Irvine, CA-The Cryocare CN2 System from Endocare, Inc. has received 510K clearance from the FDA. The device uses the freezing capability of nitrogen at the point between gas and liquid-"critical nitrogen"-to destroy cancerous tissue quicker and more cost-effectively than argon can, according to the manufacturer. The speed and precision of this new technology can expedite procedures, Endocare says, because it is easy to use and it delivers a colder, more powerful ice ball at the end of the probes.
