No
The description focuses on mechanical and control system differences, with no mention of AI or ML. The software modification was a removal of a feature, not an addition of AI/ML.
Yes
The device is used for "cryogenic destruction of tissues during surgical procedures" for the "ablation of tissue", which directly treats medical conditions. This falls under the definition of a therapeutic device.
No
The device is intended for cryogenic destruction and ablation of tissues, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones. While it mentions monitoring iceball size with ultrasound, the device itself is not performing diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as cryoprobes, gas cylinders, and an optional foot pedal control, indicating it is a physical medical device with associated software.
Based on the provided information, the Cryo-Mono Cryogenic System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "cryogenic destruction of tissues during surgical procedures" and "ablation of tissue". This describes a therapeutic intervention performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details a system that uses a cryoprobe to deliver cold to tissue for destruction. This is a physical treatment method.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. The Cryo-Mono operates in vivo (inside the body) to treat tissue.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Influence, Inc.'s Cryo-Mono Cryogenic System and Galil Medical, Ltd.'s Cryo-Hit Cryogenic System are intended for cryogenic destruction of tissues during surgical procedures. They are indicated for use as a cryosurgical tool in the fields of general surgery, dermatology, neurosurgery, thoracic surgery, ENT, gynecology, oncology, proctology, and urology for the ablation of tissue, including liver metastases, skin lesions, warts, and prostate tissues. Cryo-Mono with TUF probe is specifically indicated for the ablation of prostate tissue in cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia ("BPH").

Device Description
The Cryo-Mono is a modified version of Cryo-Hit. They have the same technological characteristics with several exceptions: The primary technological differences between the Cryo-Mono with TUF probe and the Cryo-Hit are: (1) Cryo-Mono with TUF accepts only one cryoprobe, the TUF probe, which is one of the options for the Cryo-Hit; (2) The Cryo-Mono with TUF probe is smaller than Cryo-Hit; (3) The Cryo-Mono with TUF probe has fewer gas cylinders; (4) The physician manually applies the Cryo-Mono's probe while with the Cryo-Hit, the physician has the option to use the "Stick" mode, which automatically adheres the probe to the tissue; (5) The Cryo-Mono with TUF probe has an optional foot pedal control; (6) The Cryo-Mono with TUF probe delivers preset amounts of argon for cooling while the Cryo-Hit adjusts the amount of argon delivered based on the tissue temperature measured by its thermocouples; (7) The Cryo-Mono with TUF probe's iceball size is monitored by transrectal ultrasound; the use of ultrasound, as well as external theromcouples, is optional with the Cryo-Hit; and (8) The Cryo-Mono's TUF probe is delivered transurethrally through a cystoscope rather than transperineally as with the Cryo-Hit.
The only modification to the device' s software was the removal of the "stick" option mentioned above.
The Cryo-Mono's single-use probes are within the range of probes that can be used with the Cryo-Hit, i.e. one to eight probes.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The only component of the Cryo-Mono that comes into contact with the patient's body is its cryoprobe. The biocompatibility of the Cryo-Mono is based on FDA premarket clearance of the Cryo-Hit. Its components are made of the same materials, as the Cryo-Hit's probes and Impra's Venaflo™ vascular graft. Influence has certified to the Cryo-Mono's conformance with IEC 60601-1. IEC 60601-1-2 and ASTM F882-84.

Substantial Equivalence:
The Cryo-Mono has the same general intended use and virtually identical technological characteristics as the 510(k) cleared Cryo-Hit. The minor technological differences between these devices, namely, the Cryo-Mono smaller size, use of fewer probes, lack of a "stick" option, foot pedal, modified software, fewer gas cylinders and acceptance of a transurethral flexible probe do not raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness. Thus, the Cryo-Mono is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed cryosurgical device. The Cryo-Mono with TUF probe is substantially equivalent to EndoCare's CryoCare™ in terms of its technology and indication for use. The Cryo-Mono with TUF probe is substantially equivalent also to Vidamed's TUNA system in terms of its indication.
