Intended Use

AED Bipolar Forceps are reusable devices (bipolar forceps/scissors and electrodes) that facilitate grasping, cutting and manipulation of soft tissue during laparoscopic procedures with the use of high frequency electrical current (bipolar electrocautery). AED Bipolar Forceps have not been shown to be effective for tubal sterilization or tubal ligation/coagulation for sterilization procedures. Do not use these bipolar forceps for these procedures.

Device Story

AED Bipolar Forceps are reusable electrosurgical instruments designed for laparoscopic soft tissue manipulation. The device consists of insulated bipolar handles, an outer shaft with an insulated tip, and interchangeable jaw inserts (forceps or scissors). It functions by delivering high-frequency electrical current to the tissue to facilitate grasping, cutting, and coagulation. The device is intended for use by surgeons in a clinical or operating room setting. It is provided non-sterile and requires cleaning and sterilization by the user prior to each procedure. The output is the mechanical and thermal effect on tissue resulting from the applied bipolar current, which assists the surgeon in performing laparoscopic procedures. The device does not include automated software or algorithmic components.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is based on design analysis and bench testing performed in accordance with IEC 60601-2-2 (safety of high-frequency surgical equipment) and ISO 14937 (sterilization validation).

Technological Characteristics

Reusable bipolar electrosurgical instrument. Components: insulated handles, outer shaft, jaw inserts. Energy source: high-frequency electrical current (bipolar). Standards: IEC 60601-2-2 (safety), ISO 14937 (sterilization). Sterilization: user-performed. No software or electronic algorithm.

Indications for Use

Indicated for grasping, cutting, and manipulation of soft tissue during laparoscopic procedures using bipolar electrocautery. Contraindicated for tubal sterilization or tubal ligation/coagulation procedures.

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.
