Intended Use

3M™ Universal Electrosurgical Pads are designed to work with most electrosurgical units (ESU'S) for virtually every surgical application where electrosurgery is utilized to provide a safe return path for electrosurgical current. Solid Universal Electrosurgical Pads are for use with generators that do not have a Contact Quality Monitoring System (CQMS). Split style Universal Electrosurgical Pad is for use with ESUs that have a CQMS (i.e. REM, ARM, NESSY etc.). The 3M™ Universal Electrosurgical Pads are designed to be used on any patient where full skin contact and a suitable placement site can be obtained. There are no patient weight restrictions for use of this product. Use of this product for unintended applications could lead to an unsafe condition.

Device Story

Electrosurgical return electrodes (pads) provide a safe return path for RF current during electrosurgery. Device consists of a conductive surface with green shaded coating technology for uniform current distribution, covered by a soft, conformable hydro-gel conductive adhesive, and a non-conductive border adhesive to isolate from surgical fluids. Used in surgical settings; applied by clinical staff to patient skin. Solid pad (9130) used with standard generators; split pad (9160) used with generators featuring Contact Quality Monitoring Systems (CQMS). Uniform current distribution reduces temperature rise, enhancing patient safety by preventing thermal injury at the return site.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Device performance verified against ANSI/AAMI HF18-1993 standards, specifically testing maximum safe temperature rise, electrode contact impedance, electrode adherence, and fluid tolerance. Biocompatibility assessed per ISO 10993-1.

Technological Characteristics

Conductive hydro-gel adhesive; non-conductive border adhesive; green shaded coating for uniform RF current distribution. Square form factor. Complies with ANSI/AAMI HF18-1993 standards for temperature rise and impedance. Biocompatible materials per ISO 10993-1.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients of any weight undergoing surgical procedures requiring electrosurgery, provided full skin contact and a suitable placement site are available. Solid pads are for generators without Contact Quality Monitoring Systems (CQMS); split pads are for generators with CQMS.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

There are no patient weight restrictions for use of this product. Use of this product for unintended applications could lead to an unsafe condition. {1}------------------------------------------------ ## Description of the Devices: 3M™ Universal Electrosurgical Pads, 9130 & 9160 have a green shaded coating technology that more uniformly distributes electrosurgical RF current over the whole conductive surface of the pad. The more uniform distribution technology and square shape permits universal orientation of the pad at a suitable placement site. The pad has a maximum temperature rise that is similar to pads up to 25% larger in conductor surface area. The entire surface of the conductive area is covered with a soft, conformable hydro-gel conductive adhesive. The pad also has a non-conductive border adhesive surrounding the entire conductive area to isolate the conductive area from surgical fluids. ### Safety and Efficacy: ### Biocompatibility: The biological Safety of selected components of the 3M™ Universal Electrosurgical Pads has been assured through the selection of materials which demonstrate appropriate levels of Biocompatibility. Tests were selected on the basis of Part-1 of ISO 10993-1, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices". ### AAMI Performance Testing: The 3M™ Universal Electrosurgical Pad, (9130) meets the ANSI/AAMI 5.2.3.1 Maximum Safe Temperature Rise, 5.2.3.2 Electrode Contact Impedance and 5.2.3.3 Electrode Adherence c) Fluid Tolerance of the ANSI/AAMI HF18-1993 Voluntary Standards for Electrosurgical Devices. The 3M™ Universal Electrosurgical Pad, Spilt (9160) meets 5.2.3.1 Maximum Safe Temperature Rise, 5.2.3.2 Electrode Contact Impedance and 5.2.8.2.2 Contact Quality Monitor/Maximum Safe Temperature Rise of the ANSI/AAMI HF18-1993 Voluntary Standards for Electrosurgical Devices. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.
