The Verruca-Freeze H Plus cryosurgical system is intended for use by trained medical professionals to treat the following benign skin lesions:
- Actinic Keratosis
- Genital Warts
- Lentigo
- Molluscum Contagiosum
- Seborrheic Keratosis
- Skin Tags
- Verruca Plantaris
- Verruca Vulgaris
- Verruca Plana
The main component of the Verruca-Freeze® H Plus cryosurgical system is the pressurized aerosol canister containing cryogen spray. The canister is used with foam swabs, which are non-sterile, single-use applicators that are disposed of after each use. The foam swabs allow the cryogen to be localized to a target lesion.
The procedure begins by saturating a foam swab with cryogen and then placing it directly onto the lesion for 15–40 seconds. Upon removal of the swab from the skin, the frozen tissue appears white and begins thawing. The typical thaw time is 20–40 seconds. This treatment methodology is simple and has been an accepted practice used by physicians for decades. It utilizes a cryogen formulation to freeze lesions and destroy the underlying tissue through evaporative cooling. On the cellular level, both extracellular and intracellular ice formation occur. This submission includes a modification to the cryogen formulation. No other changes were made to the device design, intended use, or operating principle.

Dear Kaitlyn Clements:
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. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"

510(k) Summary
Verruca-Freeze H Plus
K252903
Version: 1 Page 4 of 4
The Verruca-Freeze® H Plus cryosurgical system is substantially equivalent to the predicate device (K243454). The modification does not change the device's intended use, indications, or technological characteristics other than the cryogen formulation. The change to the formulation does not introduce new risks or affect safety or effectiveness. Verification and validation activities demonstrate that the modified device meets all acceptance criteria and continues to perform as intended.
