No
The summary describes a standard cryotherapy system and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is intended for "surgical ablation of tissue" which is a therapeutic intervention, and the manufacturer highlights its "safety and effectiveness" which are common claims for therapeutic devices.

No
The device is described as a cryo-therapy system intended for the surgical ablation or destruction of tissue by applying extreme cold, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "system" that includes a "console" and a "reusable cryoprobe," indicating hardware components are integral to its function.

Based on the provided information, the Soprano™ Cryo-Therapy System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "surgical ablation of tissue by the application of extreme cold". This describes a procedure performed directly on a patient's body (in vivo) to destroy tissue.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by stating it's a "general use cryotherapy system for the destruction or cryoablation of tissue" and involves a cryorefrigerant circulating to a cryoprobe. This is a physical intervention on the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) or providing information about a patient's health status based on such analysis. IVDs are designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions.

Therefore, the Soprano™ Cryo-Therapy System is a therapeutic device used for surgical intervention, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
