Intended Use
Ceramic tip electrodes are used during minimal invasive surgery, according to the professional surgeon and the instructions for use. Ceramic tip electrodes are instruments insulated for optional monopolar coagulation which enable a surgeon to grasp, manipulate, dissect, retrieve, biopsy, cut or coagulate internal tissue or organs while performing laparoscopic procedures.
Device Story
Device consists of medical grade steel tube, stainless steel electrode tip, and ceramic tip insulation. Used during minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery; operated by surgeons. Device delivers high-frequency (HF) energy for tissue coagulation; some models include suction and irrigation capabilities with retractable/extendable tips. Ceramic tip provides electrical insulation at the distal end. Surgeon manipulates device to perform dissection, biopsy, or coagulation. Benefits include safe, comfortable tissue coagulation and integrated suction/irrigation functionality. Fixed ceramic tip design prevents loss of components during surgical procedures.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by design comparison and biocompatibility testing.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: medical grade steel tube, stainless steel electrode tip, ceramic tip insulation. Energy: high-frequency (HF) electrosurgical energy. Form factor: laparoscopic instrument, some models with suction/irrigation. Sterilization: non-sterile delivery (multiple use).
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by surgeons during minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures to grasp, manipulate, dissect, retrieve, biopsy, cut, or coagulate internal tissue or organs.
Regulatory Classification
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.

## Ceramic Tip for Monopolar Electrodes - Premarket Notification Submission
### Device Description:
The Pajunk ceramic tip electrodes are multiple uses, non-sterile delivered and latex free medical devices. They are intended for transient delivery of energy required for coagulation of tissue.
The Pajunk MIC-System contains but is not limited to HF-electrodes for comfortable and safe coagulation. Pajunk provides electrodes with and without suction and irrigation element and electrodes with suction and irrigation capacity with retractable/ extendable tips. Isolation at tip is made by ceramic.
The Modular system for optional monopolar coagulation enables a surgeon to manipulate, dissect, retrieve, biopsy, cut or coagulate internal tissue or organs while performing laparoscopic procedures. The instruments are insulated for optional monopolar coagulation.
The electrode-tips are retractable for comfortable suction and irrigation performance.
The Pajunk ceramic tip electrodes are intended for transient delivery of energy required for coagulation of tissue. Ceramic tip electrodes are used during minimal invasive surgery, according to the professional surgeon and the instructions for use. The ceramic tip electrodes consist of a medical grade steel tube, ceramic tip and stainless steel electrode tip.
#### Technology Characteristics:
Pajunk's monopolar ceramic tip electrodes have the same technological characteristics as the predicate device identified below.
Pajunk's monopolar ceramic tip electrodes are substantially equivalent to Pajunk's monopolar electrodes marketed under 510(k) number K033249. All materials, dimensions and intended use are identical. There is one exception, which is the electrical insulation at the electrode tip. The polyamide (Nylon) coating is substituted by a ceramic tip.
Pajunk's monopolar ceramic tip electrodes are equivalent in design, physical dimensions, ceramic, metal and plastics materials, to Aesculap's monopolar ceramic tip electrodes marketed under 510(k) number K970541.
There is one design difference: Aesculap's monopolar ceramic tips can be unlocked from the electrode shaft. Pajunk's monopolar ceramic tips are fixed to the electrode shaft and can not be removed, nor lost during a surgical procedure.
Biocompatibility testing of Pajunk's monopolar ceramic tip electrodes is located in Section 7 of this submission.
#### Conclusion:
The comparison between the predicate device and the proposed device demonstrates that the proposed device is safe and effective, as well as substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
