Device Description
Cryosurgery is the use of ultra-low temperatures for selectively freezing and destroying diseased tissues in situ. The CryoThin™ Surgical System is designed to ablate benign and malignant tissues using cryosurgery. The system utilizes the Joule-Thomson effect for freezing. It uses high-pressure argon gas that undergoes throttling expansion to induce freezing inside the closed tip of the Cryo probe to freeze the target tissue around the probe tip. Low-pressure argon is electrically heated and blown into the probe tip to thaw the tissue around it. The CryoThin Surgical System consists of a console, a cart, and accessories. The system must be used in conjunction with the Cryo probes for freeze and thaw functions, and the Temp probes for monitoring the temperature in target or adjacent tissues.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a cryosurgery system based on the Joule-Thomson effect and does not mention any AI or ML components in its description, intended use, or performance testing.

Yes

The CryoThin Surgical System is intended for cryosurgery to freeze/ablate tissue for therapeutic purposes, such as the destruction of warts or lesions, ablation of tumors, and treatment of various medical conditions including cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

No.

The CryoThin™ Surgical System is intended for cryosurgery to ablate or freeze diseased tissues in situ, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. While it monitors temperature, this monitoring is part of its therapeutic function to ensure proper tissue ablation, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of a console, a cart, and accessories, and must be used with Cryo probes and Temp probes. This indicates the presence of significant hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, the CryoThin™ Surgical System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is for "cryosurgery" and is designed to "freeze/ablate tissue" in various surgical fields. This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description explains how the system works by applying extreme cold temperatures to destroy diseased tissues in situ (in place within the body).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The CryoThin™ system does not perform any such analysis of specimens.

The CryoThin™ Surgical System is a surgical device used for therapeutic intervention, not for diagnostic testing of samples.

Dear Ms. Zhang:

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 (the 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. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898.

Cryosurgery is the use of ultra-low temperatures for selectively freezing and destroying diseased tissues in situ. The CryoThin™ Surgical System is designed to ablate benign and malignant tissues using cryosurgery.

The system utilizes the Joule-Thomson effect for freezing. It uses high-pressure argon gas that undergoes throttling expansion to induce freezing inside the closed tip of the Cryo probe to freeze the target tissue around the probe tip. Low-pressure argon is electrically heated and blown into the probe tip to thaw the tissue around it.
