Monopolar output: 0-150 watts (cut, blend 2, coagulation modes); Bipolar output: 0-50 watts. Both generators are independently controlled and RF isolated. System powered by independent low voltage (7 Vdc) isolated power supplies. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals for electrosurgical procedures on soft tissue. Audio and visual monitors provide feedback in accordance with IEC 601-1-2 and ANSI HF-18 guidelines. Device provides RF energy to handpieces to facilitate cutting and coagulation of soft tissue. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on bench testing and compliance with safety standards (IEC 601-1-2 and ANSI HF-18) for electrical safety and leakage currents. ## Technological Characteristics Solid-state RF electrosurgery generator; isolated output architecture; monopolar (0-150W) and bipolar (0-50W) channels; 7 Vdc isolated power supplies; audio/visual monitoring systems; compliant with IEC 601-1-2 and ANSI HF-18 standards. ## 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 - Bergen Model 710 ([K945861](/device/K945861.md)) - Bergen Model 610 ([K964736](/device/K964736.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

An isolated output monopolar electrosurgery generator with independent bipolar electrosurgery generator. The monopolar generator has continuously adjustable 0-150 watts in three cut modes of cut, blend 2 and two coagulation modes 0-75 watts. The bipolar generator is continuously adjustable 0-50. Outputs of both generators are independently controlled and RF isolated from each other. The monopolar electrosurgery generator is similar to the Bergen Model 710 K94586 I but without displays and calibrated to higher power levels. The bipolar generator is similar to the Bergen Model 610 K964736 but without digital power setting display and current monitor. Each generator handswitch system is powered by independent low voltage (7 Vdc) isolated power supplies. Audio and Visual monitors are in accord with IEC 601-1-2 and ANSI HF-18 guidelines. Date RF and Low Frequency leakages are well within IEC 601-1-2 and ANSI HF-18 safety guide lines for isolated (body floating) bipolar coagulators. This device is similar to existing approved devices each as independent generators and in combination.
