Device Story

G3 Generator is an electrosurgical unit providing monopolar and bipolar RF energy for soft tissue surgery. System components: dual-output generator, monopolar electrodes (TCRF), bipolar PlasmaCision electrodes, connector cables, return pad, and footswitch. Dissector Plasma Knife is a single-use bipolar instrument for resection/coagulation in ambient air; integrates suction for fluid/gas removal. Operated by surgeons in OR settings via foot pedal. Generator provides real-time readouts for energy, impedance, temperature, and power. Surgeon uses visual feedback from generator display to adjust settings. Device facilitates precise tissue management, reducing bleeding and improving surgical outcomes in head/neck procedures.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on design identity to the predicate device.

Technological Characteristics

Electrosurgical generator with dual monopolar/bipolar outputs. Features include temperature monitoring, impedance sensing, and energy delivery readouts. Bipolar PlasmaCision instrument is a single-use disposable device with integrated suction. System operated via footswitch. Class II device under 21 CFR 878.4400.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing otorhinolaryngology (head and neck) surgery requiring soft tissue ablation, resection, coagulation, or hemostasis. Includes procedures such as tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, neck dissection, and treatment of snoring/nasal obstruction. Prescription use only.
