Intended Use

The intended use of the MegaSoft Universal Patient Return Electrode is to conduct monopolar electrosurgical energy from target tissue of a patient back to an electrosurgical unit (ESU), or generator. This device is intended to be used whenever monopolar electrosurgy is indicated. Electrosurgical use is restricted to use with isolated monopolar electrosurgical generators.

Device Story

MegaSoft Universal Patient Return Electrode; reusable pad (36" x 20" x 0.135"); conductive layer encapsulated in viscoelastic Akton polymer and urethane film. Device placed on operating surface; patient lies on pad. Connects to monopolar electrosurgical unit (ESU) via two-conductor cable and DetachaCable. Functions as return path for electrosurgical energy via capacitive coupling; current-limiting design (<100 mA/cm2) prevents return electrode site burns. Used in clinical operating environments; operated by surgical staff. Benefits patient by providing safe return path for high-frequency surgical current, minimizing risk of thermal injury.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Device tested for conformance to IEC 60601-1 (general safety) and IEC 60601-2-2 (high-frequency surgical equipment safety). No clinical data provided.

Technological Characteristics

Conductive layer strain-relieved with urethane; dielectric layer of Akton viscoelastic polymer; encapsulated in urethane film. Dimensions: 36" x 20" x 0.135". Connectivity: two-conductor cable to ESU. Current-limiting design (<100 mA/cm2). Standards: IEC 60601-1:2005, IEC 60601-2-2:2009.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients weighing ≥ 0.8 lb (350 grams) undergoing procedures requiring monopolar electrosurgery. Restricted to use with isolated monopolar electrosurgical generators. Not intended for RF ablation.

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.

#### E. Predicate Devices

ﺗﮭ

The predicate device is Megadyne's Mega Soft Return Electrode Pad which was cleared for marketing via 510(k) # K080741 by FDA's Office of Device Evaluation on December 12, 2008

## F. Applicant Device Description

The MegaSoft Universal Patient Return Electrode is constructed of a layer of conductive material strain-relieved with two sheets of urethane material, and sealed between two symmetric layers of a viscoelastic polymer called Akton® The Akton polymer is encapsulated by a layer of urethane film. One twoconductor cable connects the conductive layer of the device to a two conductor DetachaCable . The DetachaCable is connected to a standard monopolar electrosurgical unit (ESU). The device cable is insulated, strain-relieved, and connected well inside the device to prevent patient or user burns. In use, this device will lay on the operating surface with the patient lying on either side of the pad.

The pad size is approximately 36" x 20" x 0.135" and is intended for patients weighing ≥ 0.8 lb (350 grams).

#### G. Applicant Device Intended Use

The intended use of the MegaSoft Universal Patient Return Electrode is to conduct monopolar electrosurgical energy from target tissue of a patient back to an electrosurgical unit (ESU), or generator.

This device is intended to be used whenever monopolar electrosurgy is indicated. Electrosurgical use is restricted to use with isolated monopolar electrosurgical generators.

#### H. Technological Characteristics

The proposed device shares the same technological characteristics found in the Megadyne predicate devices.

#### I. Safety information

ﮟ

The only current flow from the patient to the MegaSoft Universal Patient Return Electrode Pad is via capacitive coupling. This device is designed to be current limiting (<100 mA/cm2) to prevent the patient from getting return electrode site burns.

{2}------------------------------------------------

The Akton is used as a dielectric layer. The desirable attribute of this polymer is that it compresses but does not laterally move under pressure, thus maintaining dielectric protection.

ー

Questions of safety and effectiveness are the same for this device as they are for the predicate device and other patient return electrodes on the market. There are no new technologies incorporated into the device.

Megadyne has conducted extensive testing to ensure conformance to the following voluntary standards:

IEC 60601-1:2005, Medical electrical equipment, Part 1: General requirements for safety and essential performance

IEC 60601-2-2:2009, Medical electrical equipment, Part 2: Particular requirements for the safety of high frequency surgical equipment
