No
The provided text describes a cryotherapy device using specific chemical refrigerants for treating various skin conditions. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices.

Yes
The document states that the device is "to be used for the treatment of verruca (warts) including plantar warts, seborrheic keratoses, actinic keratoses, achrochordon, molluscum contagiosum, age spots, dermatofibroma, small keloids, granuloma annulare, porokeratosis plantaris, angiomas, lentigo maligna, keratoacanthoma, basal cell, bowen's disease, lentigo discreta, chondrodermatitis, epithelial nevus, leukoplakia, granuloma pyogenicum, kaposi's sarcoma, and pyogenic granuloma," which describes a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is described as being used for the "treatment" of various skin conditions, and there is no mention of it being used for diagnosis or detection.

No

The provided text describes a mixture of chemical substances (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, pentafluoroethane, and 1,1,1-trifluoroethane) intended for the treatment of various skin conditions. This is a description of a drug or a chemical product, not a software device. The lack of any mention of software, algorithms, data processing, or digital components further confirms it is not a software-only medical device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the treatment of various skin conditions by applying specific chemical substances. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information about a disease or condition.
  • Device Description: While the device description is "Not Found," the intended use clearly points to a treatment method.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions. This device's purpose is to directly treat skin lesions.

Dear Dr. McDow:

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.

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 requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) 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.
