• Decision: SESE
• Submission Type: Traditional
• Regulation: 21 CFR 878.4400
• Device Class: Class 2
• Attributes: Therapeutic

Intended Use

To connect monopolar/bipolar electrosurgical instruments to an electrosurgical generator.

Device Story

Monopolar and Bipolar Cautery Cords function as accessories for electrosurgical instruments (e.g., scissors, forceps, dissectors). The device consists of insulated cords with an instrument-mating connector on one end and a generator-mating connector on the other. It serves as a physical conduit for transmitting high-frequency electrical current from an electrosurgical generator to the active surgical instrument. Used in surgical settings by clinicians to facilitate electrosurgical cutting and coagulation.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only, including dimensional measurements, mechanical and functional verification, electrical safety, and simulated surgical procedures.

Technological Characteristics

Insulated electrical cords with instrument-mating and generator-mating connectors. Designed for transmission of high-frequency current. Passive accessory device.

Indications for Use

Indicated for connecting monopolar/bipolar electrosurgical instruments to an electrosurgical generator to provide transmission of high frequency current from the electrosurgical generator to the surgical instrument.

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.
