Indications for Use
The Spetzler™-Malis® Dual Illuminating Bipolar Forceps are designed for use with the Malis® Bipolar electrosurgical generators. The disposable Spetzler™-Malis® Dual Illuminating Bipolar Forceps are single use devices sold sterile and are intended for use in electrosurgery for coagulation of tissue and to supply light for surgical procedures.
Device Story
The Spetzler™ Malis® Dual Illuminating Bipolar Forceps are bayonet-style, single-use, sterile electrosurgical instruments. They function by connecting to a bipolar electrosurgical generator via a twin-pin cord for tissue coagulation and to an endoscopic light source via a fiberoptic cable bonded to each tine for surgical site illumination. Used by surgeons in clinical settings, the device provides both coagulation and light delivery simultaneously. The integration of fiberoptics allows for localized illumination at the surgical site, potentially improving visibility during delicate procedures. The device is designed to be substantially equivalent to standard bipolar forceps while adding the illumination feature, which is validated against reference endoscopic telescopes to ensure safe thermal output and light transmission levels. The healthcare provider uses the forceps to perform coagulation while benefiting from the integrated light, which aids in visualizing the target tissue.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Comparative performance testing evaluated non-stick coagulation efficacy (500+ events), illumination output (200-204 mW), and thermal safety (tip temperature and surface temperature rise on beef liver). Results demonstrated equivalence to the predicate for coagulation and to the reference device for illumination safety, with tip temperatures and light transmission levels remaining within acceptable limits (<110% of reference scope).
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Silver-plated aluminum base, PVDF insulation. Design: Bayonet-style bipolar forceps with integrated fiberoptic cables. Energy: Bipolar electrosurgical (RF) and fiberoptic light transmission. Connectivity: Twin-pin electrical connector; proprietary fiberoptic connector for light source adapter. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (ETO) to 10^-6 SAL. Standards: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-2.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in electrosurgery for coagulation of tissue and to supply light for surgical procedures in patients undergoing surgical procedures requiring bipolar electrosurgical coagulation and illumination.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device and accessories is a device intended to remove tissue and control bleeding by use of high-frequency electrical current.

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