Hydrozid Precise™ is a portable aerosol cryosurgery device intended for the treatment of benign and premalignant skin lesions using a cryogen to freeze cells to induce necrosis (cell destruction). The main device component is the aerosol canister containing cryogen spray. The device is provided in a kit containing a canister, application templates and Instructions for Use. The device is used with non-sterile, single-patient application templates which are disposed after use.
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the Hydrozid Precise™ device. The submission aims to establish substantial equivalence to a predicate device, Hydrozid®. The document focuses on demonstrating that the new device is as safe and effective as the predicate, rather than providing detailed acceptance criteria and a study to prove a predetermined performance outcome. The study described is a bench test comparing the thermal profile of the new device to the predicate device.
Here's an analysis of the available information:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not explicitly state acceptance criteria in terms of numerical thresholds for a specific clinical performance metric (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) for Hydrozid Precise™. Instead, the "acceptance criterion" in this context is demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate device Hydrozid® in terms of its thermal profile (surface temperature, duration of surface temperature, and ice-ball formation).
| Acceptance Criteria (Implied for Substantial Equivalence) | Reported Device Performance (Hydrozid Precise™) |
|---|---|
| Capable of reaching the minimum desired temperature for cell destruction and vascular stasis in both minimum and maximum treatment time, equivalent to the predicate device. | Confirmed that the cryogen R134a was capable of reaching the minimum desired temperature for cell destruction and vascular stasis in both the minimum and maximum treatment time. Performed equivalently to the predicate device Hydrozid®. |
| Thermal profile (surface temperature, duration of surface temperature, and ice-ball) is equivalent to the predicate device. | The bench test determined that Hydrozid Precise™ performed equivalently to the predicate device Hydrozid® in terms of its thermal profile. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
The document mentions a "bench test" to analyze the thermal profile. For this type of test, "sample size" typically refers to the number of devices or test conditions evaluated. However, the specific sample size used for the bench test is not provided. The data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) is also not specified, though it is likely a prospective bench study conducted by the manufacturer, BIBAWO Medical A/S, based in Denmark.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
This information is not applicable as the described study is a non-clinical bench test analyzing the thermal profile of the device, not a study involving human subjects or expert assessment of clinical outcomes. Therefore, no experts were used to establish ground truth in this context.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This information is not applicable as the described study is a non-clinical bench test. Adjudication methods are relevant for studies involving human interpretation or clinical outcomes where discrepancies need to be resolved.
5. If a multi-reader, multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
A multi-reader, multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is typically conducted for diagnostic or AI-powered devices involving human interpretation, which is not the case for this cryosurgical unit.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This refers to the performance of an algorithm without human intervention. The Hydrozid Precise™ is a medical device (cryosurgical unit), not an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm. Therefore, a standalone algorithm performance study was not done. The "standalone" performance here would refer to the device's physical function in the bench test.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
For the non-clinical bench test, the "ground truth" would be the measured physical properties (surface temperature, duration of surface temperature, and ice-ball characteristics) of the cryogen (R134a) under controlled experimental conditions, often established using calibrated measurement equipment. These measurements are then compared to the established performance of the predicate device.
8. The sample size for the training set
This information is not applicable. Cryosurgical devices are not typically "trained" in the way AI algorithms are. No training set was used.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This information is not applicable as there was no training set.

Proprietary Name: Hydrozid Precise™ Common Name: Portable aerosol cryosurgery device Classification Name: Unit, Cryosurgical, Accessories Classification Requlation: 21 CFR 878.4350 Device: Class II Device Product Code: GEH Device Panel: General & Plastic Surgery Predicate Device: Hydrozid® (K201740) manufactured by BIBAWO Medical A/S is the predicate device.
5.1. Description of the Device
Hydrozid Precise™ is a portable aerosol cryosurgery device intended for the treatment of benign and premalignant skin lesions using a cryogen to freeze cells to induce necrosis (cell destruction). The main device component is the aerosol canister containing cryogen spray. The device is provided in a kit containing a canister, application templates and Instructions for Use. The device is used with
{4}------------------------------------------------
non-sterile, single-patient application templates which are disposed after use.
The mechanism of action for both Hydrozid Precise™ and the predicate device, Hydrozid®, is based on the principles of cryosurgery (also referred as cryotherapy). Cryosurgery was first described in the 1800s and has since evolved into a wellestablished therapy within dermatology and other healthcare fields. Cryosurgery is performed using a cryogen to freeze the target tissue temperature to below the level that correlates with cell destruction also known as necrosis.
The mechanism of action in cryosurgery are divided into 3 phases: (1) heat transfer, (2) cell death, and (3) inflammation. When the cryogen evaporates, it absorbs heat from its surroundings (heat transfer phase) causing cell destruction (cell death phase) due to:
- Direct effects of freezing on the cells
- Vascular stasis which develops after thawing.
During cryosurgery, both extracellular and intracellular ice formation occur, with fast freezing in the center of the lesion, and slow freezing on the outside border. The loss of blood supply to the treated area eradicates the likelihood of survival of the cells in the frozen tissue (inflammation phase).
Indications for Use Statement 5.2.
Hydrozid Precise™ contains 1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (also known as R134a, HFC-134a, HFA-134a or fluorocarbon 134a) and is to be used for the treatment of verruca (warts), including plantar warts, seborrheic keratosis, actinic keratosis, acrochordon (skin tags), molluscum contagiosum, age spots (lentigo), dermatofibroma, small keloids, granuloma annulare, porokeratosis plantaris, angiomas, keratoacanthoma, chondrodermatitis, epithelial nevus, leukoplakia, granuloma pyogenicum, and pyogenic granuloma.
