The SB Knife Jr2 is a single-patient use EtO-sterilized hand-held device that connects to an external high frequency (HF) generator and is designed to be used with Olympus and ERBE Electrosurgical monopolar HF generators, connectors and patient grounding plates to cut tissue within the digestive tract using high-frequency current. Varying generator power, cycle and duration results in a control of these surgical capabilities. The SB Knife Jr2 is designed to connect with Olympus and ERBE connectors and use the disposable or reusable Olympus or ERBE grounding plates and connecting cables intended for the generators.The device is not life supporting or life sustaining. It is designed as a short-term limited contact device (less than 24 hours), has no software, and has been certified to comply with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-2, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-6 and IEC 60601-2-18 by ISO 17025 accredited laboratory.
A sterile, invasive, distal component of an electrosurgical assembly intended to deliver electrosurgical current in a monopolar configuration (i.e., used with a patient contact return electrode) to tissues for cutting/coagulation/ablation during endoscopic (e.g., laparoscopic, arthroscopic) surgery. It is available in a variety of forms (e.g., exchangeable electrode for electrosurgical forceps, rigid electrode, flexible endoscopic probe) which may include a lumen for suction/irrigation. It does not include a handpiece or housing and has no electrical or mechanical controls (e.g., does not include ring-handles); it is not intended for gas-enhanced electrosurgery. This is a single-use device.
