No
The document describes a cryoablation device that uses a physical process (Joule-Thompson effect) to freeze tissue. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.
Yes
The device is intended for the cryosurgical treatment of cardiac arrhythmias and for temporarily blocking pain by ablating peripheral and intercostal nerves, which are therapeutic interventions.
No
This device is designed for cryosurgical treatment, specifically freezing target tissues to ablate electrical conduction pathways or block pain by ablating nerves. This is a therapeutic action, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly details physical components like a handpiece, probes, shaft, handle, thermocouple, and tubes, indicating it is a hardware device.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is a cryosurgical instrument used to freeze target tissues within the body (cardiac tissue, peripheral nerves, intercostal nerves) to create a therapeutic effect (blocking electrical conduction or pain). It is used in vivo, not in vitro.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for surgical treatment and pain management by directly interacting with tissues inside the patient.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical or therapeutic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
Cryo2
The cryosurgical handpiece, or cryo-ablation probe, utilized in the AtriCure Cryosurgical System is a hand held, single use, cryosurgical instrument intended for the cryosurgical treatment of cardiac surgery; it is also intended for use in blocking pain by temporarily ablatinq peripheral nerves. The cryosurgical handpiece uilizes a high-pressure cryogen (nitrous oxide, N20) to freeze target tissues, creating an inflammatory response, and ultimately, cryonerosis. The cryosurgical handpiece provides below -40°C, the temperature at which intracellular ice formation occurs which is considered lethal to cells. When high pressure nitous oxide is supplied to the cryprobe via the AtriCure Cryo Module, rapid cooling is achieved via the Joule-Thompson effect. The end effector, or cryolip, of the probe is malleable to allow access to varying anatomy and anatomical sites.
The cryo-ablation probes are comprised of a cryotip end effector, shaft, handle, thermocouple, inlet tube, and exhaust tube. The cryotip consists of an aluminum boiler and three infices distributed throughout the cryotip internally to provide uniform cooling. The 4-mm diameter, cryotip is malleable throughout its 10-cm length. A supplied forming tool can be cryotip into the desired form. The cryolip is attached to an insulated rigid shaft that allows the surgeon to adjust the exposed cryolip up to 10 cm in therapeutic length. A thermocouple is affixed to the proximal external surface of the temperatures on the console. The handle is attached to the shaft. Inlet and exhaust tubes and thermocouple wire pass through the handle and connect to the AtriCure Cryo Module (ACM).
The cryoICE PROBE is a sterile, single-use cryosurgical instrument.
The form tool facilitates bending of the malleable tip.
This PROBE was designed for treatment of cardieving controlled temperatures down to -50° to -70°C; it can also be used to temporarily block pain by ablating peripheral nerves in adolescent patients of at least 12 years of aqe.
CryoS, CryoS-L
The cryolCE cryoSPHERE cryoablation (CRYOS/CRYOS-L) probe is a single use cryablation of peripheral nerves by allowing a surgeon to insert the probe through an incision to reach the probe tip on the target site, and in conjunction with an AtriCure Cryo Module (ACM), temporarily freeze the tissue in by circulating a cryogenic agent, nitrous oxide, through the device. The CRYOS probe is offered in two probe length configurations: approximately 11" and 18" long. The probe is malleable and is capable of being bent by the end user. At the distal end, the CRYOS device features an 8 mm diameter ball tip shaped probe.
The PROBE is a single-use device offered in two configurations: standard length probe shaft (CRYOS), and extended length probe shaft (CRYOS-L). The probe shaft is malleable and supports forming by the supplied TOOL. The PROBE features a spherical 8mm cryoablation tip.

Clinical Evidence
AtriCure partnered with UCSF Stanford Pediatic Device Consortium (PDC) to evaluate Clinical Evidence in support of the cryolCE cryoablation probes (Cryo2, CryoS and CryoS-L) Indication for Use. The clinical publications demonstrated that use of the cryol CE cryoablation probes (Cryo2, CryoS and CryoS-L) in intercostal nerve ablation for temporarily pain block was as safe and effective when used in patients aged ≥ 12 years as compared to use of the cryolCE cryo2, CryoS and CryoS-L) for equivalent procedures in adults, based on the following endpoints:
- Intraoperative or post-operative complications for patients receiving cryoanalgesia during Nuss procedure .
- . Adverse events observed for patients receiving cryoanalgesia
- Cryoablation associated numbness
- Neuropathic pain
- . Chest wall numbness
- . Post-operative pneumothorax

VII. Performance Data
Clinical Evidence
AtriCure partnered with UCSF Stanford Pediatic Device Consortium (PDC) to evaluate Clinical Evidence in support of the cryolCE cryoablation probes (Cryo2, CryoS and CryoS-L) Indication for Use. The clinical publications demonstrated that use of the cryol CE cryoablation probes (Cryo2, CryoS and CryoS-L) in intercostal nerve ablation for temporarily pain block was as safe and effective when used in patients aged ≥ 12 years as compared to use of the cryolCE cryo2, CryoS and CryoS-L) for equivalent procedures in adults, based on the following endpoints:
- Intraoperative or post-operative complications for patients receiving cryoanalgesia during Nuss procedure .
- . Adverse events observed for patients receiving cryoanalgesia
- Cryoablation associated numbness
- Neuropathic pain
- . Chest wall numbness
- . Post-operative pneumothorax
VIII. Conclusions
The Clinical Evidence reviewed in the 510(k) submission demonstrates that AtriCure's cryolCE cryos, CryoS-L), as labeled per the Indication for Use do not present any new or additional questions of safety and effectiveness.
