Intended Use
The Codman Electrosurgical Irrigator is indicated to provide flow of irrigation fluid to the tips of bipolar irrigating forceps during electrosurgery.
Device Story
Reusable electrosurgical irrigator; delivers irrigation fluid to bipolar irrigating forceps tips during electrosurgery. System includes electrosurgical generator, interconnecting cable, and forceps with cord/tubing set. Operates via peristaltic pump; controlled by single irrigation knob; features LED display and pause button. Used in clinical settings by surgeons/nurses. Provides controlled fluid flow (slow drip to constant stream) to maintain surgical site visibility and tissue hydration; prevents tissue adhesion to forceps tips. Enhances surgical precision and safety during coagulation/cutting procedures.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, including design verification, flow accuracy testing, summative study, and nurse/surgeon design validation studies. Software verification and electrical safety/EMC testing (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2) also performed.
Technological Characteristics
Reusable, non-sterile capital equipment. Peristaltic pump mechanism. Powered by 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Features LED display, single irrigation knob, and pause button. Complies with IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 standards. Software classified as Moderate Level of Concern.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing electrosurgery requiring irrigation fluid delivery to the tips of bipolar irrigating forceps.
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.

Dear Ms. Siu:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part
{1}------------------------------------------------
801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/CombinationProducts/GuidanceRegulatoryInformation/ucm597488.htm); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm.
For comprehensive regulatory information about medical devices and radiation-emitting products, including information about labeling regulations, please see Device Advice (https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/) and CDRH Learn (http://www.fda.gov/Training/CDRHLearn).
