No
The document describes a cryosurgical system based on the Joule-Thomson principle and a microprocessor for control, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
Yes.
The device is intended for the surgical ablation (destruction) of tissue, which is a therapeutic intervention.
No
The device description clearly states its intended use is for "surgical ablation of tissue by the application of extreme cold" and "to destroy tissue by the application of extreme cold." This describes a therapeutic, not a diagnostic, function.
No
The device description clearly outlines three hardware components: a disposable Control Unit, a Cryoprobe, and a Console containing a compressor system, microprocessor, and user interface. This indicates it is a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- CryoGen System Function: The CryoGen Cryosurgical System is a surgical device that directly ablates tissue in vivo (within the living body) using extreme cold. It does not analyze specimens taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "surgical ablation of tissue by the application of extreme cold," which is a surgical procedure, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
The device description and intended use clearly indicate that this is a therapeutic surgical device, not a diagnostic one.

Device Description
The CryoGen Cryosurgery System consists of three components: the disposable Control Unit, the Cryoprobe and the Console, which contains the compressor system, microprocessor and user interface. The CryoGen Cryosurgery System is a cryosurgical device incorporating a gas cooled cryoprobe. Operation of the System is based on the Joule-Thomson principle in which pressurized coolants are expanded through a small orifice to produce cooling. The device is intended to destroy tissue by the application of extreme cold. Temperatures of -100 to -120 ℃ are developed at the tip of the cryoprobe. These temperatures are within the range of the predicate devices and is sufficient to achieve the desired tissue effect. None of the coolant comes into contact with the patient or physician. In addition, none of the coolant gases are exhausted into the atmosphere, the system is closed. There is no coeling along the shaft of the probe nor at the handle that is held by the user during treatment.

Dear Ms. Shea:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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 (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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 be advised that this substantial equivalence determination does not include an indication for cryoablation of the endometrium. The use of cryosurgery for endometrial ablation raises new types of safety and effectiveness questions when compared to currently identified predicate devices used for this purpose and therefore will require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA) for this indication.
Since, no data has been developed to establish the safety and effectiveness of this cryosurgical device for endometrial ablation, you may not market or promote such use until you have submitted such data and received clearance or approval for this claim.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that. through periodic OS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
