Intended Use

The Mega 2000 Soft Dual Cord Patient Return Electrode Pad is to be used as a general purpose return electrode for one or two electrosurgical generators and/or a pressure reduction pad, in any surgical application. Electrosurgical use is restricted to use with isolated monopolar electrosurgical generators.

Device Description

The Mega 2000 Soft Dual Cord is constructed of a layer of conductive material strain-relieved with two sheets of urethane material, and sealed between two asymmetric layers of a viscoelastic polymer. (The top layer of polymer is thinner than the bottom layer.) The polymer is encapsulated by a layer of urethane film. Two cables connect the conductive layer of the device to two DetachaCables". The DetachaCable(s) are connected to a standard monopolar electrosurgical unit (ESU). The device cables are insulated and strain-relieved well inside the device to prevent patient or user burns. The device is large enough to extend at least the length and width of a typical patient torso. Pad size is approximately 20" x 46" x ½". In use, this device will lay on an operating room table with the patient lying on top, on the side labeled "patient side".

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the "Mega 2000 Soft Dual Cord Patient Return Electrode Pad." This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device and safety and performance testing for a medical device that assists in electrosurgery. It is not an AI/ML device, so many of the requested categories (e.g., training set, MRMC study, ground truth for training set) are not applicable.

Here's an analysis based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Maximum Safe Temperature Rise (ANSI/AAMI HF-18, paragraph 4.2.3.1)"The device is well within the requirements of the standard." (Tested with human volunteers and two electrosurgical generators, with and without a single linen layer between the pad and the patient). Infrared camera used to record temperature changes.
Electrode Contact Impedance (Minimum Capacitance Requirement)"Conformance with the minimum capacitance requirement was demonstrated through bench testing. Device capacitance was evaluated under several different test setups intended to simulate clinical use."
