Intended Use
The HotDog Return Electrode Mattress is intended to conduct monopolar electrosurgical energy from the target tissue of a patient back to one electrosurgical unit (ESU) or generator in monopolar surgery. The HotDog Return Electrode Mattress is restricted to use with isolated monopolar electrosurgical generators. The Hotdog Return Electrode Mattress is intended for use with adult patients only.
Device Description
The HotDog Return Electrode Mattress is sold with a Return Electrode Cable, 4m (A136) that enables connection to one electrosurgical generator. The HotDog Return Electrode Mattress completes the circuit required for electrosurgery through Capacitive method. A capacitor is created when two conductive plates are separated by an insulator. The separation of two conductive plates by an insulator creates a capacitor. The insulator prevents current from flowing directly between the two plates, thereby avoiding the resistance which creates heat. With capacitive grounding, current from the active electrode produces a charge on the first conductive plate. This causes an equal (but opposite) charge to form on the second conductive plate. Current produced by the charge on the second plate produces electrical returns to the generator and completes the circuit.

No
The device description focuses on the physical and electrical principles of capacitive coupling for electrosurgical return electrodes. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related concepts in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No.
This device is a return electrode mattress used to conduct electrosurgical energy back to a generator, completing an electrical circuit during monopolar surgery. It does not provide any therapeutic effect itself but rather facilitates the function of a separate therapeutic device (the electrosurgical unit).

No

The device, a "HotDog Return Electrode Mattress," is described as a return electrode for electrosurgery, intended to conduct electrosurgical energy back to a generator to complete a circuit. Its function is therapeutic (enabling electrosurgical procedures), not diagnostic (identifying a disease or condition).

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical "Return Electrode Mattress" and a "Return Electrode Cable," which are hardware components. The mechanism of action described (capacitive method with conductive plates and an insulator) is also based on physical principles and hardware design.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to conduct monopolar electrosurgical energy from a patient back to an electrosurgical unit during surgery. This is a therapeutic/surgical function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details how the device works to complete an electrical circuit for electrosurgery. It does not involve analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic results.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device's function is entirely within the realm of surgical energy management.

Dear Temi Ogunse:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpm/pmn.cfm identifies.combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
