Product Description and Intended Use The Stryker SERFAS Energy System is a bipolar, radio-frequency (RF) electrosurgical system designed to deliver a high frequency output for use in arthroscopic and orthopedic procedures. The SERFAS Energy System consists of three main components: 1. The SERFAS Energy Generator 2. The disposable, single-use SERFAS Energy Probe 3. The SERFAS Energy Footswitch The SERFAS Energy Generator The SERFAS Energy Generator is the radio-frequency energy delivering unit, designed to deliver a high-frequency output to the treatment site to perform electrosurgical procedures. The front console panel features controls for adjusting the CUT mode power outputs and provides visual cues for CUT power levels, CUT and COAG activation, connection of Probe and Footswitch, and error code warnings. The rear console panel provides ports for connecting the SERFAS Energy Generator to other Stryker equipment, including Sidne™ and future Stryker firewire compatible devices. The features of the front and rear console panels are listed in Figures 1a and 1b. Figure 1a: The SERFAS Energy Generator, front panel 1. Power Switch: Powers the Generator on and off 2.
