Intended Use
E Surgical Coated Electrodes are intended as an alternative to uncoated stainless steel electrodes or "non-stick" coated electrodes for use in conventional monopolar electrosurgical accessories. The Coated Electrodes are intended for use in situations where monopolar electrosurgical cutting and coagulation are normally used.
Device Description
The E Surgical coated electrodes are designed as a standard stainless steel active electrode with a nonstick coating to prevent tissue and char build-up on the electrode. Three models: ball, needle, and blade are included.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a coated electrosurgical electrode with a non-stick coating, focusing on material properties and performance in cutting and coagulation. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven algorithms.

No
The device is an accessory (surgical electrode) used in electrosurgical procedures for cutting and coagulation, not a therapeutic device itself that treats a disease or condition.

No

The device is an electrosurgical accessory used for cutting and coagulation, which are therapeutic procedures, not diagnostic ones. Its function is to perform surgical actions, not to detect or identify medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "standard stainless steel active electrode with a nonstick coating," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the E Surgical Coated Electrodes are used in monopolar electrosurgical accessories for cutting and coagulation of tissue. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.

The device is a surgical tool used during a procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.

VII. Device Description

The E Surgical coated electrodes are designed as a standard stainless steel active electrode with a nonstick coating to prevent tissue and char build-up on the electrode. Three models: ball, needle, and blade are included.

VIII. Summary of Technological Characteristics

The active electrodes are substantially equivalent to the New Deantronic electrodes in the disposable hand switching pencil, K982742, and the Valleylab Edge™ Coated Electrodes, K962044. The electrodes are a modification to the single-use electrodes of various tip configurations. A proprietary coating provides a non-stick surface for easier cleaning of eschar during use.

The electrodes are intended for use during monopolar electrosurgery. The electrodes fit in currently marketed electrosurgical pencils offered by New Deantronics and other manufacturers.

IX. Safety and Performance Data

a. Meets safety and performance requirements under ANSI/AAMI HF 18 Electrosurgical Devices.

b. Finished product non-stick coating was bent to 90 degrees ten times without visible cracking of the coating.

Dear Mr. Ward:

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. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls.
