and Detection of a severely kinked Catheter.
The subject C2 CrvoBalloon™ Ablation System has the same reuse characteristics as the legally marketed reference predicate K163684. The subject device and reference predicate are based on the same reuse elements of using a disinfectant wipe-down to clean and disinfect between uses.
