Indications for Use
Heinrich single-use non-stick bipolar forceps and Heinrich single-use non-stick irrigating bipolar forceps are intended for use by a physician familiar with electrosurgery for bipolar coagulation and irrigation of tissue for general open surgery where coagulation of soft tissue is needed. Heinrich single-use non-stick bipolar forceps and Heinrich single-use non-stick irrigating bipolar forceps must be operated within the following parameters: -Frequency range between 300 kHz-1,000 kHZ; -Maximum generator operating voltage 600Vp. Heinrich Single-use non-stick bipolar forceps and Heinrich single-use non-stick irrigating bipolar forceps have not been shown to be effective for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation for sterilization procedures and should not be used for these procedures. The types of surgery intended include: -ENT -Gynecology -Urology -General Surgery -Neurosurgery -Laryngeal Surgery -Orthopedic Surgery -Thoracic Surgery Heinrich Single-use non-stick bipolar forceps and Heinrich single-use non-stick irrigating bipolar forceps are connected through a suitable bipolar cable with the bipolar output of an electrosurgical generator. Heinrich single-use non-stick bipolar forceps and Heinrich single-use non-stick irrigating bipolar forceps must only be used with a bipolar coagulation current.
Device Story
Single-use, non-stick bayonet bipolar forceps (with or without irrigation) designed for grasping, manipulating, and coagulating soft tissue. Device inputs: electrical energy from an external electrosurgical generator (300-1,000 kHz; max 600Vp). Operation: physician grasps tissue between forceps tines; tines act as electrodes to deliver bipolar current, desiccating and coagulating tissue. Irrigating models include tubing to deliver fluid to the surgical site. Used in general open surgery (ENT, neuro, etc.) by physicians. Output: thermal coagulation of tissue. Benefits: non-stick tip coating reduces tissue adhesion; bipolar technique limits current flow to the small cross-sectional area between tines, minimizing collateral tissue damage.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical or animal data provided. Biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1) and electrical safety/EMC (AAMI/ANSI IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-2) testing passed.
Technological Characteristics
Bayonet-style bipolar forceps. Materials: Aluminum arms, silver/rhodium-plated tips, polypropylene caps, PVC/copper cables, nylon/polyamide powder coating. Energy: Bipolar electrosurgical current (300-1,000 kHz, max 600Vp). Connectivity: Wired to electrosurgical generator. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (EO). Single-use.
Indications for Use
Indicated for bipolar coagulation and irrigation of soft tissue in general open surgery (ENT, Gynecology, Urology, General, Neurosurgery, Laryngeal, Orthopedic, Thoracic). Contraindicated for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation procedures. For use by physicians familiar with electrosurgery.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION IV.
HG Innovations Ltd.'s electrical surgical instruments encompass a wide variety of instruments that are widely used in the medical industry. Electrosurgical forceps and electrodes have been used in surgery for many years. The single-use, non-stick bipolar forceps and non-stick bipolar irrigating forceps (various sizes and tip configurations), with preattached cables are designed to grasp, manipulate, coagulate and irrigate soft
{6}------------------------------------------------
tissues and are intended for use by a physician familiar with electrosurgery in bipolar coagulation for general open surgery where coagulation of soft tissue is needed. The blood vessel or tissue is grasped between the forceps tines, each of which acts as an electrode, and current passes to desiccate and coagulate the tissue. Bipolar forceps are connected through a suitable bipolar cable with the bipolar output of an electrosurgical generator. Bipolar forceps must only be used with bipolar coaqulation current. The bipolar forceps must be operated with the following parameters:
-Frequency range between 300 kHz-1,000 kHZ:
-Maximum generator operating voltage 600Vp.
