Device comprises a handle, laparoscopic shaft, introducer, and an array of seven parallel electrodes (six in a ring, one central). Device connects to an RF generator via a switch unit. During surgery, electrodes are inserted into tissue; RF power is applied to coagulate the target area. Central electrode provides aspiration to remove fluids and gases from the coagulation zone. Introducer allows passage through standard 12mm laparoscopic ports. Device is single-use. Physician operates device during laparoscopic procedures to achieve hemostasis or tissue coagulation, potentially reducing intraoperative bleeding and improving surgical outcomes. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. ## Technological Characteristics Bipolar RF electrosurgical device. Seven-electrode array (6 outer, 1 central) deploying to 20mm diameter. Includes laparoscopic shaft, handle, and introducer for 12mm port compatibility. Features integrated aspiration through the central electrode. Single-use. Energy source: external RF generator. ## 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 - Habib Hexablate ([K071103](/device/K071103.md)) - Habib 4X Laparoscopic ([K062935](/device/K062935.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Habib 4X Laparoscopic (K062935) RITA Medical | | Intended Use: The Habib Hexablate is intended to be used to assist in coagulation of tissue during laparoscopic intraoperative surgical procedures. # Description: The Habib Laparoscopic Hexablate is a bipolar radiofrequency (RF) device that consists of a handle, laparoscopic shaft and introducer and an array of seven parallel electrodes which extend out from the laparoscopic shaft. The electrode configuration consists of six electrodes in a ring and one electrode in the center of the ring. The Habib Laparoscopic Hexablate has an attached cable which connects the device to the Habib Hexablate Switch Unit and then to an RF Generator. The electrodes are inserted into tissue is coagulated using RF power. The Habib Laparoscopic Hexablate is designed for use in laparoscopic surgery and is a single use device. {1}------------------------------------------------ Page 2 of 2 #### Technological Differences: The Habib Laparoscopic Hexablate has the same basic technological characteristics as the Habib Hexablate (K071103). Both devices use bipolar RF energy through a number of electrodes to create a volume of coagulated tissue. The primary difference is that the Habib Laparoscopic Hexablate is used via a laparoscopic port. The size and shape of the coagulation zone created by each device is similar. Both devices uses aspiration through the center electrode to remove fluids and gases from the center of the coagulation zone. The Laparoscopic Hexablate is fitted with an introducer which allows the electrodes to pass through a standard Ø12mm laparoscopic port without damaging the seals. The Habib 4X Laparoscopic (K062935) has the same basic technological characteristics as the Habib Laparoscopic Hexablate. Both devices use bipolar RF energy through a number of electrodes to create a volume of coagulated tissue during laparoscopic procedures. The primary difference is that the Habib 4X Laparoscopic and the Habib Laparoscopic Hexablate is the number of electrodes. The Habib 4X Laparoscopic has 4 electrodes on a fixed 10mm diameter, whilst the Habib Laparoscopic has 7 electrodes (six outer array and 1 centre) which deploy upon exit of the introducer port to 20mm diameter. ## Performance Data: Performance testing was done to ensure that the Habib Laparoscope Hexablate functions as intended and meets design specifications. Sufficient data was obtained to show that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, and meets safety and effectiveness criteria. {2}------------------------------------------------ DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
