Intended Use

The Aaron 1200 is intended to be used for all low powered electrosurgical procedures including cut, blend, coagulation, fulguration and bipolar procedures. The Aaron 1200 High Frequency Electrosurgical Generator is intended for the removal and destruction of human tissue and the coagulation of bleeders.

Device Story

The Aaron 1200 is a reusable, non-sterile high-frequency electrosurgical generator. It generates high-frequency, high-voltage, low-amperage RF current. The device is operated by clinicians in a clinical setting to perform tissue removal, destruction, and coagulation. An integral hand-control pencil is used to deliver the energy to the target tissue. The device provides multiple operational modes: cut, blend, coagulation, bipolar, and fulguration. By applying RF energy, the device enables precise tissue cutting and hemostasis, assisting surgeons in managing bleeding and tissue excision during surgical procedures.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Hazard analysis evaluations were performed to compare the device against predicates, indicating no new hazards.

Technological Characteristics

High-frequency electrosurgical generator; RF energy source; reusable, non-sterile; includes hand-control pencil; modes: cut, blend, coagulation, bipolar, fulguration.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring low-powered electrosurgical procedures, including tissue removal, destruction, and coagulation of bleeders via cut, blend, coagulation, fulguration, or bipolar modes.

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.

## 510(k) SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS SUMMARY

Aaron 1200 High Frequency Electrosurgical Generator and Accessories TRADE NAME: Electrosurgical Generator COMMON NAME: CLASSIFICATION NAME: Electrosurgical Cutting and Coagulation Devices and Accessories (21CFR 878:4400)

The Aaron 1200 High Frequency Electrosurgical Generator is a non-serile, reusable electrosurgical generator which is designed to generate high frequencies (RF) of high voltage and low amperage current.

The Aaron 1200 High Frequency Electrosurgical Generator is intended for the removal and destruction of human tissue and the coagulation of bleeders. Modes of operation for this device include: cut, blend, coagulation, bipolar and fulguration. The Handcontrol pencil is an integral component which is used in conjunction with the Aaron 1200.

The Aaron 1200 High Frequency Electrosurgical Generator is substantially equivalent to the Aaron 800 High Frequency Desiccator (K955681) and ValleyLab SSE4 Electrosurgical Generator (K823924) in design, operation, intended use, materials, energy source, components, method of preparation and performance claims.

Testing which has been performed on the Aaron 1200 High Frequency Electrosurgical Generator indicates that the devices are substantially equivalent in their performance and method of operation.

Hazard analysis evaluations were performed on the Aaron 1200 High Frequency Electrosurgical Generator. Test results indicated that there are no new hazards presented with the use of the Aaron 1200 High Frequency Electrosurgical Generator as compared with the predicate devices.

In conclusion, the Aaron 1200 High Frequency Electrosurgical Generator is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, the Aaron 800 High Frequency Desiccator and the ValleyLab SSE4 Electrosurgical Generator in methods of operation, intended use and results derived from operation.
