# 1. Device Description
Electrosurgical Generator-Model FW-350A has Monopolar and Bipolar modes that can satisfy the general requirements of electrosurgical field. The CQMS function can monitor the area of patient body applied with ESU pad during the operation every 40ps. Once the pad loses or that area shrinks, the computer will cut off all outputs within 40us to prevent patient from getting burnt. The PPS system ensure the safety of a constant output that send out compulsory stimulation at the initial instant of every CUT or COAG to make the operation process go smoothly. Moreover, the memory function can decrease the medical staff workload and human errors. At last, the Power ON self diagnostics function can diagnosis whether all working modes and functions are working normally and feedback information by code displaying and alarm voice prompt that the operational safety is improved greatly.
The electrosurgical generator can be compatible with electrosurgical accessories based on their output rating with FDA clearance. For example:
FDA 510k cleared Electrosurgical pencil : 510(k) No.: K092634 or other FDA cleared pencil FDA 510k cleared Electrosurgical pad: 510(k) No.: K102372 or other FDA cleared pad
# 5. Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Electrosurgical Generator - Model FW-350A is a non-sterile, reusablemulti-purpose electrosurgical generator that is designed to perform monopolar and bipolar functions in the surgical operation area.
# 6. Design
# Operating principles:
There're two working modes of electrosurgical generator: monopolar and bipolar
# A. monopolar mode:
With this mode, cutting and coaqulation of the tissues are accomplished by an integral circuit that consists of electrosurgical generator and its applicable accessories (ESU pencil, split ESU pad, which are not included in this submission, as long as the Up≥4500V of these accessories that will be
compatible, details refer to user manual). In most applications the current goes through the patient body by electrosurgical pencils and then returns to the generator by the circuit made of electrosurgical pad.
# B. Bipolar forceps mode:
Bipolar forceps provide high frequency electric power to human body by the two points of the forceps that coagulate the blood to make hemostatic effect through dehydratingthe vessels between the bipolar forceps. However, this function is limited within the area between the two forceps points and its damage on the tissue and influence area is far less than the electrosurgical pencils does, therefore, it is suitable to the ligation of small vessels (diameter <4mm) and salpinx and more widely used in the operations requiring high precision such as brain surgery, microsurgery, Ophthalmology and Otorhinolaryngology and gynecological surgery. The safety advantage of bipolar forceps is gaining more and more recognitions and its applications are being enriched.

| Working, storage<br>and transportation<br>parameters<br>(1,2 different) | These data is to specify the conditions of working, transportation and storage, for<br>different device, the internal circuit design and components choosing are different, so<br>they also have similar difference on working or storage conditions. But the<br>temperature, RH and atmospheric pressure are approximate and complied with the<br>normal conditions, so it can be deemed as the substantially equivalence. |
| Fuses<br>(3. different) | The model selection of fuse is according to the maximum current that maybe present,<br>and the function is to protect the unit. The different device has the different maximum<br>input current, accordingly with the different fuse parameter, but these factors do not<br>affect the actual application.…
