An assembly of devices intended to generate, and apply radio-frequency (RF) alternating current to soft tissues for cutting and coagulation during an endoscopic or open surgical procedure; it is not dedicated to focal ablation of specific tissues (i.e., not a radio-frequency ablation system). The assembly includes a mains electricity-powered (AC-powered) RF generator with monitoring functions/controls, connection cables, a handpiece, and electrodes to apply the energy to the surgical site. Tissue resistance to the electrical current creates the heat as the current travels through the body between electrodes; it is not intended for inert gas-enhanced electrosurgery.
