Intended Use

AtriCure's cryolCE cryo-ablation probe is a sterile, single use device intended for use in the cryosurgical treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. The probe freezes target tissues, creating an inflammatory response (cryonecrosis) that blocks the electrical conduction pathway.

Device Story

Sterile, single-use cryosurgical probe; used with AtriCure Cryo Module or ACC2 Cardiac Cryosurgical System. Probe freezes target cardiac tissue via cryotip end effector; creates inflammatory response/cryonecrosis to block electrical conduction pathways. Operated by surgeons in clinical settings. Modifications include malleable aluminum alloy cryotip and rigid shaft for improved surgeon preference and patient body habitus accommodation. Output is physical tissue ablation; clinical benefit is treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.

Clinical Evidence

No human clinical data provided. Evidence consists of non-clinical bench testing (mechanical, reliability, cryogen performance) and animal model validation to confirm ablation efficacy. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993-1, including cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity, and hemolysis.

Technological Characteristics

Disposable, single-use cryosurgical probe. Components: aluminum alloy cryotip, rigid shaft, handle, thermocouple, inlet/exhaust tubes. Sensing/actuation: cryosurgical freezing. Connectivity: connects to external AtriCure Cryo Module or ACC2 system. Biocompatibility: ISO 10993-1 compliant. Contact: External communicating, tissue/bone, <24 hours.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring cryosurgical treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. No specific age or gender restrictions provided.

#### V. Indications For Use

AtriCure's cryolCE™ cryo-ablation probe is a sterile, single use device intended for use in the cryosurgical treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. The PROBE freezes target tissues, creating an inflammatory response (cryonecrosis) that blocks the electrical conduction pathway.

#### VI. Comparison Of Technological Characteristics With The Predicate Device

- . Same intended use and;
- o Same operating principle
- Same fundamental scientific technology ●
- Used with the same crvo module units
- The basic design of the proposed device and the previously cleared devices are the same. 0 The devices are disposable, single-use instruments including a cryotip end effector, shaft, handle, thermocouple, inlet tube, and exhaust tube.
- o The modifications to the proposed cryolCE probe are designed to provide increased options for surgeons based on patient body habitus and surgeon preference. Major modifications compared to the predicate include a more malleable aluminum alloy cryotip and a different colored rigid shaft.

#### VII. Performance Data

The modified cryolCE cryo-ablation probe was tested on an animal model to confirm the modifications do not affect the ability to successfully ablate cardiac tissue. Additional testing per 21 CFR 820.30 and AtriCure's Quality System was performed to verify the modified cryo-ablation probe's conformance to design controls and specification. Testing determined that the modified cryo-ablation probe conformed to design controls and product specifications.

## Non-clinical Bench Testing

- Mechanical Testing
- . Reliability Testing
- Cryogen Performance Testing ●
- o Validation Testing on an Animal Model

## Biocompatibility Testing

The biocompatibility evaluation for the cryolCE cryo-ablation probe was conducted in accordance with the International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process" as recognized by FDA. The battery of testing included the following tests:

- . Cytotoxicity
- . Sensitization
- Irritation ●
- Systemic Toxicity ●
- . Hemolysis

The cryolCE cryo-ablation probe is considered an "External Communicating Device," contact for "Tissue/Bone" and contact duration for "under 24 hours."

#### VIII. Conclusions

The modified cryolCE cryo-ablation probe is equivalent to the previously cleared Cryo1 cryoablation probe as there is no change to intended use, the operating principle, or the basic design of the cryo-ablation probe. The modifications to the cryo-ablation probe do not affect the ability of the probe to successfully ablate cardiac tissue.
