Intended Use

The SurgiFrost® 7cm and 10cm Cryosurgical Devices plus FrostByte" Clamp and Cryosurgical Console is intended for minimally invasive cardiac surgical procedures, including the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. The SurgiFrost® 6cm, 7cm and 10cm Cryosurgical Devices plus FrostByte™ Clamp and Cryosurgical Console freezes the target tissue and blocks the electrical conduction pathways by creating an inflammatory response and cryonecrosis.

Device Story

System comprises cryosurgical console, gas tank regulator, and single-use disposable probes (SurgiFrost 6cm, 7cm, 10cm) and FrostByte clamp. Operates via Joule-Thomson effect using inert argon gas to deliver extreme cold to target cardiac tissue. Used in surgical settings by physicians to create cryonecrosis and inflammatory response, effectively blocking aberrant electrical conduction pathways. Console powered by 120/230 VAC. System provides controlled freezing to facilitate cardiac ablation, aiding in arrhythmia management.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.

Technological Characteristics

Cryosurgical unit utilizing inert argon gas for cooling. System includes console, gas regulator, single-use disposable probes, and clamp. Operates on 120/230 VAC. Mechanical cooling via gas expansion. No software-based algorithms or electronic signal processing described.

Indications for Use

Indicated for minimally invasive cardiac surgical procedures, including treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, in patients requiring tissue ablation to block electrical conduction pathways.

Regulatory Classification

Identification
