Overview
AI-generated summary, 18 Sep 2026
The CoolCryo system comprises a cryosurgical device designed for cardiac cryoablation, classified as a unit, cryosurgical accessory. It employs extreme cold to create controlled tissue ablation, primarily used in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. The cryoapplicator (CC01-01) delivers localized freezing, while the control console (CC01-21) regulates cryogenic energy via liquid nitrogen.
The cryoapplicator is a sterile, single-use component intended for hospital operating rooms, operated by trained healthcare professionals. The control console is a reusable, nonsterile device with a liquid nitrogen reservoir, requiring proper storage and handling. Authorized under FDA 510(k) clearance (K251928) and regulated under 21 CFR 878.4350, the system adheres to Class II medical device standards. No MRI safety information or additional size specifications are provided.
From the manufacturer
CoolCryo is a cardiac cryoablation technology that uses liquid nitrogen as the cooling medium. Liquid nitrogen is widely available, commonly used, and one of the most cost-effective cooling agents, which significantly reduces the cost of the procedure and increases its accessibility.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
What is the primary clinical application of the CoolCryo system, and how does it achieve its effect?
The CoolCryo system is designed for cardiac cryoablation, a procedure used to treat cardiac arrhythmias by delivering controlled freezing to targeted tissue. The cryoapplicator (CC01-01) applies extreme cold to create localized tissue ablation, while the control console (CC01-21) regulates the cryogenic energy via liquid nitrogen. This precise freezing disrupts abnormal electrical pathways in the heart, helping restore normal rhythm.
Is the cryoapplicator reusable, or is it intended for single-use only? How does this affect its use in the operating room?
The cryoapplicator (CC01-01) is explicitly labeled as a sterile, single-use component, meaning it must be discarded after one procedure. This design ensures patient safety by preventing cross-contamination and maintains sterility in the hospital operating room environment. The control console (CC01-21), however, is reusable and nonsterile, requiring proper cleaning and maintenance between uses.
What storage requirements apply to the CoolCryo system, particularly for the liquid nitrogen reservoir in the control console?
The control console (CC01-21) includes a liquid nitrogen reservoir, which must be stored and handled according to cryogenic safety protocols. Since it is reusable and nonsterile, it requires proper containment, ventilation, and temperature control to prevent leaks or spills. The cryoapplicator (CC01-01), being single-use and sterile, should be stored in its original packaging until immediately before use, following manufacturer guidelines to preserve sterility.
Are there any size or model variations for the cryoapplicator, or is it a single standardized tool?
The provided data does not specify size variations or distinct model numbers for the cryoapplicator (CC01-01) beyond its core function as a cryosurgical accessory for cardiac ablation. However, the system is classified under product code GEH (General, Plastic Surgery) and 21 CFR 878.4350, which may imply standardized sizing for cardiac procedures. For exact dimensions or model-specific details, consulting the manufacturer’s technical documentation is recommended.
How is the CoolCryo system regulated, and what does its FDA clearance status indicate about its safety and performance?
The CoolCryo system holds FDA 510(k) clearance (K251928), classified as a Class II medical device under 21 CFR 878.4350. This clearance indicates that the manufacturer has demonstrated to the FDA that the device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device in terms of safety and effectiveness. While this does not imply approval for specific clinical outcomes, it confirms that the system meets regulatory standards for use in cardiac cryoablation procedures when used as intended by trained professionals.
