Predicate Device The primary predicate device, AtriCure cryolCE cryoablation probe (CRYO2), was cleared via 510(k) K142203 on December 8, 2014 under the Product Code GEH. A secondary predicate device, Heartport Maze System: Cryoprobe Set, was cleared via 510(k) K970496 on May 9, 1997 under the Product Code OCL. The predicate devices have not been subject to a design-related recall. No reference devices were used in this submission. {4}------------------------------------------------ ## IV. Device Description AtriCure's cryolCE cryoFORM cryoablation probe (CRYOF) is a sterile, single use, cryosurgical device to be used in coniunction with the AtriCure Crvo Module [K111042. K11207. K140058, K142203) to freeze target tissue, blocking the electrical conduction pathways by creating an inflammatory response or cryonecrosis. #### V. Indications For Use AtriCure's cryolCE cryoFORM cryoablation probes are sterile, single use devices intended for use in the cryosurgical treatment of cardiac arrhythmias by freezing 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; . - . Same operating principle - Same fundamental scientific technology - Used with the same cryo module unit - . The basic design of the proposed device and the previously cleared devices are the same. The devices are disposable, single-use instruments including a cryotip end effector, shaft. handle, thermocouple, inlet tube, and exhaust tube. - . 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 corrugated stainless steel cryotip. more flexible tubing, and a different colored rigid shaft. {5}------------------------------------------------ # AtriCure® The AtriCure cryoFORM cryolCE cryoablation probe has the following similarities to the technological characteristics of the previously cleared predicate AtriCure cryolCE cryoablation probe K142203: | Feature | AtriCure cryolCE™ cryoablation probe<br>(CRYO2)<br>(K142203) | AtriCure cryoFORM cryolCE cryoablation probe<br>(CRYOF)<br>(Proposed Device) | |---------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Manufacturer | AtriCure, Inc. | Same | | Proprietary Name | AtriCure cryoICE cryoablation probe | AtriCure cryoFORM cryoICE cryoablation probe | | Product Code(s) | CRYO2 | CRY OF | | 510k Reference | K142203 | Subject of this submission | | Intended Use | AtriCure's cryoICE cryoablation probes are<br>sterile, single use devices intended for use in<br>the cryosurgical treatment of cardiac<br>arrhythmias by freezing target tissues,<br>creating an inflammatory response<br>(cryonecrosis) that blocks the electrical<br>conduction pathway.

Performance Data The modified cryolCE cryoablation probe was successfully tested on an animal model to confirm the modifications do not affect the ability to successfully ablate cardiac tissue. ## Thigh Prep Study Testing AtriCure conducted a GLP animal study to evaluate the performance of the CRYOF device in a live porcine thigh tissue model and to compare performance to the predicate CRYO2 device. Lesions were created by each of the cryoablation probes on porcine thigh muscle. The lesions were assessed using histopathology and morphometric measurements and the results demonstrated statistical equivalence via two one-sided tests (TOST) for lesion width and depth. Additional testing per 21 CFR 820.30 and AtriCure's Quality System was performed to verify the modified cryoablation probe's conformance to design controls and specification. Testing determined that the modified cryoablation probe conformed to design controls and product specifications. Non-clinical Bench Testing - Mechanical Testing - Reliability Testing ● - Cryogen Performance Testing - . Bench Testing on an Animal Model - . Sterilization Validation - . LAL Testina - Accelerated Aging Testing . - . Transit Testing ## Biocompatibility Testing The biocompatibility evaluation for the cryolCE crypablation 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 ● - . Material Mediated Pyrogenicity The cryolCE cryoFORM cryoablation probe is considered an "External Communicating Device," contact for "Tissue/Bone" and contact duration for "under 24 hours." #### VIII. Conclusions The proposed cryolCE cryoFORM cryoablation probe (CRYOF) is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared cryolCE cryoablation probe (CRYO2) as there is no change to intended use, the operating principle, or the basic design of the cryoablation probe. The totality of evidence supports a decision that the modifications to the cryoablation probe have been successfully evaluated for its intended use.
