Intended Use
The Celsio Flexible Cryocatheter System is intended for cryoadhesion applications during interventional procedures such as the removal of tissue, foreign bodies, mucous plugs, blood clots, necrotic tissue, tumors and tissue biopsies, and for palliative devitalization (destruction) of tissue by the application of extreme cold.
Device Description
The Celsio Flexible Cryocatheter System is a cryosurgical device with a disposable carbon dioxide (CO2) cartridge that is used with commercially available endoscopes with a minimum working channel diameter of 2mm and maximum working length of 1052 mm, in interventional endoscopic procedures. The Celsio Flexible Cryocatheter System is comprised of a Flexible Cryocatheter (sterile, single use), a CO2 Refrigerant Cartridge (non-sterile, single use) and a Refrigerant Dispenser (nonsterile, single use). The flexible cryocatheter is typically delivered using a compatible endoscope to the target location. Once the refrigerant dispenser is activated, pressurized refrigerant fluid is delivered to the catheter tip where it undergoes expansion to its lower temperature (the Joule-Thomson effect), causing surrounding tissue in contact with the catheter tip to freeze and adhere.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and thermal aspects of cryosurgery, with no mention of AI or ML technologies. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Description of the training set..." sections are explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is described as a "cryosurgical device" intended for "cryoadhesion applications" and "palliative devitalization (destruction) of tissue by the application of extreme cold," which directly indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is described as a cryosurgical device used for therapeutic applications such as tissue removal and devitalization by applying extreme cold, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components including a flexible cryocatheter, a CO2 refrigerant cartridge, and a refrigerant dispenser. It also describes a physical mechanism of action (Joule-Thomson effect) involving these hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the Celsio Flexible Cryocatheter System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used during interventional procedures to physically interact with and manipulate tissue (removal, destruction, biopsy). This is an in vivo application, meaning it's used within a living organism.
  • Device Description: The description details a cryosurgical device that applies extreme cold to tissue in contact with the catheter tip. This is a direct physical interaction with tissue within the body.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical sites listed are within the body (respiratory tree, GI tract, urethral tract).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens outside of the body (in vitro), such as blood, urine, or tissue samples. There is no indication of it being used for diagnostic purposes based on analyzing these samples.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens obtained from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. The Celsio Flexible Cryocatheter System's function is therapeutic and interventional, not diagnostic based on in vitro analysis.

PERFORMANCE DATA

To support the substantial equivalence, performance testing of the subject device was conducted in accordance with the applicable standards and guidance documents to ensure that the subject device performs as intended. Design Verification and Validation testing was performed to evaluate the physical, performance and the safety specifications of the device. Device sterility, shelf life, and biological safety of device materials to the point of use were validated according to FDA recognized consensus standards and guidance documents. Thermal characteristics were tested and measured to evaluate substantial equivalence by assessing the ice ball dimensions, temperature, cooling and thawing rates. Pre-clinical testing (ex-vivo, in-vivo and post mortem) was conducted to evaluate the performance and safety of the subject device. The tests demonstrated that the technological characteristics of the subject device do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. The acceptance criteria have been satisfied for all the tests.

CONCLUSION

The subject device (Celsio Flexible Cryocatheter System K240776) and the predicate device (ERBEcryo2 Cryosurgical unit and accessories, K190651) are both cryosurgical devices intended for cryoadhesion and cryodevitalization. There are only minor technological differences between the two devices. However, the similarities in function, purpose and the performance testing for the subject device assure that it is at least as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate device.
