Intended Use
The Modified PowerCut® Gold Surgical System is designed for use in arthroscopic surgical procedures where intra-articular tissue resection, shaving, and/or abrading the knee or shoulder joint is required. The system is used in conjunction with direct arthroscopic camera visualization utilizing a separate port of entry (incision site).
Device Story
Reusable, AC-powered surgical system for arthroscopic procedures; used for intra-articular tissue resection, shaving, and abrading in knee or shoulder joints. Operates in conjunction with direct arthroscopic camera visualization via separate incision. System provides mechanical power to separately available blades and drills. Used by surgeons in clinical/OR settings. Output is mechanical rotation/torque for tissue manipulation; assists surgeon in precise tissue removal, potentially reducing procedure time and improving surgical outcomes.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing included 100% inspection of torque measurements at various RPMs against design requirements. Electrical safety and thermal protection verified per UL-544 and IEC 601. Biocompatibility supported by established history of medical-grade stainless steel and aluminum materials.
Technological Characteristics
AC-powered reusable surgical handpiece. Materials: medical-grade stainless steel and aluminum. Standards: UL-544, IEC 601 for electrical/thermal safety. Mechanical actuation for blades/drills. No software or electronic control algorithms described.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing arthroscopic surgical procedures of the knee or shoulder joint requiring intra-articular tissue resection, shaving, or abrading.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Surgical instrument motors and accessories are AC-powered, battery-powered, or air-powered devices intended for use during surgical procedures to provide power to operate various accessories or attachments to cut hard tissue or bone and soft tissue. Accessories or attachments may include a bur, chisel (osteotome), dermabrasion brush, dermatome, drill bit, hammerhead, pin driver, and saw blade.
