of different applications. However, the surgeon is free to modify these programs and store them under a new name in accordance with his/her own preferences and individual requirements. The unit has various cutting and coagulation current forms with defined grades or flexible wattage ranges to provide flexibility in interventional applications. Further features are monitoring of the return electrode, activation of HF output power by finger switches or by footswitch and service functions, accessible by Setup menu. Also, the unit can be used in association with an Argon Unit, the Beamer Plus CB200. The ESU is supplied nonsterile and is reusable.

Argon gas supply unit Beamer Plus CB200

The Beamer Plus CB200 enables and controls the gas flow required for the surgical process of argon beam coagulation. Terminals include argon gas inlet from the gas cylinder's pressure reducer, gas outlet for connection to the argon probe and a socket for connection with the Beamer Mate CE200 by means of CE/CB interface cable CB200-A03. Power supply and control is performed by the ESU, setting of flow rates and other beamer parameters as well as gas flow activation is done by the ESU. The only operation element at the CB200 is a "Purge" key that starts a three second's gas flow for filling a freshly connected probe with argon gas. The housings of CE200 and CB200 are matched for stacking both units with the CE200 upside. The housings are equipped with means to prevent horizontal movement of the units which enables placing on inclined surfaces without the hazard of slipping off or being torn off by connected cables or accessories. The CB200 is supplied nonsterile and is reusable.

Pressure reducer

The pressure reducer (CB200-A02) is an essential accessory delivered with the CB200 Beamer Unit. It drops the gas pressure of the argon gas cylinder which may be as high as 200 bar to a pre-regulated pressure in the range of about 4 bar which is input to the Argon Unit. The pressure reducer is equipped with a CGA580 connector at the high pressure side and a fast-lock connector at the beamer's side.

Cart CC200

The cart is intended as the system's carrier with a top plate to pick up the stacked ESU and Beamer Unit as well as the ESU alone. Inside the cart's body, an argon gas cylinder with pressure reducer can be placed and fixed. The cart is equipped with four swivel castors on stems protruding from the lower corners which provide mobility combined with high tilt stability. Two of four castors feature foot-tip operable brake levers to prevent random movement of the cart. A non-detachable just by the help of a tool) mains cord feeds the mains power through the cart to two cables with mains plug which allow mains supply of two units assembled at the cart, i.e. the ESU and a further unit that requires mains power. Further properties are three terminals for common ground connection, a basket for picking up accessories, a standard rail for infusion holders or else, a pickup for the foot switch and a handle for moving the cart.

Footswitches

A double footswitch (CE200-A01) is an essential accessory delivered with the ESU. It enables activation of cutting mode HF output power by pressing the yellow pedal or activation of coagulation mode HF output power by pressing the blue pedal. Allocation of the footswitch to one of the HF outputs is done in the main menu of the output channels. A single footswitch (CE200-A02) is optional delivered with the ESU.

This cable is intended for use with disposable neutral electrodes designed for cable clip connection. This cable belongs to the Applied Part of the system, is reusable and non sterile.

Connecting Cable for flexible argon probes

The Connecting Cable for flexible Argon Probes (CB200-A01) is an essential accessory in combination with the Argon Unit to connect argon assisted instruments with the ESU and with the Argon Unit which means that it features an electric conductor for HF power and a hose as guidance for the argon gas. The connecting cable is provided non sterile and is reusable. The cleaning and sterilization processes have been validated and are provided in the Instructions for Use to the user.

Intended use

The ConMed Beamer System CE600 with Accessories is intended to deliver electrosurgical current and Argon gas for the cutting, coagulation and argon beam assisted coagulation on tissue when used in conjunction with compatible applicators or probes.

Similarities and Differences of the Device to the Predicate Device

Electrosurgical unit (ESU) Beamer Mate CE200:

Similarities to Predicate Device

Both devices are intended for the same use. The handling of both devices is based on programs, both units use a color TFT display to show actual settings of the output channels and to manage the "background" settings in menus. Both units feature channel selection buttons to select a channel for being set. Both units use finger switches or foot switches for HF power activation. In both systems, the foot switch pedals can be allocated to any output. Both devices feature monopolar cutting currents with low, medium and to any currostasis during cutting and feature special current modes for gastrointestinal procedures where cutting phases alternate with coagulation phases. Both devices feature monopolar coagulation current modes for soft coagulation, for preparation and for noncontact coagulation with high voltage what is a prerequisite to generate a consistent argon beam. The output characteristics (Power, Impedance Matching, Voltages and Frequencies) are equivalent and same effective. Both devices feature bipolar cutting and coaqulation currents. Return electrode monitoring of single-plate and dual-plate electrodes is possible with both units.

