The summary describes a cryosurgical system that uses nitrous oxide to ablate tissue. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.
Yes
The device is described as a "cryosurgical tool" intended for "ablation of Barrett's Esophagus with dysplasia," which directly treats a medical condition.
No
The device is a therapeutic device intended for tissue ablation using extreme cold, not for diagnosing conditions. Its primary function is to destroy unwanted tissue.
No
The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components: a Catheter, Controller, Foot Pedal, and Cartridge, which are integral to the device's function.
Based on the provided information, the C2 CryoBalloon™ Ablation System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is described as a "cryosurgical tool in the field of general surgery, specifically for endoscopic applications, 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 device 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: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in samples
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening
In summary, the C2 CryoBalloon™ Ablation System is a surgical device used for tissue ablation, which falls under the category of therapeutic devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Device Description
The subject 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 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 Controller. The nitrous oxide spray cools the balloon to ablate the unwanted tissue, and the nitrous oxide exhausts through the Controller.

Dear Gurvinder Nanda:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products.

IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The subject 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).

Image /page/4/Picture/2 description: The image contains the logo for Pentax Medical. The word "PENTAX" is written in large, red, bold letters on the top line. Below a thin gray line, the word "MEDICAL" is written in gray, bold letters.
The subject 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 Controller. The nitrous oxide spray cools the balloon to ablate the unwanted tissue, and the nitrous oxide exhausts through the Controller. A detailed comparison of the subject devices to the predicate devices is presented in detail in Section 11 and Section 12.
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 devices are of the same exact design. There are no changes being made to the design or materials. Both the subject device and predicate device are based on the same endoscopic instrumentation 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 subject C2 CryoBalloon™ Ablation System has the same technological characteristics to the legally marketed predicate device (K190194). The subject devices and predicate/reference devices are based on the following same technological elements:
- o 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 0
The only modifications that are being made are to the C2 CryoBalloon Controller and Foot Pedal Reprocessing Instructions (LBL-1024) to simplify the reprocessing of the Controller component. There are no changes to the reprocessing (cleaning) of the Foot Pedal component. The subject device and predicate device are both intended to be cleaned and disinfected by the user between patient use.

PERFORMANCE DATA VII.
Performance data are provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination. Testing was performed on the subject C2 CryoBalloon Ablation System to evaluate cleaning validation, disinfection validation, and usability. All testing results met the acceptance criteria identified in the study protocol.
VII. CONCLUSION
The subject C2 CryoBalloon Ablation System has the same clinical attributes, technological characteristics, intended use, and expected performance as the legally marketed predicate device, C2 CryoBalloon Ablation System (K190194). The performance testing results demonstrate that the subject C2 CryoBalloon Ablation System with modified Controller reprocessing instructions should perform as intended in the specified use conditions and should perform comparably to the legally marketed predicate device that is currently marketed for the same intended use.
