Intended Use

The monopolar electrosurgical pencil with electrode is used to deliver high frequency current to target issue for cutting and coagulation

Device Story

Monopolar electrosurgical pencil; consists of plastic handle, electrical cable, plug, and interchangeable electrode tip (blade, ball, or needle). Device connects to high-frequency electrosurgical generator; used with patient grounding pad. Operator (physician) uses push-button, rocker switch, or foot switch to select 'CUT' or 'COAG' modes. High-frequency electrical current travels through conductive post and electrode tip to target tissue. Used in clinical settings for soft tissue management. Benefits include precise tissue cutting and coagulation during surgery.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance evaluated using porcine tissue (kidney, liver, muscle) in both Cut and Coagulation modes per FDA guidance. Thermal effects and thermal zone sizes compared to predicate, showing equivalent performance. Safety testing included dielectric strength, electromagnetic compatibility, and biocompatibility per international standards (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-2, IEC 60601-1-2, ISO 10993). Packaging integrity and accelerated aging tests validated 3-year shelf life.

Technological Characteristics

Monopolar electrosurgical pencil; ABS plastic housing, PVC cable. Electrode: stainless steel, 2.36mm diameter, insulated with polyolefin/PTFE shrink wrap or ABS/HIPS overmold. Tip configurations: blade, needle, ball (coated/non-coated). Energy: high-frequency electrical current (4kVp/5kVp). Sterilization: EO (ISO 11135). Connectivity: wired to electrosurgical generator. Standards: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-2, IEC 60601-1-2, ISO 10993.
