Overview

AI-generated summary, 21 Sep 2026

Written by a language model from registry data. Not verified by deviCERTS or the manufacturer. The registry data above is the record.

An electrosurgical grounding pad cable is a device used to connect a patient return electrode (grounding pad) to an electrosurgical generator, completing the electrical circuit during electrosurgical procedures. It facilitates the safe return of high-frequency electrical current from the patient to the generator, minimizing the risk of burns at the return electrode site.

This device is supplied as a reusable or single-use accessory depending on the specific model and manufacturer instructions, and is intended for use in general and plastic surgery settings. It does not have inherent MRI safety properties unless explicitly stated, and its use, storage, and handling should follow the manufacturer’s labeling. The device received FDA 510(k) clearance (K780924) on June 22, 1978, under product code GEI, and is classified as substantially equivalent to a predicate device.
