{5}------------------------------------------------
## Technological Characteristics
The IceCure Family of cryotherapy devices includes the IceSense™3 single-probe system (cleared under 510(k) #K102360 and rebranded as ProSense™), and MultiSense™ – a new system that accommodates up to three cryoprobes operating in parallel. The systems are used to destroy unwanted tissue by application of extreme cold to the selected sites. The devices deliver cold temperatures to targeted tissue by pressurized liquid nitrogen closed system and a disposable cryoprobe. Various cryoprobes are available.
The devices consist of a main chassis for the cooling system, a controller, a touch screen, a foot pedal and a cryohandle that controls the system and holds the probe.
Safety measures of the system include alarms, safety valve, emergency button and automatic abortion of the procedure in case of technical malfunction.
# Comparison with the Predicate Device
Cryoablation is the fundamental technological principle for both the subject IceCure Family of cryotherapy devices and the predicate lceSense™3 System (K102360) and Galil Medical Seednet family (K052530). The subject and marketed predicate devices are used to ablate unwanted tissue by application of extreme cold.
The subject and predicate devices are based on the same technological principles:
- . Delivery of cryogen from a dewar to a cryoprobe tip
- Application of cryogen to ablate (freeze) the unwanted tissue .
- Heat transfer at the tip of the cryoprobe for quick release of the probe
- User-controlled (trigger/foot pedal) to release cryogen .
- Software activated Controller .
ProSense™ is a mere rebranding of the cleared IceSense™3 single-probe system (K102360). Therefore, the ProSense™ System has the same hardware and software components as the lceSense™3 System. Hardware and software changes introduced since the device was originally cleared on November 29, 2010, were analyzed following FDA's Guidance Documents – "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (K97-1) dated January 10, 1997 and "Deciding When to Submit 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device," dated October 25, 2017. All changes were determined not to require new 510(k) premarket notifications and were
{6}------------------------------------------------
therefore documented and released based on the company's standard operating procedures. This submission includes the current configuration of the system.
The MultiSense™ System has the same principle of operation and technological features as the single-probe IceSense™3 (K102360) and the multi-probe Galil Medical Seednet (K052530) systems. It can accommodate up to three cryoprobes operating in parallel.
The submission was focused on two key elements:
- IceCure Medical's multi-probe system design is similar to the Galil Medical Seednet . (K052530) predicate.
- . Streamline the Indications for Use of the IceCure Family cryoablation system in accordance with those of the predicate devices.

### Performance Data
Performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination. System was tested for conformance with relevant safety and performance standards, such as electrical testing, electromagnetic compatibility and software validation and verification, formulated in the device specifications. In all instances, the systems functioned as intended and the performance observed met acceptance criteria for all tests.
### Sterilization
The IceCure Family cryoablation system accessories (probes, introducers and temperature sensor) are all sterilized utilizing an Ethylene Oxide sterilization cycle validated in accordance with ISO 11135 - Medical Devices - Validation and Routine Control of Ethylene Oxide Sterilization.
### Biocompatibility
The biocompatibility evaluation of patient contacting materials of the IceCure Family cryoablation system accessories was conducted in accordance with FDA's "Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff: Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process"". Biocompatibility testing was not required as there were no changes in patient contacting materials.
### EMC and Electrical Safety
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electrical safety (ES) of the Ice Cure Family cryoablation system were tested and determined to be compliant with the following standards:
{11}------------------------------------------------
- . ES60601-1:2005/(R)2012 and A1:2012, C1:2009/(R)2012 and A2:2010/(R)2012 (Consolidated Text) Medical electrical equipment - Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance (IEC 60601-1:2005, MOD).
- IEC 60601-1-2 Edition 4.0 2014-02 Medical electrical equipment Part 1-2: General . requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic disturbances - Requirements and tests.
### Bench testing
Bench testing focused on demonstrating the performance of the MultiSense system using multiple probes. The performance of the MultiSense devices was found to be similar to that of the predicate devices IceSense™3 System (K102360) and Gall Medical Seednet family (K052530). Specifically, testing documented that in the range of up to 15 minutes freeze, the probes can create an iceball of at least 40 mm diameter for a single probe, and 94 mm for a three-probe system. Performance testing included testing of the shaft temperature during freeze, thaw and warm phases. Results demonstrated that temperatures along the shaft remained within the device's specifications during all phases. The time change of iceball size and probe tip temperature were similar for the candidate and predicate devices. Iceball isotherm measurements were conducted and the results met the device's specifications.
### Performance Testing - Clinical
Clinical testing was not required to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the device.
### Substantial Equivalence
The IceCure Family devices are as safe and effective as the cleared IceSense™3 System (K102360) and the cleared Galil Medical Seednet family (K052530).
The IceCure Family devices have the same intended uses and indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as the predicate devices. The minor technological differences between the IceCure devices and their predicate devices do not raise different issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the IceCure devices are as safe and effective as the cleared IceSense™ System (K102360) and the cleared Galil Medical Seednet family (K052530).
Thus, the IceCure Family of cryotherapy systems is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices.
