Intended Use

Boyie Resistick™ II Coated Electrosurgical Electrodes are used for cutting and coagulating soft tissues during open surgical procedures.

Device Story

Bovie Resistick II Coated Electrosurgical Electrodes are single-use accessories for electrosurgical handpieces and generators. They deliver RF energy to cut and coagulate soft tissues in open surgery. The device consists of a stainless steel shaft and tip with a specialized coating designed to reduce friction and minimize burned tissue buildup. Available in blade, needle, and ball tip configurations, with variations in shaft length and exposure. Used by surgeons in clinical settings. The coating provides a functional benefit by maintaining electrode cleanliness during use, potentially improving surgical efficiency.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including electrical safety testing of electrosurgical accessories and biocompatibility analysis of the coating material.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Stainless steel shaft and tip with specialized friction-reducing coating. Configuration: Blade, needle, and ball tips; various shaft lengths and exposure levels. Energy: RF energy delivered via external electrosurgical generator. Sterilization: Sold sterile and bulk non-sterile. Connectivity: Passive accessory for electrosurgical handpieces.

Indications for Use

Indicated for cutting and coagulating soft tissues during open surgical procedures. No specific age or gender restrictions provided.

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.

### 510(k) SUMMARY (As Required per 21 CFR 807.92(c))

#### INTENDED USE:

Boyie Resistick™ II Coated Electrosurgical Electrodes are used for cutting and coagulating soft tissues during open surgical procedures.

#### DEVICE COMPONENTS AND OPERATION:

Bovie Resistick II Electrosurgical Electrodes ("electrodes") consist of coated blade, needle, and ball configured electrodes, sold sterile and bulk non-sterile, and are designed for single-use. These electrodes are used in conjunction with an electrosurgical handpiece and generator to deliver RF energy used to cut and coagulate soft tissues during open surgical procedures. The intended use of these electrodes is the same as that of previously cleared Resistick II electrodes. The coating is designed to reduce friction and to minimize the buildup of burned tissue. Although the coating is chemically different from that of predicate devices, biocompatibility analyses are being performed to demonstrate safety.

Each electrode consists of a stainless steel shaft and tip, a coating, and an insulation on the electrode meets the requirements for electrical safety testing of electrosurgical accessories.

Bovie Resistick II Electrosurgical Electrodes include three tip configurations; blade, needle, and ball. Within each configuration there are models that differ by length of the electrode shaft and whether the tips are partially exposed ("modified"). Eleven electrode configurations are the same shape and size as predicate devices cleared in premarket notification number K974735. There are an additional nine electrode configurations, each comprised of the same materials and having the same intended use. All electrodes are also to be available for sale as non-sterile components for subsequent placement into kits and trays.
