## Indications for Use

The OLSEN Medical Electrosurgical Monopolar and Bipolar Forceps are intended to be used as active electrosurgical devices where monopolar or bipolar electrosurgical cutting and coagulation is desired during surgery and are intended to grasp, manipulate cut or coagulate selected soft tissue.

## Device Story

Olsen Medical Bipolar and Monopolar Forceps are active electrosurgical instruments used to grasp, manipulate, cut, or coagulate soft tissue. The devices consist of stainless steel forceps connected to an electrosurgical generator via a compatible cable. Bipolar forceps operate at a maximum of 500 volts; monopolar forceps operate at a maximum of 2000 volts. Available as single-use (disposable) or multiple-use (reusable) versions. Operated by surgeons in a surgical environment. The device delivers electrical current through the tips to achieve the desired electrosurgical effect. Benefits include precise tissue management and hemostasis during surgical procedures.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Compliance with IEC 60601-2-2 (Safety of High Frequency Surgical Equipment), ANSI/AAMI HF18-1993 (Electrosurgical Devices), ISO 10993-5 (In vitro cytotoxicity), and ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137-2:2006 (Sterilization).

## Technological Characteristics

Stainless steel electrosurgical forceps. Bipolar (max 500V) and monopolar (max 2000V) configurations. Hand-held form factor. Connects to external electrosurgical generator via active cable. Sterilized via radiation (ISO 11137-2). Complies with IEC 60601-2-2 and ANSI/AAMI HF18-1993.

## 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.

#### Monopolar Forceps:

Boston Surgical Products Reusable Monopolar Forceps, K950877, cleared March 9, 1995

#### Device Description:

OLSEN Medical® Electrosurgical Monopolar and Bipolar Forceps have been designed as active electrosurgical instruments to grasp, manipulate, cut or coagulate selected soft tissue. These stainless steel forceps are connected through a suitable active electrosurgical cable (bipolar or monopolar) to the specified output terminal of an electrosurgical generator. The bipolar forceps are intended for use with a maximum voltage of 500 volts while the monopolar forceps have a maximum voltage of 2000 volts. The forceps are offered either as single (disposable) or multiple-use (reuseable).

#### Intended Use:

The OLSEN Medical Electrosurgical Monopolar and Bipolar Forceps are intended to be used as active electrosurgical devices where monopolar or bipolar electrosurgical cutting and coagulation is desired during surgery and are intended to grasp, manipulate cut or coagulate selected soft tissue.

## Comparison to Predicate Device:

The proposed Olsen Bipolar and Monopolar Forceps is similar in design as its predicates. The Olsen Forceps are sterilized using equivalent materials and processes as its predicates. The subject devices also have the same intended use and performance characteristics as their predicates. No new technological characteristics were introduced and as such, the proposed forceps do not raise new types of safety and effectiveness issues as compared to the predicates.

## Testing and Technological Characteristics:

The Olsen Medical Bipolar and Monopolar Forceps are active electrosurgical devices that provide an electrical current that is fired through the tips of the forceps. The devices are hand-held and provided sterile for the single use forceps and non-sterile for the multiple use forceps. The forceps connect to a corresponding power cord (bipolar or monopolar).
