Frequently asked questions
What is the Propencil ESU Pencil used for in surgical procedures?
The Propencil ESU Pencil is designed for electrosurgical applications during general surgical procedures. It delivers focused energy to enable precise tissue cutting and coagulation, reducing bleeding and improving surgical control. This makes it ideal for procedures requiring fine manipulation, such as plastic or general surgery, where accuracy and minimal tissue damage are critical.
Is the Propencil ESU Pencil intended for single-use or reusable applications?
The Propencil ESU Pencil is explicitly designed for single-use only. This ensures sterility and reduces the risk of cross-contamination between patients, aligning with best practices for surgical instruments in controlled environments. Reuse is not recommended or supported by the manufacturer.
How is the Propencil ESU Pencil supplied, and what does ‘sterile’ mean in this context?
The Propencil ESU Pencil is supplied sterile and packaged for immediate surgical use. ‘Sterile’ means it has undergone validated processes (e.g., gamma irradiation or ethylene oxide sterilization) to eliminate microorganisms, ensuring it meets regulatory standards for unopened, uncontaminated surgical tools. The packaging remains intact until first use to maintain sterility.
What regulatory pathway does the Propencil ESU Pencil follow, and what does ‘SESE’ mean?
The Propencil ESU Pencil follows the FDA 510(k) clearance pathway, specifically under the Substantially Equivalent (SESE) determination. ‘SESE’ indicates the device is deemed equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device in terms of technology and performance, allowing it to enter the market without requiring demonstration of substantial equivalence to an unapproved device. The clearance number is K092732.
Are there different models or sizes available for the Propencil ESU Pencil?
The provided data does not specify multiple models or sizes for the Propencil ESU Pencil. It is classified under product code GEI (General Electrosurgery Instruments), which typically includes standard designs for general use.
