CAESAREA, Israel, June 4, 2024 -
IceCure Medical Ltd. (Nasdaq: ICCM) ("IceCure", "IceCure Medical" or the "Company"), developer of
the ProSense System, a minimally-invasive cryoablation technology that destroys tumors by freezing as an alternative to surgical
tumor removal, today announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") will convene a Medical Device Advisory Committee
for a panel meeting (the "Advisory Panel") to obtain independent expert advice on scientific, technical, and policy matters
related to ProSense to help the FDA make a sound decision.
"We believe the opportunity to have a public,
transparent, and open forum about this important women's health issue, led by outside, independent experts including physicians
and researchers, will be highly beneficial to all stakeholders," stated IceCure's CEO, Eyal Shamir. "We applaud the
FDA's decision to convene the Advisory Panel and for acknowledging the public health importance of being able to offer a minimally
invasive alternative to lumpectomy. The ICE3 data for ProSense , which has been consistently positive throughout IceCure's ICE3
study, will be shared with the Advisory Panel, highlighting its clinical and economic benefits and why women who have undergone a ProSense
cryoablation procedure have reported a 100% satisfaction rate. As we continue to engage with the FDA leading up to the Advisory Panel,
we believe increased awareness of ProSense as a result of the Advisory Panel may enable our U.S. commercial team to further support
our commercial efforts upon potential regulatory approval in the U.S."
The Advisory Panel is expected to convene in the
fourth quarter of 2024, with an FDA decision on whether to approve ProSense expected by early 2025. The FDA is expected to provide
the exact date for the Advisory Panel in the coming weeks, which the Company will also make known to its shareholders. The FDA generally

The Advisory Panel will review the vast body of data available on ProSense as a treatment for early-stage breast cancer, including
results from the ICE3 study, the largest controlled multicenter clinical trial ever performed for liquid nitrogen-based cryoablation of
early-stage malignant breast tumors. Per the analysis, at the 5-year follow-up evaluation, 96.3% of the subgroup of patients treated with
ProSense cryoablation, followed by hormone therapy, were estimated to be free from local recurrence. 100% patient and physician satisfaction
