Device Story

Surgi-Max is a compact electrosurgical generator providing high radio-frequency (RF) energy for soft tissue surgery. Device accepts user input via front-panel push buttons to select waveforms and power levels; output activated by foot or hand switches. Generator produces 4.0 MHz (monopolar) or 1.7 MHz (bipolar) RF energy; waveforms include continuous wave (CW) for cutting, and modulated envelopes for cutting/coagulation and hemostasis. Digital displays provide status feedback and self-test monitoring; interlocks prevent operation during fault states. Used in clinical settings by physicians for procedures including orthopedic, spinal, and ENT surgeries. Output energy facilitates tissue resection, ablation, and hemostasis, aiding surgical precision and bleeding control.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Device complies with IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-2 safety standards.

Technological Characteristics

Electrosurgical generator; 4.0 MHz (monopolar) and 1.7 MHz (bipolar) output frequency; 120W max power; dimensions 9"x5"x13"; weight 18 lbs. Features digital display, self-test monitoring, and interlock controls. Complies with IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-2.

Indications for Use

Indicated for soft tissue resection, ablation, and coagulation, and hemostasis in orthopedic, arthroscopic, spinal, and neurological procedures, as well as various ENT, dermatological, and cosmetic surgical applications.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

#### Description of the Device

The Surgi-Max Electrosurgery Generator is a compact source of high radio-frequency RF energy to be employed for a variety of radiosurgery procedures. This action is actieved by front panel selection of waveforms and power level. All selection is effected through push buttons and lamps, which give the operator feedback of status.

Power level for each mode is indicated by front panel digital displays, which also show the status of self-test and monitoring. The display is interlocked with controls to prevent operation when FAILS is displayed. The final output power control is made through foot and/or hand switches. Both Monopolar and Bipolar electrodes are offered.

The power output in the CW (Cut) mode is 120 watts into (500 ohms) a matched load. The output frequency is maintained at 4.0 MHz +/- 400Hz over all service and loading conditions includingshort and open for monopolar mode.

Three output waveforms are provided:

CW CUT -- Continuous wave output with average power equal to the maximum with no deliberate modulation.

CUT / COAG – Deeply modulated envelope with average to peak power ratio approximately 50%. Modulation occurring at 120 or 100 Hz rate.

HEMO - Deeply modulated wave with average to peak ratio approximately 50%. Modulation occurring at 120 or 100 Hz rate of square wave.

| Mode | Output Waveform | Max Output Power | Activation |
|---------------|----------------------------------------------|------------------|-----------------------------------|
| CUT | 4.0 MHz CW sinusoid | 120W @ 500 Ohms | Via footswitch or<br>fingerswitch |
| CUT / COAG | 4.0 MHz w/ rectified full<br>wave envelope | 90W @ 500 Ohms | Via footswitch or<br>fingerswitch |
| HEMO | 4.0 MHz w/ square wave<br>rectified envelope | 60W @ 500 Ohms | Via footswitch or<br>fingerswitch |
| BIPOLAR HEMO | 1.7 MHz w/ square wave<br>rectified envelope | 40W @ 200 Ohms | Via footswitch |
| BIPOLAR TURBO | 1.7 MHz w/ modulated<br>envelope | 120W @ 200 Ohms | Via footswitch |