Differences to Predicate Device

The CE200 features two fixed combo sockets M1 and M2 for monopolar current which accept the three-pin connector which is most common in the US market as well as the "Bovie-Plug", and two fixed sockets for bipolar current for connection of two-pin connectors with 28mm separation. The upper bipolar socket B1 is a combo socket which accepts a coaxial 12mm plug also. The lower bipolar socket B2 accepts the two-pin connector and

features two additional 2mm sockets for bipolar finger switch activation and bipolar instrument recognition. The Predicate Device uses three modular sockets in interchangeable drawers which may be monopolar, bipolar or both as well. Channel selection at the CE200 is done by pressing the yellow key of an output to set or change the cutting properties of this output or by pressing the blue key of this output to set or change its coagulation properties. During this procedure, the settings of all other channels are displayed simultaneously which gives an overall overview of the system's setting. Display of settings of a channel which is not used may be blanked by pressing the channel selection button and keeping it pressed for two seconds. With the Predicate Device, output selection is done by pressing the selection button at the output. The screen then displays the properties of this selected channel only, selection of a certain property is done by touch pads which are embedded in the frame of the display unit. With the CE200, changing of values and log-in is done by means of a rotary switch with axial push function while the Predicate Device uses three pushbuttons for the same purpose.

Argon gas supply unit Beamer Plus CB200:

Similarities to Predicate Device

Both devices generate a controlled argon gas flow which occurs on activation of an argon coagulation current at the ESU. Both beamer systems are designed to operate with their dedicated ESU only since power supply, flow activation and flow control is done by the ESU. Argon beamer system state is displayed on the ESU in both systems. Both systems feature a "Purge" key to remove residual air out of an argon probe and flush the probe with argon qas.

Differences to Predicate Device

ESU CE200 and Argon Unit CB200 are connected by means of a connection cable that supplies auxiliary power and control signals from the ESU to the Argon System. HF-power is not fed through the Argon Unit. With the Predicate Device, the connection between both system components is done by case-to case connectors which are incorporated into the bottom of the ESU and the top of the argon unit. This connection serves also as a HF power feedthrough from the ESU to the argon unit. With the system CE200 and CB200, the connection of the argon probe is done at one of the monopolar outputs M1 or M2 of the CE200 using the standard three-pin connector, and at the male luer-lock gas outlet of the CB200. With the predicate Device, electric and gas connection is done at the argon unit using a special multifunctional plug and a female luer-lock gas outlet.

Pressure reducer:

Similarities to Predicate Device

The pressure reducer CB200-A02 is the same model (same technology, same materials, same characteristics) from the same manufacturer (Linde company) as the Predicate Device.

Cart CC200:

Similarities to Predicate Device

Functionality of both carts is the same.

Differences to Predicate Device

The cart CC200 has a mains cord which is detachable only by use of a tool. The Predicate Device has a detachable mains cord and outlet sockets for mains power instead of cables so that additional connection cables are required unless the mains cord is connected to the ESU directly.

Connecting Cable for flexible argon probes Similarities to Predicate Device

Both - the new and the predicate Connecting Cables have the same intended use, principles of operation and technological characteristics. They are non-sterile and reusable. The connector receptable for the flexible argon probes is compatible to the Conmed CET Argon Probes. The products have no patient contact.

The conecting cable has the same dimensions in length and diameter.

Differences to Predicate Device

The Gas Connector of both devices is Luer-Lock, whereas the Predicate is a male connector and the New Device has a female connector. Within the New Device the HF-Plug is a Standard 3 pin-plug, whereas the Predicate has a special designed plug. The minor differences do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the product.

Conclusion

The Conmed Beamer System with its component CE200 shows same performance of the current modes in comparison with the Predicate Device and thus represents good substantial equivalence to the Predicate Device.

The fact that the HF power is not fed through the CB200 Argon Unit as it is the case with the Predicate Device does not affect the clinical properties at all. Since all other technical details are the same, the CB200 with accessories represents also substantial equivalence to its predicate Device.

The CC200 cart shows same properties as its Predicate Device. Minor differences do not affect the clinical properties of the system.

Thus, the system CE600 with accessories raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness. e proventified in the status the first of the learning and the many of the many
