Regulatory Classification

Identification

A cryophthalmic unit is a device that is a probe with a small tip that becomes extremely cold through the controlled use of a refrigerant or gas. The device may be AC-powered. The device is intended to remove cataracts by the formation of an adherent ice ball in the lens, to freeze the eye and adjunct parts for surgical removal of scars, and to freeze tumors.

Disposable Cryo Probe and Predicate Devices {6}------------------------------------------------ ### Performance Data The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination. ### Biocompatibility testing The biocompatibility evaluation of the D.O.R.C. Disposable Cryo Probe was conducted in accordance with the FDA Blue Book Memorandum #G95-1 "Use of International Standard ISO-10993, 'Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing, " May 1, 1995, and International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices — Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process," as recognized by FDA. #### Performance Testing Although animal and clinical performance testing was not required for the D.O.R.C. Disposable Cryo Probe to demonstrate efficacy, safety and substantial equivalence to predicate devices, a variety of laboratory (bench) performance tests have been conducted including freeze and defrost performance and compatibility testing with the Cryostar 1500.III Cryosurgical System. The 'freeze performance' test showed that both the Disposable Cryo Probe (1540.D) and the Reusable Cryoprobe (1540) produced an ice ball of on average 4.9mm after 10s operation when immersed in water of 20℃ with both CO2 and N20. The 'defrost performance' test showed that both the Disposable Cryo Probe (1540.D) and the Reusable Cryoprobe (1540) released the ice ball of at least 4mm within 5s after activation of the defrost function with both CO2 and N2O. Therefore it was concluded that the Disposable Cryoprobe (1540.D) is equivalent to the Reusable Cryoprobe (1540). Both the 'freeze performance' test and the 'defrost performance' test were performed using the Cryostar (1500.III), showing the compatibility of the Disposable Cryoprobe (1540.D) with this Cryosurgical System. {7}------------------------------------------------ | Standard # | Title | |---------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | EN ISO 10993- 1:2009/AC:2010 | Biological Evaluation Of Medical Devices -- Part 1: Evaluation And Testing | | EN ISO 10993-5: 2009 | Biological Evaluation Of Medical Devices -- Part 5: Tests For In Vitro Cytotoxicity | | EN ISO 10993-7: 2008/AC:2009 | Biological Evaluation Of Medical Devices - Part 7: Ethylene Oxide Sterilization Residuals | | EN ISO 10993-10: 2010 | Biological Evaluation Of Medical Devices - Part 10: Tests For Irritation And Sensitization | | ISO 10993-12: 2012 | Biological Evaluation Of Medical Devices - Part 12: Sample Preparation and Reference Materials | | ISO 11135-1:2007 | Sterilization Of Health-Care Products - Ethylene Oxide – Part 1: Requirements for the Development, Validation and Routine Control of a Sterilization Process for Medical Devices | | EN ISO 14971:2012 | Medical Devices: Application Of Risk Management To Medical Devices | | ISO 11607-1:2009 | Packaging For Terminally Sterilized Medical Devices - Part 1: Requirements For Materials, Sterile Barrier Systems And Packaging Systems | | ISO 11607-2:2006 | Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices - Part 2: Validation requirements for forming, sealing and assembly processes | | ISO 15223-1:2012 | Medical devices - Symbols to be used with medical device labels, labelling and information to be supplied - Part 1: General requirements | | ASTM D4169-14 | Practice for performance testing of shipping containers and systems Practice for performance testing of shipping containers and systems | | EN 62366:2008 | Medical devices - Application of usability engineering to medical devices | The device will comply with applicable sections of the following standards: # Conclusion The information presented in this 510(k) premarket notification demonstrates that the D.O.R.C. Disposable Cryo Probe is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices.
