Intended Use
The D.O.R.C. Harmony CryoStar Cryosurgical System is a surgical system for ophthalmic surgery intended for use in surgery of the posterior segment or anterior segment including cryopexy for retinal detachment, glaucoma, cataract extraction, trichiasis, and retinopathy of prematurity.
Device Story
D.O.R.C. CryoStar Cryosurgical System is an AC-powered ophthalmic cryosurgical unit. System components include a console, cryogen gas bottle (nitrous oxide or carbon dioxide), ophthalmic probe, and footswitch. Console controls gas delivery to the probe; processes footswitch signals to initiate freeze/defrost cycles. Used in clinical settings by ophthalmic surgeons for procedures including retinal detachment, glaucoma, cataract extraction, trichiasis, and retinopathy of prematurity. Provides digital timer, LED pressure, and temperature displays to assist surgeon monitoring. Enables controlled tissue freezing for therapeutic benefit.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on technological characteristics and operational comparison to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Electro-mechanical cryosurgical system. Powered by mains electricity. Uses medical-grade nitrous oxide or carbon dioxide. Features include manual pressure control, thermocouple-based temperature measurement, and LED array displays for pressure and temperature. Includes a digital timer. Probes are reusable and autoclavable. Non-programmable firmware controls system operation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for ophthalmic surgery, including posterior and anterior segment procedures such as cryopexy for retinal detachment, glaucoma, cataract extraction, trichiasis, and retinopathy of prematurity.
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.

Dear Mr. Furlong:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
{3}------------------------------------------------
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
