It is indicated for use as a cryosurgical tool in the fields of general surgery, dermatology, neurology (including cryoanalgesia), thoracic surgery, ENT, gynecology, oncology, proctology, and urology. The system is designed to destroy tissue by the application of extreme cold temperatures including prostate and kidney tissue, liver metastases, tumors, skin lesions, and warts. The SeedNet™ System (SeedNet Gold™ System) has the following specific indications: Urology (ablation of prostate tissue in cases of prostate cancer and Benign Prostate Hyperplasia "BPH") Oncology (ablation of cancerous or malignant tissue and benign tumors and palliative intervention) Dermatology (ablation or freezing of skin cancers and other cutaneous disorders. Destruction of warts or lesions, angiomas, sebaceous hyperplasia, basal cell tumors of the eyelid or canthus area, ulcerated basal cell tumors, dermatofibromas small hemanglomas, mucocele cysts, multiple warts. plantar warts, actinic and seborrheic keratoses, cavernous hemanglomas, perianal condylomata, and palliation of tumors of the skin) Gynecology (ablation of malignant neoplasia or benign dysplasia of the female genitalia) General surgery (palliation of tumors of the rectum, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, pilonidal cysts, and recurrent cancerous lesions.) ENT (Palliation of tumors of the oral cavity and ablation of leukoplakia of the mouth). Thoracic surgery (ablation of arrhythmic cardiac tissue and cancerous lesions.) Proctology (ablation of benign or malignant growths of the anus or rectum and hemorrhoids) The SeedNet™ System (SeedNet Gold™ System) may be used with a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device or an ultrasound device to provide real-time visualization of the cryosurgical procedure. ## Device Story Cryosurgical system for tissue destruction via extreme cold. System utilizes cryoprobes to apply cold temperatures to target tissues; includes SmartWarmer accessory for transurethral warming during prostate procedures. Operated by physicians in clinical settings (OR/clinic). Compatible with MRI or ultrasound for real-time procedural visualization. Output is physical tissue ablation; assists clinicians in treating cancerous/benign growths and palliative care. Benefits include precise tissue destruction and procedural guidance. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. No clinical data presented. Testing demonstrated the modified transurethral warmer (TUW) is as safe and effective as the predicate TUW in maintaining urethral temperature during cryosurgical procedures. ## Technological Characteristics Cryosurgical unit; includes cryoprobes and SmartWarmer™ transurethral warming accessory. Modification of K021261. Operates via extreme cold application. Compatible with MRI and ultrasound imaging systems. No software algorithm or connectivity details provided. ## Regulatory Identification (1) Cryosurgical unit with a liquid nitrogen cooled cryoprobe and accessories.

SeedNet™ {1}------------------------------------------------ #### Indications for Use: The SeedNet with the SmartWarmer is indicated for use as a cryosurgical tool in the fields of general surgery, dermatology, neurology (including cryoanalgesia), thoracic surgery, ENT, gynecology, oncology, proctology, and urology. The system is designed to destroy tissue by the application of extreme cold temperatures including prostate and kidney tissue, liver metastases, tumors, skin lesions, and warts. The SeedNet with modified TUW has the following specific indications: Urology (ablation of prostate tissue in cases of prostate cancer and Benign Prostate Hyperplasia "BPH") Oncology (ablation of cancerous or malignant tissue and benign tumors, and palliative intervention) Dermatology (ablation or freezing of skin cancers and other cutaneous disorders. Destruction of warts or lesions, angiomas, sebaceous hyperplasia, basal cell tumors of the eyelid or canthus area, ulcerated basal cell tumors, dermatofibromas small hemanglomas, mucocele cysts, multiple warts, plantar warts, actinic and seborrheic keratoses, cavernous hemanglomas, perianal condylomata, and palliation of tumors of the skin) Gynecology (ablation of malignant neoplasia or benign dysplasia of the female genitalia) General surgery (palliation of tumors of the rectum, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, pilonidal cysts, and recurrent cancerous lesions.) ENT (Palliation of tumors of the oral cavity and ablation of leukoplakia of the mouth). Thoracic surgery (ablation of arrhythmic cardiac tissue cancerous lesions) Proctology (ablation of benign or malignant growths of the anus or rectum, and hemorrhoids) The SeedNet System may be used with a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device or an ultrasound device to provide real-time visualization of the cryosurgical procedure. {2}------------------------------------------------ #### Technological Characteristics: Galil Medical's SeedNet™ System with the SmartWarmer is a modification of Galil Medical LTD's cleared SeedNet™ System (K021261). The SeedNet™ System is the exact same device as the SeedNet™ except for the substitution of the SmartWarmer™ for Gaymar's warmer and Barnant's pump as the device's transurethral warmer ("TUW") accessory. #### Performance Testing Bench testing demonstrated that the SeedNet with modified TUW is at least as safe and effective as the cleared TUW in maintaining the urethra temperature during cryosurgical procedures. #### Comparison to the Predicate Device The SeedNet with the modified TUW has the same intend use, general and specific indications, and principles of operation as the cleared SeedNet™. In addition, the SeedNet with the modified TUW has the exact same technological characteristics as the cleared SeedNet except for their TUW accessories. The minor technical differences between the SeedNet with the modified TUW and the cleared SeedNet, which are primarily due to the SmartWarmer being designed specifically for use with the SeedNet while the cleared TUW contained an off-the-shelf components. Therefore, these differences do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. Furthermore, performance testing demonstrates that the modified TUW is as safe and effective as the cleared TUW. Thus, the SeedNet with the modified TUW is substantially equivalent. {3}------------------------------------------------ DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Public Health Service Image /page/3/Picture/2 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
