Device Description

The CryoVIVE is a handheld device that delivers rapid, precise and controlled cooling temperature to the skin tissue with the use of CO2 gas cartridge. The CryoVIVE consists of main system, nozzles(Cooling nozzle and Freezing nozzle), Guide tip, filter, and CO2 cartridge. The CryoVIVE offers two treatment modes, which can be changed by using different nozzles. In cooling mode, the main device produces controlled cooling based on thermoelectric cooling, which control the temperature (2-4°C) of targeted area. In freezing mode, the main device delivers the CO2 gas of extreme cold temperature (-79°C) , which causes the surgical destruction of target tissue. The CryoVIVE displays the skin temperature measured in real time, the set cooling temperature and time, and the device status through the LCD screen. Also, if the temperature below -1°C lasts for more than 1 second, the front LED blinks in blue with a beep sound.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the CryoVIVE device, a cryosurgical unit with both freezing and cooling modes. The 510(k) summary (K203481) indicates that the device is substantially equivalent to previously cleared predicate devices.

Here's an analysis of the provided information regarding acceptance criteria and supporting studies:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly present a table of acceptance criteria with corresponding performance metrics in a clear, quantitative format for all aspects. However, it does mention specific temperature ranges and safety features as part of its performance data and comparison to predicate devices.

Risk ManagementHazard analysis completed, risk control implemented.Hazard analysis completed and risk control implemented.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

No specific sample size for a test set is mentioned for clinical testing because no clinical performance data has been provided. The device's equivalency is based on bench testing and comparison to predicate devices, not on a new clinical study. Therefore, there is no information on data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective).

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications

Not applicable. As no clinical testing or reader study was performed for this device, no experts were used to establish ground truth for a test set.

4. Adjudication Method

Not applicable. No clinical testing or reader study was performed.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

No. A MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The submission relies on substantial equivalence to predicate devices, not on a study evaluating human reader performance with or without AI assistance.

6. Standalone Performance Study

No. A standalone (algorithm-only) study was not done in the context of an AI device. The CryoVIVE is a physical medical device, and its performance was evaluated through bench testing against established standards and comparison to predicate devices, not through an AI algorithm’s standalone performance.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for the CryoVIVE's performance assessment appears to be:

  • Engineering specifications and standards: For electrical safety (IEC 60601-1), electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 60601-1-2), and biocompatibility (ISO 10993).
  • Predicate device characteristics: The performance (e.g., temperature ranges, safety features, intended use) of the legally marketed predicate devices (CryoLab K190407, CryOmega Flexx K172769, and CRYOFOS K170810) serve as the benchmark for establishing substantial equivalence.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device; therefore, there is no "training set."

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not applicable. There is no training set.

7. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The CryoVIVE is a handheld device that delivers rapid, precise and controlled cooling temperature to the skin tissue with the use of CO2 gas cartridge. The CryoVIVE consists of main system, nozzles(Cooling nozzle and Freezing nozzle), Guide tip, filter, and CO2 cartridge. The CryoVIVE offers two treatment modes, which can be changed by using different nozzles. In cooling mode, the main device produces controlled cooling based on thermoelectric cooling, which control the temperature (2-4°C) of targeted area. In freezing mode, the main device delivers the CO2 gas of extreme cold temperature (-79°C) , which causes the surgical destruction of target tissue.

9. SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The comparison chart below provides evidence to facilitate the substantial equivalence determination between the CryoVIVE and the predicate devices (K190407, K172769) as well as the reference device (K170810) with respect to intended use, technological characteristics and principles of operation. The CryoVIVE shares the same indications for use, device operation, technical and functional capabilities, and therefore is substantially equivalent to both devices.

CryoVIVE, the subject device, the predicate and the reference devices are all cryosurgical instruments ; these devices can be used to cool tissue or freeze tissue in dermatologic procedures of the skin. Since the CryoVIVE has two operating modes: Cooling mode and Freezing mode, the predicate device and the reference device were selected and compared for freezing mode and cooling mode, respectively.

Cryoablation is the fundamental technological principle for the freezing mode of the subject device, CryoVIVE, and the predicate devices (Cryolab and CryOmega Flexx). The subject and marketed predicate devices are used to ablate unwanted tissue by application of extreme cold. The technological differences that exist between the subject device and the predicate devices. However, these differences do not significantly affect safety and/or effectiveness.

The Cooling mode of CryoVIVE is substantially equivalent in intended use, principles of operation, and performance temperature to Cryofos (K170810) and raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness. The only difference to the marketed reference is the type of a gas container. The performance benchmark testing confirmed the temperature of 2~4 °C is reached by the subject device while the lowest temperature is -79 °C for the subject device and -78.5 °C for the predicate device. The subject device has a warning alarm when the temperature of the skin is -1 °C or less for 1 second. The principle of pain relief through skin cooling is as follows. As the skin cools by spraying the cryogen onto the skin, the nerve conduction velocity (NCV) of the skin decreases, increasing the Pain threshold (PTH) and pain tolerance (PTO)1. Through this mechanism, pain in the skin is relieved.

The type of a gas container does not affect the pain relief application. It does not raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness. It was proved by the performance test that the temperature range at the target skin area was the same as that of the predicate device and the reference device. Therefore, CryoVIVE, the subject device, is equivalent to the predicate device and the reference device.

8. CONCLUSION

The CryoVIVE and the legally marketed predicated devices have intended use and Indications for Use statement. While the technological characteristics differ between the two systems, the differences are minor. Performance testing data established that the CryoVIVE is safe and effective as the leqally marked predicate devices and that the CryoVIVE does not raise any different questions of safety and effectiveness than the predicate. On this basis and in accordance with 21 CFRS 807.100(b), the CryoVIVE is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and the reference device.
