#### 5.2 Date Summary Prepared
September 27, 2017
{4}------------------------------------------------
#### Device Trade Name 5.3
iSurg(MC6B)
#### Device Common Name 5.4
Electrosurgical Generator and Electrodes.
#### 5.5 Device Classification Name
Electrosurgical, Cutting and Coagulation and Accessories. Product code GEI. Classified at 21 CFR Part 878.4400.
### 5.6 Legally Marketed Device To Which The Device Is Substantially Equivalent
The iSurg(MC6B) is substantially equivalent to the Surgi-Max Ultra cleared under K170107and the JACO, LLC dba Macan Manufacturing RadioSurge™ Model MC6A cleared under K050735.
#### 5.7 Description Of The Device
The iSurg(MC6B) is an isolated output monopolar electrosurgical generator configured as a table top standalone device, Height 3.5in (89mm), Width 10.5in (267mm), Depth 6.5in (165mm), Weight 6lb (2,73kg) It produces 50 watts into 500 ohms at 3.0 MHz.
The iSurg(MC6B) generates RF current via an AM modulated power oscillator comprised of a class C beam power vacuum tube Hartley oscillator. The power oscillator runs at full power when actuated. Power control is by means of an attenuator in the form of variable air capacitor.
{5}------------------------------------------------
MOPP (Means of Patient Protection) is in the form of magnetic coupling to an isolated winding on a separate core in the RF coil providing type BF floating patient applied parts in accordance with IEC 60601-2-2. The RF coil primary serves as an intermediate stage with PE connection. MOOP is provided by the low voltage control board (61.010) which galvanically isolates the foot pedal from mains and earth and couples to the oscillator through opto-coupler and relay. SELV common on this board floats. The 81.001A Switch Board uses high isolation relays powered by the low voltage board to isolate the relay coils from the oscillator board. Oscillator actuation is by means of earthing the cathode of the beam power tube via a relay; oscillator OFF state is when the cathode of the beam power tube floats. Tube bias is by means of grid leak via the 10K grid load. The 10K grid load resistor is wire wound type with significant inductance: the current to ground through it is close to DC accordingly. It is current through this resistor that is sensed for the RF ON indicator and active tone (a function of the low voltage control board). The low voltage board also includes a warm up delay to prevent cathode stripping of the vacuum tube.

The indication for use statement is as follows:

## Histology Study
A histological evaluation of the cutting modes on porcine skin was conducted. The purpose of this study was to assess the length and depth of electrocautery effect (with these two dimensions defining the area of effect) on ex-vivo pig skin using histologic evaluation. Three different electrodes were used representing worst-case scenarios.
Five different electrocautery test article effects (comprising combinations of the specified electrodes with different waveforms designated as Groups 1-5) were each evaluated at minimal, nominal, and maximal power in triplicate. No cautery effect was appreciable within any group at minimal power. However, in all nominal and maximal power samples, distinct regions of cautery effect were evident within the dermis.
The incision electrode employing cut and blend waveforms had V shaped incisions that extended into the mid-dermis accompanied by small halos of cautery effect. Nominal and maximal power levels had similarly-sized areas of cautery effect for both waveforms.
The excision electrode employing cut and blend waveforms provided broad, shallow excisions with a curvilinear appearance and slightly raised margins extending into the superficial dermis accompanied by a thin halo of cautery effect. A direct relationship was observed with increased area of cautery effect occurring with increasing power levels.
The ball electrode employing a hard coagulation waveform affected a small focal area (approximately 2x1 mm), had a slightly convex central area on histology, and was accompanied by a small, focal halo of cautery effect within the superficial dermis. The relationship of cautery area to waveform power is somewhat uncertain; although average area of effect was slightly greater for nominal vs. maximal power, the small dimensions of test article effect could have lead to slight underestimation of maximal power effect due to sectioning variation.
At minimal power, no cautery effect was evident for any treatment group. For Group 1, with the incision electrode utilizing cut mode, the largest width of cautery effect was observed with maximal power as 0.421 mm (width); nominal power had slightly greater depth at 0.210 mm but was similar to maximal power (0.125 mm depth). For Group 2, with the incisoin electrode utilizing blend mode the largest area of cautery effect was observed with nominal power and was 0.473mm (width) and 0.190 mm (depth); but was similar to maximal values (0.369 mm for depth) and (0.148mm for width). For Group 3, with the excision electrode utilizing cut mode the largest area of cautery effect was observed with maximal power and was 6.239 mm (width) and 1.612 mm (depth). For Group 4, with the excision electrode utilizing cut mode the largest area of cautery effect was observed with
{9}------------------------------------------------
maximal power was 6.039 mm (width) and 0.917 mm (depth). For Group 5, with the ball electrode utilizing the hard coagulation mode the largest area of cautery effect was observed with with nominal power and was 2.256 mm (width) and 1.209 mm (depth), although small size of test article effect could have slightly underestimated cautery effect within the maximal cohort for this electrode and waveform combination.
