Intended Use

The Model 26-2500, Aura 20, Bipolar Electrosurgical Coagulator is a general purpose solid state bipolar generator used to supply the RF signal to electrosurgical handpieces used on soft body tissues where a wide range of tissue types, patient conditions, and load impedances are encountered.

Device Story

Aura 20 (Model 26-2500) is a solid-state bipolar electrosurgical generator. It accepts input power (115/230 VAC) and delivers low-voltage RF/bipolar energy to electrosurgical handpieces via standard female banana jacks. Operated by footswitch, it replaces manual hand-switch activation. The device utilizes microprocessor technology and a modular medical-grade power supply to control output. Membrane keypads replace traditional potentiometers for adjusting power levels and tonal volume. Used in clinical settings by healthcare providers, the device facilitates soft tissue coagulation. By providing controlled RF energy, it assists surgeons in achieving hemostasis across various tissue types and load impedances.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Compliance with ANSI/AAMI/IEC 60601-1-2 (2001), IEC 60601-2-2 (1998), and ANSI/AAMI HF 18 (2001) standards established safety and effectiveness.

Technological Characteristics

Solid-state bipolar generator; microprocessor-controlled; membrane keypad interface; footswitch activation; standard female banana jack outputs; 115/230 VAC input (auto-switching); modular medical-grade power supply. Complies with ANSI/AAMI/IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-2, and ANSI/AAMI HF 18.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use as a general purpose bipolar generator to supply RF signals to electrosurgical handpieces for soft tissue coagulation in patients requiring electrosurgical intervention.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device and accessories is a device intended to remove tissue and control bleeding by use of high-frequency electrical current.

## SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS

## FOR THE

JAN 1 5 2003

## MODEL 26-2500, AURA 20, BIPOLAR ELECTROSURGICAL COAGULATOR

K 023482

The Model 26-2500, Aura 20, Bipolar Electrosurgical Coagulator, is a general purpose solid state bipolar generator used to supply the RF signal to electrosurgical handpieces used on soft body tissues where a wide range of tissue types, patient conditions, and load impedances are encountered. This indication for use is identical to its predicate device i.e., the 28-1000, Kirwan 50 Watt Binolar Generator.

Technological safety and effectiveness is established by the fact that the Aura 20, like its predicates, offers well-proven, basic electrosurgical unit technology. Its footswitch activation and solid state circuitry delivers low voltage RF/bipolar energy, interfacing with electrosurgical accessories via its standard female banana jacks. The Aura 20 differs technologically from its predicates with only minor operational features designed to enhance user interface. The following are some of those features.

- While operating on both 115 and 230 VAC mains supply as its predicates, the Aura 20 ■ does not require the placement of an external jumper in order to select between the two different voltage levels.
- Activation of the Aura 20 is via footswitch only, eliminating the optional hand switch ■ activation of its predicates, which is viewed as a little-used option and expendable in order to simplify construction, and limit size.
- . While similarly relying on solid-state electronics, the Aura 20 has been greatly simplified over its predicates by the use of microprocessor technology and modular medical-grade nower supply.
- 프 The Aura 20 uses membrane keypads instead of potentiometers (knobs) as adjustable controls for tonal volume and power level settings.

Performance safety has been tested in accordance with, and found to comply with, the requirements of the applicable sections of the following standards;

- ANSI/AAMI/IEC 60601-1-2 (2001), Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1; General ■ Requirements for the Safety.
- 트 IEC 60601-2-2 (1998), Medical Electrical Equipment Part 2; particular Requirements for the safety of High Frequency Surgical Equipment.
- ANSI/AAMI HF 18 (2001), American National Standard for Electrosurgical Devices l

Therefore, the Aura 20 is substantially equivalent in intended use, technological safety and effectiveness, and performance to both the;

- 26-1500, Kirwan 20 Watt Bipolar Micro Coagulator, and
- 28-1000, Kirwan 50 Watt Bipolar Generator. ■

Dear Mr. Prario:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls.
