Dean@katalystsurgical.com Date Prepared: October 5, 2012 Kogent Bipolar Forceps Device Trade Name: Bipolar Forceps Common Name: 21 CFR 878.4400; Electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device Classification: and accessories II Class: Product Code: GEI #### Indications for Use: The Kogent Disposable Bipolar Forceps are a single use product sold sterile and are intended for use in electrosurgery for coagulation of tissue. The Kogent Disposable Irrigating Bipolar Forceps are a single use product sold sterile and are intended for use in electrosurgery for coagulation and irrigation of tissue. #### Device Description: This device is a disposable bipolar forceps, designed for single use in electrosurgical procedures. They require connection with a suitable bipolar cable to the bipolar output of an electrosurgical generator. These forceps are designed to grasp, manipulate, coagulate, and irrigate, when applicable, selected tissues. The irrigation tube is designed to carry fluid to the tips of the instrument. Coagulation is achieved using electrosurgical energy generated by the electrosurgical generator and activated by a footswitch. The devices are provided sterile by ethylene oxide and in sterile packs. p. 1/3 {1}------------------------------------------------ #### Predicate Device: The Kogent Bipolar Forceps was shown to be substantially equivalent to the previously cleared devices: Synergetics Disposable Spetzler-Malis Bipolar forceps K121426 and Synergetics 11: Disposable Spetzler Malis Dual Irrigating Bipolar Forceps K 10924. ### Performance Testing Summary: The Kogent Bipolar Forceps performance testing is summarized below. | Test Criteria | Description | Lower Spec | Upper Spec | Units | Standard
