The device consists of a stainless steel guidance rod, an insulated tube, and a stainless steel electrode tip (insulated with ceramic or polyamide). It connects to a handle via click-screw, Luer, or M8x1 connector. The device features a retractable/extendable tip mechanism; the electrode can be retracted into the tube to allow for suction/irrigation, then extended for monopolar coagulation or surgical intervention. Operated by a surgeon in an OR setting, the device allows for multi-functional use (suction, irrigation, and coagulation) within a single instrument, reducing the need for multiple tools. The device is supplied non-sterile and requires sterilization before use. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on design, material, and technological comparison to predicate devices. Bench testing was performed to validate the retraction/extension mechanism and sterilization cycles. ## Technological Characteristics Modular monopolar electrosurgical instrument. Materials: stainless steel rod/tip, ceramic or polyamide insulation. Connectivity: M8x1, Luer, or click-screw connectors. Energy: Monopolar electrosurgical energy. Form factor: Retractable/extendable tip with integrated suction/irrigation channel. Sterilization: Reusable, requires sterilization (validated for up to five cycles). ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - Pajunks monopolar Ceramic Tip electrodes ([K053282](/device/K053282.md)) - Pajunks Modular valve handles for adaptable tubes ([K011997](/device/K011997.md)) - Pajunks monopolar electrodes ([K033249](/device/K033249.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The Pajunk adaptable and retractable HF electrodes are multiple uses, non-sterile delivered and latex free medical devices. They are intended for transient delivery of energy required for coaqulation of tissue. The modular system for optional monopolar coagulation enables a surgeon to manipulate, The mound by commer of of on coagulate internal tissue or organs while performing laparoscopic procedures. The instruments are insulated for optional monopolar coagulation. The Pajunk MIS-System contains but is not limited to HF-electrodes for comfortable and safe rne i ajain with and without suction/ irrigation and microsurgical instruments with and without suction/irrigation. Pajunk provides electrodes with and without suction and irrigation element and electrodes with r ajurik provides ticonooo with retractable/ extendable tips. Tubes for suction/irrigation are available seperately also. Pajunks electrodes consist of a stainless steel guidance rod, insulated tube, ceramic or polyamide insulation at tip and stainless steel electrode tip for coagulation. Isolation at tip is made by ceramic or poly amid and already cleared for market. The electrodes are fixed to handle via click-screw, Luer or Pajunks M8x1 connector. Pajunks electrode and instrument series are modular and interchangeable as stated in the user instructions. Disposable inserts are also available. #### Substantial equivalenve: basis for submission The subject of Pajunks K011997 are Pajunks multipurpose handles (Modular valve handles) already designed for use with the HF Electrodes subject of this submission. In K033249 FDA cleared HF Electrodes and instruments for either coagulation, grasping and so on or suction/irriragtion (channel only). The subject of this PMN is the combination of both: HF Electrodes within a suction/irrigation channel and optional retraction-extension. There are no changes in material or technique in fact; the subject of this PMN is a rners are no onarges in the predicates. Pajunks HF electrodes subject of this PMN optionally are for suction/irrigation and coagulation at the same time with the same electrode enabled by retraction-extension feature. The electrode can be drawn back into the tube – re-tracted – for suction/irrigation procedures. Afterwards it can be comfortably extended to go on coagulating (or whatever the surgical intervention is intended to). The combination of this two cleared technologies does increase safety and comfortability of the rne odminitiation it it is weriod the surgical intervention takes place. Insttead of employing two different instrument or an instrument inside a working channel The retractable electrode combine both, suction/irrigation and surgical intervention. {2}------------------------------------------------ bzw4) Page 3 of 4 Pajunk's adaptable and retractable HF electrodes are substantially equivalent to Pajunk's r guilk o additional and rotratia under 510(k) number K033249. All materials, dimensions, fixation specifications and intended use are identical. A retraction/extension feature has been added. Pajunk's monopolar adaptable and retractable HF electrodes are equivalent in design, physical dimensions, metal and plastics materials, to Pajunks monopolar ceramic/ polyamid tip electrodes marketed under 510(k) number K053282, K033249 and are intended to be used with Pajunks Modular Valve handle system with different interchangeble fixation methods (click-screw, Luer, M8x1) cleared for market under K011997. #### Technological Equivalence | | Predicate device | Subject device | Predicate device | |-------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------| | | K033249, K053282 | K062047 | K011997 | | Shape of electrode tip
