Dear Helen Xie:
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 (the 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 available 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.

| Device Description Summary | | 21 CFR 807.92(a)(4) |
| The subject device of this submission is the Ascblue 8010 Electrosurgical Generator. Medrange M88010 and Surnic 8010 are commercial branding names under which the same device platform may be marketed. All testing, validation, and documentation provided in this submission apply to the Ascblue 8010 device platform. The Electrosurgical Generator 8010 is indicated for use in general electrosurgical procedures for monopolar cutting, monopolar coagulation, and bipolar coagulation of tissue. It is intended to be used with monopolar handpieces and dispersive electrodes, or with bipolar handpieces and footswitches. Electrosurgery is the application of high-frequency (radio-frequency, RF) alternating current to biological tissue in order to cut, coagulate, desiccate, or fulgurate tissue. The RF current produces heating of the tissue through intracellular oscillation of ionized molecules, which leads to an elevation of intracellular temperature. The benefits of electrosurgery include the ability to perform precise surgical cutting with effective hemostasis and limited blood loss. Electrosurgical devices are widely used in both inpatient operating rooms and outpatient surgical procedures to facilitate tissue | | |

dissection and minimize intraoperative bleeding.
The device is an advanced microprocessor-controlled electrosurgical generator providing: 4 Monopolar cutting modes / 4 Monopolar coagulation modes / 4 Bipolar modes, and Return Safety Monitor (RSM) for dispersive electrode quality check.
The device includes an internal USB port that is physically present on the hardware.
This USB port is intended solely for manufacturing, service, and testing purposes.
The port is sealed prior to distribution and is not user-accessible, not visible, and not intended for clinical use in the marketed configuration.
The device does not support user-accessible data transfer, networking, or external communication functions.
## Intended Use/Indications for Use
21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
The Electrosurgical Generator 8010 is indicated for cutting and coagulation of tissue in general surgery procedures via monopolar and bipolar modes. It is intended for use with monopolar handpieces and dispersive electrodes, or with bipolar handpieces and footswitches.
## Indications for Use Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
Indications for Use
The indications for use of the subject device (8010) are the same as those of the predicate device (8070). Both devices are intended for monopolar and bipolar electrosurgery for cutting and coagulation. Differences in descriptive wording do not constitute a new intended use.
Technological Characteristics
The 8010 and the predicate 8070 share the same principle of operation, energy source, and functional modes (monopolar cut, monopolar coagulation, and bipolar). Differences in maximum output power, voltage, crest factor, and operating frequency are within acceptable ranges defined by IEC 60601-2-2 and do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
Conclusion
Based on the comparison, the 8010 is substantially equivalent to the predicate device 8070 in intended use and technological characteristics.
## Technological Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)
The subject device 8010 and the predicate device 8070 share the same intended use: monopolar and bipolar electrosurgery for cutting and coagulation. Both devices use the same energy source and employ similar operating modes (monopolar cut, monopolar coagulation, and bipolar).
The technological characteristics are comparable. The maximum output powers (e.g., 300 W vs. 320 W for monopolar cut, 120 W vs. 100 W for monopolar coagulation, and 90 W vs. 240 W for bipolar) fall within the normal performance range of electrosurgical generators. Differences in output voltage, crest factor, and operating frequency remain within the IEC 60601-2-2 standard and do not introduce new risks.
Other features, including waveforms (sinusoidal constant/modulated), controls (hand and foot), and power supply, are the same. Both devices have nearly identical dimensions and weight, and differences in display type (LED vs. LCD) do not affect functionality.
Conclusion: The 8010 has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as the 8070. The observed differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
## Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions
21 CFR 807.92(b)
Bench testing was performed to evaluate the safety and performance of the 8010 Electrosurgical Generator in accordance with FDA's "Electrosurgical Devices for General Surgery" Guidance (March 9, 2020). Testing included:
- ESU Output Performance: Waveform analysis and power output curves across 100–2000 Ω loads for all monopolar and bipolar modes, compared with predicate device.
- Mechanical and Electrical Safety of Accessories: Mechanical strength, insulation integrity, and durability testing of active electrodes and handpieces; functional and durability testing of the footswitch.
- Neutral Electrode Testing: Thermal performance, contact impedance, and adhesion testing per IEC 60601-2-2.
- System-Level Testing: Ex vivo tissue studies measuring thermal spread and coagulation effects; verification of contact quality monitoring (CQM) and safety features.
Bench testing demonstrated that the 8010 Electrosurgical Generator is as safe and effective as the predicate electrosurgical generators. The device performed as intended, meeting all applicable requirements for output accuracy, safety, and EMC, with no unexpected risks identified, and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, in accordance with FDA's "Electrosurgical Devices for General Surgery"
