Overview
The Jarit Surgical Instruments Catalog 615-330, 615-331, 615-334, 615-335, 615-338, and 615-339 are electrosurgical cutting and coagulation devices, designed to remove tissue and control bleeding through high-frequency electrical current. These instruments fall under the classification of electrosurgical cutting and coagulation accessories, intended for use in surgical procedures requiring precise tissue manipulation and hemostasis.
These instruments are supplied as reusable surgical tools, intended for use in operating rooms and surgical centers. The catalog includes multiple model numbers, each with distinct specifications for length and working dimensions, such as overall length of 527 mm and working length of 435 mm for certain models. They are authorized under FDA 510(k) clearance (K933728) and are classified under product code GEI, with a decision of Substantially Equivalent by the Surgical Devices Panel.

Questions
Are these instruments designed for single-use or can they be reused in multiple procedures?
These instruments are explicitly labeled as reusable surgical tools, meaning they are intended for repeated use in multiple surgical procedures after proper cleaning, sterilization, and maintenance. Since they are not described as disposable, they must be processed according to standard reusable surgical instrument protocols to ensure safety and functionality.
What are the key differences between the model numbers in this catalog, particularly in terms of size?
The catalog includes multiple models with varying specifications, such as overall length (527 mm) and working length (435 mm) for certain variants. While exact dimensions for each model (615-330, 615-331, etc.) are not detailed beyond these examples, the differences likely relate to functional design (e.g., blade shape, jaw width, or ergonomics) rather than just length. For precise sizing, refer to the manufacturer’s technical documentation or request a detailed size comparison.
How are these instruments authorized for use in the U.S., and what does the FDA clearance indicate about their safety and effectiveness?
These instruments received FDA 510(k) clearance (K933728) under the Substantially Equivalent (SESE) determination by the Surgical Devices Panel (SU). This means the FDA concluded that they have the same intended purpose, technological characteristics, and performance as a legally marketed predicate device, ensuring they meet applicable safety and effectiveness requirements. The clearance does not imply clinical superiority but confirms compliance with regulatory standards for electrosurgical cutting and coagulation accessories.
What types of surgical procedures are these instruments typically used for, and why are they considered essential in those settings?
These instruments are electrosurgical cutting and coagulation devices, designed for procedures requiring precise tissue removal and hemostasis—such as general surgery, plastic surgery, or dermatological interventions. The high-frequency electrical current allows surgeons to dissect tissue while simultaneously sealing blood vessels, reducing bleeding and improving procedural control. Their design supports applications where minimal trauma and efficient bleeding control are critical, like excisions, biopsies, or reconstructive surgeries.
Are there any special storage requirements for these reusable instruments to maintain their performance and sterility?
While the data does not specify exact storage conditions, reusable surgical instruments like these generally require clean, dry, and protected storage to prevent damage or contamination. They should be stored in a dedicated instrument tray or case, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, and protected from sharp objects that could cause nicks or warping. Proper maintenance (e.g., lubrication, inspection) is also essential before each use to ensure functionality and sterility.
