CRYO-TOUCH III
The Myoscience Cryo-Touch III is used to destroy tissue during surgical procedures by applying freezing cold. It can also be used to produce lesions in peripheral nervous tissue by the application of cold to the selected site for the blocking of pain. The Cryo-Touch III is not indicated for treatment of central nervous system tissue.
The Myoscience Cryo-Touch III is a portable cryogenic surgical device used to destroy tissue and/or produce lesions in nervous tissue through application of extreme cold to the selected site. The device is based on introduction of a needle probe, "Tip" cooled by the cryogenic fluid (liguid nitrous oxide, N₂O) to a selected area. The Tip is cooled by the Joule-Thomson effect and/or Latent Heat of Vaporization. The Cryo-Touch III may be used in conjunction with a standard off-the-shelf nerve stimulator device in applications where precise nerve location is desired.
The provided text describes the Myoscience Cryo-Touch III, a cryogenic surgical device. Since this is a medical device and not an AI/ML-based system, many of your requested criteria (such as sample size for test/training sets, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance) are not applicable. The device's performance is demonstrated through various engineering and preclinical tests, not through studies involving human or imaging data analysis.
Here's a breakdown of the applicable information:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Implicit Acceptance Criteria: The phrase "Substantially equivalent to predicate" indicates that the Cryo-Touch III met the same performance standards and safety profiles as the previously cleared Cryo-Touch and Cryo-Touch II devices. This implies that the acceptance criteria are based on the established performance of the predicate devices and relevant industry standards (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, ISO 10993-1, ISO 11137-1, ISO 11607, and ASTM F882-84).
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
Since this is a physical medical device and not a data-driven AI system, there is no "test set" in the context of data. The "tests performed" refer to laboratory and engineering evaluations. The sample size for these tests would typically involve a predefined number of devices or components to be tested according to design verification and validation protocols (e.g., a certain number of units for durability testing, or a specific number of cycles for reliability tests). This specific number is not provided in the summary. Data provenance is not applicable in this context.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
Not applicable. Ground truth as typically understood in AI/ML (e.g., expert labels on images) is not relevant for this type of medical device's performance evaluation. The "ground truth" for the device's technical specifications and safety would be established through engineering specifications, regulatory standards, and established scientific principles.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. Adjudication methods are typically used for resolving discrepancies in expert labeling or diagnoses, which is not relevant for the technical performance testing of this device.
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 applicable. This device is a cryogenic surgical tool, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or treatment planning system. Therefore, MRMC studies are not relevant.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The "ground truth" for this device's performance is based on:
- Engineering Specifications: The design parameters and target performance metrics defined by the manufacturer.
- International Standards: Adherence to recognized medical device standards (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, ISO 10993-1, ISO 11137-1, ISO 11607, and ASTM F882-84).
- Predicate Device Performance: The established safety and effectiveness profile of the legally marketed predicate devices (Cryo-Touch and Cryo-Touch II).
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This device does not use a "training set" in the AI/ML sense.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable. There is no training set for this device.
