Dear Mr. Coombs:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products.

## C. Description of Device

The Trigger Switch and Cord are an electrical connecting cord assembly, intended to provide an electrical path between an RF electrosurgery generator and an RF surgical electrode. The insulated wire of the Cord is 10ft long. The Cord is intended to be plugged into an in-line Trigger Switch which is attached to the RF electrode handle with an adhesive backing. The Trigger Switch allows hand switching of the electrical current through the Cord during surgery. These devices can be used in hospitals and are used by trained professionals only.

The Trigger Switch and Cord are compatible with the monopolar instruments with a shrouded 4mm male electrical connector and with an electrosurgical generator.

Typically, these application devices are used in place of foot switches in the flow of electrosurgical current to the target site.

These devices are sold as sterile, single-use devices.

#### D. Indications for Use

The Trigger Switch and Cord are accessories that are intended for use in monopolar laparoscopic and thoracoscopic electrosurgical procedures where handswitching of laparoscopic and thoracoscopic instruments is desired.
