Intended Use
The ATI-014A insulation and continuity testing system is a non-destructive, non-patient contacting, voltage insulation tester designed to test the insulation of electrosurgical instruments. The ATI-021 has the same indications for use for insulation testing, but does not include continuity testing.
Device Story
Handheld, battery-operated (9V) testers verify insulation integrity and electrical continuity of electrosurgical instruments. Used by nurses in pre-operating room settings. ATI-014A performs both insulation and continuity testing; ATI-021 performs insulation testing only. Operation involves applying high voltage (2800V for surface, 1500V for internal cable) to detect insulation breaks via electrical discharge; continuity testing measures electrical resistance (10 Ohms threshold). Microcontroller-based firmware processes inputs from user (via foot pedal/electrodes) and provides visual (LED) and audible output signals indicating 'Pass' or 'Fault'. Device helps ensure electrosurgical instrument safety by identifying insulation failures before clinical use, reducing risk of accidental patient burns.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Handheld, 9V battery-powered. Enclosure: ABS plastic (UL94-V0 or HB). Sensing: High voltage (2800V/1500V) discharge for insulation; resistance measurement for continuity. Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Not applicable (non-patient contacting). Software: Microcontroller-based firmware. Standards: ES60601-1:2005/(R02012 and A1:2012, IEC60601-1-2:2007, ISO 14971:2007.
Indications for Use
Indicated for pre-operation nurses in hospitals to perform non-destructive, non-patient contacting insulation testing (ATI-021 and ATI-014A) and electrical continuity testing (ATI-014A only) on electrosurgical instruments.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

- (c) Non clinical tests- brief discussion:
Bench testing confirms same performance to predicate device(s).
The bench tests of subject tester (ATI-014A) confirm it is substantially equivalent with the predicate one (ATI-014), from the point of view of testing principles (using the high voltage), input commands, output voltage level used for test, output signals and electrical resistance measurement for cables (i.e., both functions of insulation and electrical continuity testing).
The bench tests of subject tester (ATI-021) confirm that he is substantially equivalent with the predicate one (ATI-014), from the point of view of testing principles (using the high voltage), input commands, output voltage level used for test and output signals for the function of insulation testing.
- (d) Clinical tests- brief discussion:
Not applicable.
- (e) Non clinical and clinical tests- conclusions drawn demonstrating that the device is as safe and as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate device(s):
Jac-Cell Medic testers perform as designed, in accordance with requirements. It is as safe and effective as the predicate device(s).
