Device Story

Surgitron Model IEC is an electrosurgical device used by clinicians for cutting, coagulation, and hemostasis. It utilizes high-frequency electrical energy to perform tissue incisions, biopsies, and lesion removals. Modes include cutting, blended cutting/coagulation, hemostasis, fulguration, and bipolar coagulation for precise pinpoint hemostasis in wet or dry fields. Operated by physicians in clinical settings, the device provides surgical control over bleeding and tissue destruction. It benefits patients by enabling minimally invasive surgical access and precise tissue management during dermatological, oculoplastic, and arthroscopic procedures.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on the device's status as a pre-amendment device.

Technological Characteristics

Electrosurgical generator providing high-frequency energy for cutting and coagulation. Supports monopolar and bipolar modalities. Class II device.

Indications for Use

Indicated for surgical procedures requiring cutting, blended cutting/coagulation, hemostasis, fulguration, and bipolar coagulation. Applicable to dermatological, cosmetic, oculoplastic, and arthroscopic procedures including biopsy, excision of lesions (cysts, tumors, carcinomas), and tissue repair.

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.
