Intended Use
The DeRoyal Grounding Pad Adapter is indicated for use whenever the ESU machine requires a grounding pad of the type provided by SurgiMate, or the connector on the SurgiMate pad does not match the intended jack of the ESU machine but its use would make the electrical connection compatible.
Device Story
Device acts as passive electrical interface adapter; connects electrosurgical grounding pad to electrosurgical unit (ESU) jack. Input: proprietary grounding pad connector; Output: target machine connector. Operation: direct wiring conversion; no circuit alteration; no performance impact on original circuit. Used in clinical settings (OR/procedure rooms) by surgical staff. Facilitates electrical compatibility between mismatched hardware components; ensures grounding circuit continuity for patient safety during electrosurgery.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only; no clinical data provided. Equivalence established through design comparison and functional similarity to legally marketed devices.
Technological Characteristics
Passive electrical adapter; direct wiring configuration; non-sterile; proprietary input connector; target machine output connector. No active components or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring electrosurgical procedures where grounding pad connector compatibility between the electrosurgical unit (ESU) and the grounding pad is needed.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
