Device Description

The CMS Blizzard 700 Series Models 730, 740, 750, 760, 770, 780 & 790 are made up of two components: 1) a console which holds up to two cryogen packets of varving sizes and 2) depending on the model, can employ from three to nine individually controlled cryoprobes. The consoles includes a power switch, individually controlled cryogen flow switches, thermocouple temperature displays and, depending on the model between three and nine cryoprobe ports. The devices are used to destroy unwanted tissue by the application of cold to the selected site. The cryogen is forced through the cryoprobe under pressure. The cryoprobe, having been placed in the appropriate position, then becomes cold and freezes the tissue.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the CMS Blizzard 700 Series cryosurgical units. It describes the device, its intended use, and compares it to predicate devices. However, this document does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets specific performance criteria.

The 510(k) summary is a regulatory document used to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, primarily focusing on similarities in intended use, technology, and safety/effectiveness. It is not a clinical study report or a detailed performance validation report.

Therefore, for your request, I must report that the requested information is not present in the provided text.

Specifically:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: Not present. The document focuses on comparing features with predicate devices, not on quantitative performance metrics or acceptance criteria for those metrics.
  2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not present. No test set or study data is mentioned.
  3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not present. There is no mention of ground truth establishment.
  4. Adjudication method for the test set: Not present.
  5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: Not present. This document describes a cryosurgical unit, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or therapeutic device.
  6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not present. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.
  7. The type of ground truth used: Not present.
  8. The sample size for the training set: Not present.
  9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not present.

Common name: Cryosurgical unit and accessories

A cryosurgical unit with liquid nitrogen nitrous oxide, or Classification: carbon dioxide cooled cryoprobe and accessories is classified in Class II under CFR § 878.4350. Under CFR § 882.4250, a cryogenic surgical device is also classified in Class II.

The CMS Blizzard 700 Series Models 730, 740, 750, 760, 770, 780 & 790 are made up of two components: 1) a console which holds up to two cryogen packets of varving sizes and 2) depending on the model, can employ from three to nine individually controlled cryoprobes. The consoles includes a power switch, individually controlled cryogen flow switches, thermocouple temperature displays and, depending on the model between three and nine cryoprobe ports.

The devices are used to destroy unwanted tissue by the application of cold to the selected site. The cryogen is forced through the cryoprobe under pressure. The cryoprobe, having been placed in the appropriate position, then becomes cold and freezes the tissue.

Re: K980668 Trade Name: CMS Blizzard 700 Series Models 730, 740, 750, 760, 770, 780 & 790 Regulatory Class: II (two) Product Code: OCL, GEH Dated: June 2, 1998 Received June 2, 1998

Dear Dr. Reinhart:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of July 17 1998.

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 (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval (PMA). 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.

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.

{4}------------------------------------------------

Page 2 - Mr. Richard J. Reinhart, Ph.D.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807): labeling (21 CFR Part 801): good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to continue marketing your device as described in your Section 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), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html
