Intended Use
The HF-Resection Electrodes are a bipolar instrument series designed and intended for use in endoscopic urological surgical procedures involving the resection, ablation or removal of soft tissue and where hemostasis is required. The specific urological indications include use in the prostate, bladder and bladder neck. The procedures for which the devices can be used are transurethral resection in saline (TURis), transurethral prostatectomy, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia, transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP) or bladder neck, transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) and cystodiathermy. These devices are intended to be used in an irrigated environment. These devices are not intended to be used to treating cancer of the prostate. The HF-Resection Electrode for Plasma Vaporization is a bipolar instrument designed and intended for use in urological surgical procedures involving the vaporization, ablation, coagulation, cutting, removal of soft tissue and coagulation where hemostasis is required. The specific soft tissue indications include use in the prostate, bladder and bladder neck. The specific treatment indications include benign prostate hyperplasia BPH, bladder cancer, tumors, lesions and neoplasms. The specific urological indications include transurethral electrovaporization (TUVP, TVP, TUEVP), also known as transurethral vapor resection of the prostate (TUVRP) or transurethral vaporization in saline (TUVis). These devices are intended to be used in an irrigated environment. These devices are not intended to be used in treating cancer of the prostate.
Device Story
Bipolar electrosurgical instrument series; includes active tips (loops, bands, rollers, needles, buttons), insulator, guiding tube, telescope clip, and shaft. Used in endoscopic urological procedures (TURP, TURBT, TUVP) in irrigated environments. Connects to electrosurgical generator (ESG-400) via specialized bipolar cable (WA00014A) to deliver high-frequency energy for tissue resection, vaporization, and hemostasis. Operated by urologists in clinical/surgical settings. Output is thermal energy for tissue modification; enables precise tissue removal while maintaining hemostasis. Benefits include reduced bleeding and efficient tissue management during urological surgeries.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical tests were performed or referenced. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing and design verification.

#### 4. Device Description:
The HF-Resection Electrodes and HF Resection Button Electrode for Plasma Vaporization consist of an active tip, PTFE color code identification, an insulator between the electrode and electrode tube, a guiding tube, telescope clip and arm (shaft).
The design and dimensions of the electrodes vary to accommodate various procedural conditions. The active tips of the various electrodes may consist of loops, bands, rollers, needles or buttons.
The system includes Electrodes, working elements, and an HF bipolar cable that can be connected to an electrical surgical unit.
HF Resection Electrodes (K100275) can now be used with the newly compatible electrosurgical generator, the ESG-400 (K103032). For the HF Resection Electrodes to be used with the ESG-400, an additional HF cable is needed (WA00014A). The WA00014A bipolar reusable cable is an electrosurgical accessory designed to transfer electrosurgical power to electrosurgical working elements from the electrosurgical generator ESG-400 (K103032). The cable is designed to connect the working elements WA22366A and WA22367A (K100275).
#### 5. Indications for Use:
The HF-Resection Electrodes are a bipolar instrument series designed and intended for use in endoscopic urological surgical procedures involving the resection, ablation or removal of soft tissue and where hemostasis is required. The specific urological indications include use in the prostate, bladder and bladder neck. The procedures for which the devices can be used are transurethral resection in saline (TURis), transurethral prostatectomy, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia, transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP) or bladder neck, transurethral resection of bladder turnors (TURBT) and cystodiathermy. These devices are intended to be used in an irrigated environment. These devices are not intended to be used to treating cancer of the prostate.

These devices are intended to be used in an irrigated environment. These devices are not intended to be used in treating cancer of the prostate.
#### 6. Comparison of Technological Characteristics:
The HF Resection Electrodes and the HF Resection Button Electrode for Plasma vaporization are identical to the predicate devices in intended use, design and material specification. The only difference is the new cable (WA00014A) that now allows for the electrodes and working elements to be connected to the ESG-400 (K103032).
The cable is equivalent to WA00013A that allows for the electrodes and working elements to be connected to the UES-40 (K030194 and K100275). The only difference is with the plug.
### 7. Summary of Non-Clinical Performance Testing:
Design verification was performed to ensure the device functions according to its intended use and the results met their acceptance criteria.
Bench Testing according to the FDA-recognized consensus standards IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-2 was conducted to demonstrate that the design change does not raise any new concerns regarding electrical safety.
Risk analysis was carried out in accordance with established in-house acceptance criteria based on ISO 14971:2007.
#### 8. Summary of Clinical Tests Submitted or Referenced:
No clinical tests were performed or referenced in support of this Special 510(k).
#### 9. Conclusion:
Olympus Winter & Ibe GmbH believes that the HF Electrosurgical Resection and Vaporization Electrode Series is substantially equivalent to the currently legally marketed devices. It does not introduce new indications for use, has the same technological characteristics and does not introduce new potential hazards or safety risks.
